A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer, which is a double layer of phospholipids. Each phospholipid has a hydrophilic phosp

hate head and a hydrophobic lipid tail. These phospholipids are not chemically bound to one another, but rather maintain their structure due to the fact that the lipid tails do not like water. They’re hydrophobic. If they all buddy up, then they can all stay dry. (See the figure below.) What is the function of the phospholipid bilayer?

Single Strand Binding Proteins are responsible for:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

A. keeping the strands separated during replication

Explanation:

Prior to the process of DNA replication, the double-stranded DNA must first be separated into single strands by an enzyme called DNA helicase. This is done so that each DNA strand can serve as template for the synthesis of another.

After the unwinding and separation, the single strands still need to be kept apart during the synthesis of new nucleotides by DNA polymerase. This role of keeping the strands separated during replication is carried out by SINGLE STRAND BINDING PROTEINS.
