Helicase is the name of the specialized enzyme that unzips the bonds between bases.

By severing the hydrogen bonds between base pairs and unwinding the DNA molecule's two strands, an enzyme known as Helicase aids in unzipping the molecule. It binds to and dissolves the hydrogen bonds connecting the bases on the DNA strands. These hydrogen bonds continue to be broken as the helicase travels along the DNA molecule, separating the two polynucleotide chains.

Primase, a different enzyme, momentarily binds to each strand when the helicase separates them in order to build a foundation upon which replication can start.

BARSIC [14]
The four factors that affect evolution are mutations, natural selection, genetic drift and the gene flow, In the case, if the ground finches that Grants studied, we can observe the working of the natural selection. Due to change in the conditions in the environment, the large beak was an advantageous trait that was favored by the natural selection. The result of this process was an increase in numbers of large beaked finches and decrease in small-beaked finches compared to the initial numbers in the population.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3' end

Explanation:

DNA replication process produces the exact copy of DNA which requires various enzymes. The function of adding a nucleotide to the daughter strand is performed by the enzyme called DNA polymerase.

The DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the process of DNA replication which requires energy provided by the dNTP. The enzyme adds new nucleotides at 3'-OH end of the DNA which favour the reaction energetically.  

Thus, the new DNA strand appears to be elongated in the 5' to 3' direction.
