a. During DNA replication, enzymes unwind DNA to provide a template for making identical DNA strands.

b. During DNA replication, enzymes are made which are important in maintaining homeostasis.

C. During DNA replication, copies of DNA are made so there is a continuous supply of DNA available for translation.

Answer: a. During DNA replication, enzymes unwind DNA to provide a template for making identical DNA strands.

Explanation: The purpose of DNA replication is to produce genetically identical DNA molecules.

Replication is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA molecule into two identical daughter DNA. The enzyme known as helicase unwinds the DNA so that each strand will serve as a template for the synthesis of a complementary DNA strand. The. Two identical daughter DNA produced each contains one parent DNA strand and one new complementary strand.

How does young stem gives mechanical support to the plant body?
kodGreya [7K]

One is through turgidity. This occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells) become well developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. The xylem tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young plant helps render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding plant cells.
