Question

module 2 exam 25 - 26 biology a / module 2: principles of inheritance 3. what keeps the two dna strands separate during replication? single strand binding proteins double strand binding proteins double strand binding saprophytes single strand binding phosphates

Explanation:

During DNA replication, single - strand binding proteins (SSBs) bind to the separated single - strands of DNA to prevent them from re - annealing (coming back together) and to protect them from nucleases. There are no such things as double - strand binding proteins, double - strand binding saprophytes, or single - strand binding phosphates that perform this function in DNA replication.

Answer:

single strand binding proteins
