DNA Polymerase III telomerase primase DNA polymerase I ligasearrow_forwardConjugation differs from other means of horizontal gene transfer between bacteria cells because conjugation requires cell division. a bacteriophage virus. physical contact between the bacteria cells by a pili. heat-killed cells to release their DNA. DNA replication.arrow_forwardWhy are Gyrase inhibitors good antibiotics to use therapeutically? DNA Gyrase is required by prokaryotes, but not eukaryotes, to complete chromosomal replication so it's a good target to inhibit. O DNA Gyrase is required by eukaryotes, but not prokaryotes, to complete chromosomal replication so it's a good target to inhibit. It's impossible to develop resistance against Gyrase inhibitors so they are always effective. O DNA Gyrase is required by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes to complete chromosomal replication so it's a good target to inhibit.arrow_forward
