Answer:
DNA Helicase
Explanation:
The process of DNA replication is very complex and requires a variety of proteins in the form of Enzymes.
The DNA replication starts at the site which is about 245 base pairs long and is rich in AT sequences called Origin of replication. The origin of replication recognised by an enzyme called DNA helicase which breaks the hydrogen bonds present between the bases and unwinds the DNA. The RNA primase enzymes then synthesizes an RNA primer which gets attached and to which DNA polymerase binds and add nucleotides.
Thus, the first enzyme that binds to the DNA is DNA helicase.
This is what is commonly know as 'peat'. Peat is found in peatlands, bogs, mires and moors, and is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. The decay is slowed down by a lack of oxygen due to waterlogged conditions. These areas are very important carbon sinks as the CO2 released by the decaying matter is trapped within the peat. It requires thousands of years for peatland to develop. Peatlands are very important as they provide a record of past vegetation and climate within the preserved plant remains.
