Which of the following pairs is mismatched? Group of answer choicesRNA polymerase = adds nucleotides to a molecule of RNA from an RNA templateDNA primase = adds primer to replicating DNADNA polymerase = adds nucleotides to a molecule of DNA from a DNA templateDNA helicase = relaxes and uncoils the twisted DNADNA ligase = joins segments of DNA in the lagging strand
Question
Which of the following pairs is mismatched? Group of answer choicesRNA polymerase = adds nucleotides to a molecule of RNA from an RNA templateDNA primase = adds primer to replicating DNADNA polymerase = adds nucleotides to a molecule of DNA from a DNA templateDNA helicase = relaxes and uncoils the twisted DNADNA ligase = joins segments of DNA in the lagging strand
Solution
The mismatched pair is "DNA helicase = relaxes and uncoils the twisted DNA". DNA helicase actually separates the two strands of DNA, it does not relax and uncoil the DNA. That is the job of DNA topoisomerase.
