The two enzymes that are used during DNA replication is helicase and polymerase. Each enzyme has distinct role that made it a vital part of the replication. In the course of DNA replication, the initial stage is to unzip the double helix structure of the DNA molecule by the enzyme helicase, which breaks the hydrogen bonds that holds the complementary bases of DNA.

Moreover, the DNA polymerase has the ability to exactly copy a DNA template. This enzyme binds to the leading strand and then adding a new complementary nucleotide bases to the DNA strand. In addition, it catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the increasing DNA chain.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The gradient in bed load is mostly made up mostly of gravels and sands, broken down versions of larger boulders and rocks, which are most commonly found in mountainous areas. Streams with low gradients cannot carry bed load down stream because it moves slowly and without much force. Gravels and sands couldn't move downstream because the water flow isn't strong enough to move them or to keep them in motion.
