Answer: d. single-stranded binding proteins

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process through which DNA produces multiple copies of itself with the help of several enzymes or proteins.

Single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) is one of the key protein resposnible for DNA replication. SSB binds to seperated ends of DNA and prevent the unwinded strands to get winded again which further allows enzymes to bind to a single-stranded DNA and proceed the replication process.

Due to the mutation of Single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB), the DNA  is able to separate with the help of helicase enzyme but the template strands come back together before replication.

Hence, the correct option is d. "single-stranded binding proteins".

facilitated diffusion requires _____. a. membrane proteins b. transport proteins c. membrane pouch d. energy
Goryan [66]
The answer is <span>b. transport proteins.
</span>
Facilitated diffusion is the process of passive transport, which means without using of energy, of ions and molecules across a cell membrane. Although, this process does not require energy such as active transport, transport proteins are required. The role of transport proteins in facilitated diffusion is to provide a hydrophilic route within hydrophobic lipids of the membrane, and that way facilitate ions and molecules to cross the membrane.
