Arecombinase is an enzyme that does all of the following except? -cleaves phosphodiester bonds in dna -ligates dna strands to one another -repairs mismatched dna bases -recognizes specific dna sequences

- ligates DNA strands to one another.

Recombinase is an enzyme that catalyze site specific recombination events within DNA. In meiosis it helps to generate new combination of alleles in the event of crossing over involves genetic recombination. It recognizes specific DNA sequence, mediates cleavage of phosphodiester bonds in DNA, strand exchange between homologous chromosomes, repairs the mismatched DNA bases. It does not ligate DNA strands to one another this is performed by another enzyme named DNA Ligase.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
