Plants have a vascular system (analogous to ours) made of Xylem, cells which bring nutrients from the roots to the leaves, and Phloem, cells that move sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant. when you bend or snap the stem, these "veins" can be broken, and will no longer transfer nutrients to and from the upper part of the plant, even standing the stem back up will not reconnect these. and, like cutting off circulation to your hand, the part not receiving nutrients will soon shrivel and die.

2. During DNA elongation, helicase enzyme separates the double stranded DNA  into single strand by melting the hydrogen bond that holds the DNA molecule together thus enabling each strand to be copied while the telomerase acts by preventing the telomere from been deleted during elongation.
