NEET Biology question
Match the following columns.
| Column-I | Column-II | |---|---| | (A) Topoisomerase | (1) Relaxes the DNA from its super-coiled nature | | (B) DNA gyrase | (2) Relieves strain of unwinding by DNA helicase; a specific type of topoisomerase | | (C) DNA ligase | (3) Re-anneals the semiconservative strands and joins Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand | | (D) Primase | (4) Provides a starting point of RNA (or DNA) for DNA polymerase to begin synthesis of the new DNA strand | | (E) Telomerase | (5) Lengthens telomeric DNA by adding repetitive nucleotide sequences to the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes |
Solution
Each enzyme here maps directly to its own description in the given order: topoisomerase relaxes supercoiled DNA (A-1), DNA gyrase relieves the unwinding strain (B-2),
