Can environmental factors affect the coding of genes?

Biology

No, they cannot directly affect a change to genes. If there is a mutation in the genes (a change) and this is seen as beneficial to the individual in an environment and allows them to reproduce then it will be possibly passed on. Those with a beneficial gene for a change in environment will continue to produce offspring an survive and so the frequency of the allele (the gene) will increase and so the trait becomes more common

Why are single-stranded binding proteins necessary for DNA replication?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

d.They prevent the two parental strands from coming together again.

Explanation:

During the process of DNA replication, the two DNA strands should be separated from each other to serve as a template. To separate the two DNA strands, the helicase enzyme breaks down the hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs of the DNA strands. The process uses ATP as a source of energy.

Due to the presence of complementary base pairs, the separated DNA strands have a tendency to reanneal by the formation of hydrogen bonds. To prevent the reannealing of separated DNA strands, single stranded binding proteins bind to them. Binding to single stranded binding proteins to the separated DNA strands does not allow them to reanneal.
