उत्तर
| No | Type of enzyme | Examples | Functions |
| i. | Lysing enzyme | Lysozyme | Digesting bacterial cell walls |
| ii. | Cleaving enzymes (Molecular scissors) | Restriction endonucleases | An enzyme that cleaves a DNA duplex molecule at a particular base sequence, usually within or near a palindromic sequence |
| iii. | Synthesizing enzymes | Reverse transcriptase; DNA polymerase |
Reverse transcriptase: A viral enzyme that is capable of converting their RNA genome into a DNA copy DNA polymerase: It synthesizes DNA strand only in the 5′- to-3′ direction |
