**Enzyme Function in Bacterial Genome Replication**The following multiple-choice question highlights the enzymes involved in the replication of a bacterial genome:**Question:**All of the following enzymes would be used by a bacterium to copy its genome EXCEPT:- A. Helicase- B. DNA polymerase- C. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase- D. DNA gyrase**Instructions:**Select the enzyme that is not typically involved in the process of bacterial DNA replication. To reset your choice, use the "Reset Selection" option. **Explanation:**Each of the options refers to specific enzymes with distinct roles in the cellular processes related to DNA replication:- **Helicase:** This enzyme unwinds the DNA double helix, allowing the two strands to be copied.- **DNA Polymerase:** This enzyme synthesizes the new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.- **RNA-dependent RNA polymerase:** Typically involved in RNA replication in certain RNA viruses; not a regular participant in bacterial DNA replication processes.- **DNA Gyrase:** An enzyme that helps relieve the strain caused by unwinding of the DNA strands during replication.The correct answer is "C. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase" as it is not standard in bacterial genome replication.
