Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Topoisomerase II is responsible for breaking the backbone of the DNA double helix by creating a transient double-stranded break, allowing the DNA to unwind and then resealing the break, which reduces supercoiling and allows DNA replication and transcription to occur. Supercoilase and ligase are involved in DNA repair mechanisms. Transcriptase is involved in RNA synthesis, while polymerase is responsible for DNA replication and transcription.
