Answer: The correct answer is- B. Helicase enzyme.

DNA replication is a biological process of formation of two identical copies of DNA from a single original DNA molecule. Helicase or DNA helicase is an enzyme that is activated first ( in the intitiation phase of DNA replication).

This enzyme acts like a zipper as it unwinds ( unzip) the two strands of DNA so that template strands are exposed, which allows DNA polymerase enzyme to add nucleotides according to Watson and Crick base pairing.

Thus, B. Helicase enzyme is the right answer.

Helicase. It unwinds and breaks the hydrogen bonds so other molecules can move on to the DNA strand and begin replication.

How is a high blood pressure built up in a glomerulus?
sineoko [7]
The glomerulus is supplied blood by the afferent arteriole, then the efferent arteriole takes away blood from the glomerulus. The afferent arteriole has a larger diameter than the efferent arteriole. The efferent arteriole, due to its smaller diameter creates some resistance to blood flow causing a blood back-up which creates a high pressure in the glomerular cavity. Therefore fluid and solute are forced out from the blood and into the glomerular capsule. Most of this filtrate is returned to the blood via peritubular capillary bed surrounding the nephron.
