DNA replication is the process in which a new DNA strand is synthesised from the existing DNA strand using that as the template.
DNA strands are built from building blocks of units called nucleotides, DNA exists as a double helix which means that two complementary strands are wound around each other and bonded by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases in the nucleotides.
1. replication begins when the DNA double helix unwinds
DNA helicase breaks the Hydrogen bonds keeping the two strands together and unwinds the helix so that the two strands are exposed for replication to be initiated.

2 . the nitrogenous bases pull apart from each other at a distance, exposing the two strands
The two strands pull apart from each other so that the strands are exposed for them to be used as templates in synthesising the new strands 

3. as the double helix continues to open, new nitrogenous bases are added on both sides
nucleotides consist of nitrogenous bases, phosphate group and pentose sugar. the uniqueness of DNA strands are in the sequence of nucleotides. the bases added to the new strand are complementary bases to that already in the template strand

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The correct option is this: A specific enzyme removes the hydrogen from the monosaccharide and the hydroxide from the polysaccharide, creating a bond between the two and creating a water molecule.

Explanation:

The process by which a monosaccharide molecule is added to an existing polysaccharide in biological systems is called CONDENSATION POLYMERIZATION.

During the process of condensation, an hydrogen atom and an hydroxide molecule from the reactants come together to form a water molecule; this leads to the formation of covalent bond between the reactants.

Condensation reaction is used in living organisms to produce complex macro molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, which are needed by the body for health growth.

Remember, condensation reaction always results in loss of water molecules and formation of more complex molecule. One example of monosaccharide is glucose while cellulose (found in plants) and starch (found in animals) are examples of polysaccharides.

The indications for using restraints are that the person is uncooperative and hysterical so that means that he/she may try to lash out at someone and hurt someone or themselves so restraint is a pre-cautionary measure to ensure no one is hurt.
