If ssb is not present during dna replication, what would you expect to see?

A. SSB prevents reannealing of the separated strands, so strands would quickly reanneal and DNA replication cannot proceed.

Single-stranded binding proteins, or SSB, appear on the strands to separate the strands. Without a separation force, the strands would simply bind back together through hydrogen bonding.

The answer is a hope I helped

That would be a working theory.
