Topoisomerases are associated with
A) production of RNA from DNA.
B) joining of nucleotide monomers to make polynucleotides.
C) supercoiling of DNA.
D) ribosomes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Topoisomerases are enzymes that are responsible for altering the topology of DNA, which includes the supercoiling of DNA. Supercoiling is important for compacting DNA into the confined space within the nucleus, as well as regulating gene expression. Topoisomerases can both introduce and relieve supercoiling in DNA.
