Before DNA replication can occur the double stranded DNA must first

Biology
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer/Explanation:

First, initiator protein unwinds a short stretch of the DNA double helix. <u>The length of the DNA double helix about to be copied must be unwound. </u> In addition, the two strands must be separated, much like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases.   Once the DNA strands have been unwound, they must be held apart to expose the bases so that new nucleotide partners can hydrogen-bond to them. Then, a protein known as helicase attaches to and breaks apart the hydrogen bonds between the bases on the DNA strands, thereby pulling apart the two strands.

Match the mountain range with its formation. 1. Appalachian 2. North American Cordillera 3. Aleutian 4. Andes A. Two continents
melisa1 [442]

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.
