उत्तर
Topoisomerase I maintains the supercoiled state of the prokaryotic nucleoid by relaxing positive supercoils. This enzyme is essential for balancing the topological stress generated during DNA replication and transcription, preventing excessive positive supercoiling that would inhibit these vital processes.
