Question

An enzyme that catalyzes the cutting and resealing of DNA, and is translated from insertion sequences, is A) RNA polymerase. B) DNA ligase. C) DNA helicase. D) transposase. E) DNA polymerase.

Answer 1

D,Transposases

Step-by-step explanation:

Transposases are enzymes that catalyze the movement of genetic material from one location in the genome to another. They do this by cutting the DNA at a specific location and then resealing it at a different location, effectively moving the genetic material from one place to another. Transposases are often encoded by transposable elements or "jumping genes" that can move within a genome and cause genetic mutations or changes. The process of transposition can lead to genetic diversity and can also play a role in the evolution of organisms.
