Updated On: Jan 9, 2025
- Topoisomerase I creates transient single-strand breaks
- Topoisomerase I creates transient double-strand breaks
- Topoisomerase II creates transient single-strand breaks
- Topoisomerase II creates transient double-strand breaks
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A, D
Solution and Explanation
Topoisomerase I relaxes supercoils by creating single-strand breaks, while Topoisomerase II creates double-strand breaks to untangle DNA during replication.
