Solution
The correct option is C Nuclease
Cellulase
Cellulases are a group of enzymes that helps in the digestion of cellulose.
Nuclease
Any enzyme that helps in the cleavage of nucleic acids is called nucleases. Based on their mechanism of action, it is of two types as follows:
● Exonuclease
● Endonuclease
Exonuclease
Exonucleases are the enzymes that cut the double stranded or single stranded DNA and remove the nucleotides from the 5’ or 3’ ends.
Endonuclease
Endonucleases are enzymes that cleave DNA at any point within the DNA strand but not at the ends. Examples include restriction endonucleases like EcoR I.
Chitinase
Chitinase is an enzyme that is used to digest the chitin molecules. They are commonly present in the cell wall of the fungus.
Polymerase
Polymerase enzymes allow the formation of a long chain of DNA by adding nucleotides with phosphodiester bonds.
Final answer
(B) Nuclease
