Which of the following molecule(s)help(s)to hold the DNA strands apart while they are being replicated?
A)primase
B)ligase
C)DNA polymerase
D)single-strand binding proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Single-strand binding proteins attach to the single-stranded DNA template during replication and prevent the DNA strands from re-annealing, holding the strands apart while they are being replicated. Primase synthesizes RNA primers, DNA polymerase is responsible for synthesizing new strands of DNA, and ligase joins Okazaki fragments during the lagging strand synthesis.
