Why are single-stranded binding proteins necessary for DNA replication?

Biology
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

d.They prevent the two parental strands from coming together again.

Explanation:

During the process of DNA replication, the two DNA strands should be separated from each other to serve as a template. To separate the two DNA strands, the helicase enzyme breaks down the hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs of the DNA strands. The process uses ATP as a source of energy.

Due to the presence of complementary base pairs, the separated DNA strands have a tendency to reanneal by the formation of hydrogen bonds. To prevent the reannealing of separated DNA strands, single stranded binding proteins bind to them. Binding to single stranded binding proteins to the separated DNA strands does not allow them to reanneal.

you are a biochemist working for a pharmaceutical company. you have been tasked with identifying a sample of nucleic acid. it is
Lorico [155]

The sample that is being discussed in the problem can be either DNA or RNA.

DNA and RNA are both very important molecules. Both of these hold immense value in biology since they store all the vital information required for living. The basic structures of the two are quite similar; the only difference is that DNA is double-stranded while RNA has a single strand.

DNA and RNA molecules both contain a five-carbon sugar (ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Except for cytosine, guanine, and adenine, the fourth part is the phosphate group that exists in both. RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine.

Since it has not been mentioned here what the fourth part might be, the sample might be a DNA or an RNA molecule.

Review the diagram of the animal cell given below and answer the following questions:
natta225 [31]

Animal cells are a usual example of a eukaryotic cell, enveloped by a plasma membrane, and comprising a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. Like the cells of plants and fungi, they do not exhibit cell wall.  

The labeling in the mentioned diagram is:  

A. Rough endoplasmic reticulum

B. Cytoplasm

C. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

D. Nucleolus

E. Nucleus

F. Mitochondria

G. Golgi apparatus

H. Lysosome

I. Plasma membrane

The Golgi apparatus functions closely with the rough endoplasmic reticulum. When a protein is formed in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, then the formation of transition vesicle takes place. This vesicle or sac floats via the cytoplasm to the Golgi apparatus and is then absorbed. From there, the vesicle travels to the membrane of the cell and the molecules are then discharged out of the cell.

Explain why you think the current model of the atom will or will not change over time ?
KiRa [710]

I think it will change, because over the years they have found different ways to show the atom, and different discoveries. We always have a new chance to discover something new about the atom.

Which feature is found in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells? A. nucleus B. plasma membrane C. nucleoid D. cytoplasm
Ronch [10]
The answer is A. - Prokatyotic cells lack a defined nucleus while eukaryotic cells do have one :) I loved learning about the cells in biology! But I noticed your question is worded a little differently so the nucleus would be the one thing a eukaryotic cell has that a prokatyotic cell does not...
