What is the function of the enzyme topoisomerase in DNA replication?

#Section 3: Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology
  1. relieving strain in the DNA ahead of the replication fork caused by the untwisting of the double helix

  2. elongating new DNA at a replication fork by adding nucleotides to the existing chain

  3. reattaching the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs in the double helix

  4. building RNA primers using the parental DNA strand as a template

Proline and glycine both disturb the symmetry of α-helix which of the following are true regarding to these two amino acids
a) proline changes the orientation of hetropolymeric α-helix hence proline can be placed only as 1st amino acid residue near to C-terminus 
b) proline changes the orientation of polymeric α-helix hence proline can be placed only as 1st amino acid residue near to N-terminus
c) glycine disrupts the heteropolymeric α-helix by changing the helicity.
d) homopolymer of proline and glycine can form stable helix.

Which of the following is incorrect 
a) antiparallel β sheets are frequently found and they are quite more stable because of more no. hydrogen bond presence and linear H bonding pattern.
b) antiparallel β sheets are frequently found and they are quite more stable because of more no. hydrogen bond presence and having distorted H bonding pattern.
c) parallel β sheets are relatively less stable and mostly found in core of protein.
d) parallel β sheets are relatively more stable and mostly found in core of protein.
