Why is chitinase useful in fungal DNA extraction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it degrades chitin present in the fungal cell wall

Chitin can be a major structural component of the fungal cell wall. Chitinase breaks down chitin and helps disrupt the cell wall, making it easier to release DNA. RNase is used to remove RNA, whereas detergents help dissolve membrane lipids. Exam tip: Match the enzyme to the cell-wall component—chitinase is used for fungi.
