Answer:

As this is DNA replication, this is the unwounding process

Explanation:

In DNA replication, the parent DNA to be replicated is unwound to enable access of the replication machinery (replisome) to this genetic material. The origin of replication will be identified first, which in the prokaryotes is only one, and in the eukaryotes, we have many. This sites are recognized by specific sequences on the genome. after this, melting of the DNA occurs at this origin creating a replication bubble and two replication forks. This  allows for the unwinding of the DNA by the enzyme Helicases in the direction of the replication fork. Another enzyme present in this step is also the single strand binding proteins (SSB). These proteins function in the prevention of re-anealing of the unwound DNA strand by attaching themselves to each strands. Another enzyme called the topoisomerases also function here by reducing the torque (twisting) produced upstream of the replication fork as result of DNA unwounding. An example is the gyrase

Bad White [126]

The bacteria, Angelinus ballerinea secretes a compound that inhibits the growth of other Gram-positive bacteria. Scientists take this compound and add chemical groups to it to make it more stable for use in humans to treat bacterial infections. This is an example of antibiotic.

<h3>What is antibiotic?</h3>
  • Antibiotics from the key class of glycopeptides can stop this process.
  • Through five H-bonds, these antibiotics bind to the C-terminal d-Ala-d-Ala of the murein precursor, lipid II, and immature peptidoglycan, preventing transglycosylation and/or transpeptidation during the production of the cell wall.
  • Contrarily, antibiotics have easier access to the thick, porous peptidoglycan layer in the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria, allowing them to more easily enter the cell and/or interact with the peptidoglycan itself.
  • The two main antibiotics that prevent the synthesis of bacterial cell walls are penicillins and cephalosporins.
  • Penicillin is one of many antibiotics that assault the bacterial cell wall in order to operate.
  • The medications specifically stop the bacteria from producing peptidoglycan, a chemical that gives the cell wall the toughness it needs to live in the human body.

Why is soil considered a non-<br> renewable resource?<br> Plz help ASAP
