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

Channels allow the appropriate ions or small molecules to pass through.<br> (a) True<br> (b) False
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

A channel protein refers to a protein, which permits the conduction of particular substances like small molecules or ions through the cell membrane. They perform this task either through the process of active transport or facilitated diffusion on the basis of the concentration gradient or due to the variation in the concentration of components outside and within the cell membrane.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The darker moths would be harder for the bird to see due to the amount of soot on the trees. The darker moth population would thrive and continue to grow, while the lighter colored moth population would decrease.

How does gene flow prevent a population for adapting to its environmenta
romanna [79]

gene flow or migration between two populations will help maintain similarities between the species, therefore preventing (or slowing down) the process of speciation. and when the environment changes rapidly, this can cause an overall decrease in population size because of a failure to adapt adequately to environmental changes. i hope this helped <3
