Explain the importance of the following features in conjugating donor bacteria:

relaxase

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following enzymes binds to the origin of transfer or the or E T of the plasm T strand and cleaves the strand at the unique site allowing for the transfer of genetic material from the donor to the recipient bacteria. Now, as answer choice A we have primate as answer choice B we have polymerase as answer choice C we have relaxes and as answer choice D we have endo nucleus. Let's begin by reviewing answer choice A it's going to be primate. So primate is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of short are innate molecules called primers which are necessary for DNA replication. This is not what the question is stated. So we're going to cancel this out. Then we have the which is going to be polymerase. So polymerase is an enzyme that catalyze the formation of a polymer, which is a large molecule composed of repeating structural units. An example of this is a DNA polymerase. Again, this is not what the question is stating. So we're going to cancel this out. Then we have D which is going to be endonuclease. Now endonuclease is an enzyme that is going to be cleaving genetic information using restriction sites. The difference here is that it's not going to be leaving them at the next site rather at a restriction site. So we're also going to cancel this out. And then finally, we have relax. And as it turns out, relax is an enzyme that is responsible for the recognition and the cleavage of specific DNA sequences at the origin of transfer of a conjugate plain. This is going to be equal to what the question is stating. And so we're going to highlight answer choice C relaxes as the correct answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
