Answer to Question #214499 in Molecular Biology for Moe

Question

2.2) In replication, once the DNA strands have been separated, reformation of the double helix is prevented by:

1. DNA helicases.
2. Single-strand binding proteins.
3. Topoisomerases.
4. DNA polymerase III.
5. DNA ligase.

Answer 1

Correct answer is - 2.Single-strand binding protein.

These proteins Bind to single-stranded DNA to prevent hydrogen bonding between DNA strands, reforming double-stranded DNA.
