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

Biology

Margarita [4]2 years ago

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.

Explanation;

-Most X-linked traits in humans are recessive. One example of an X-linked trait is red-green colorblindness. Let (Xc) represent the recessive allele that causes colorblindness and (XC) represent the normal dominant allele. Females that are XCXC or XCXc have normal color vision, while XcXc females are colorblind. For males with; XcY are color blind, while those with XCY are have normal color vision.

Heterozygous female, XcXC

Normal male, XCY

The offspring of the parents, XcXC x XCY, are: XcXC (heterozygous female), XCXC( normal vision female), XCY (normal vision male), XcY (color blind male).
