Students wanted to perform an experiment to mimic natural selection. They noted that small plants growing in the school garden h

ad projections that extended from the leaves. These projections are called trichomes. They hypothesized that the trichomes protect the plant from herbivory, when herbivores eat the leaves from the plants and cause damage. The students counted the average number of trichomes per leaf and plotted this on the top graph, shown here. They then selected parent plants that had a higher than average trichome number per leaf to pollinate, creating a new generation of plants. The distribution of average trichome number for the second generation is shown in the bottom graph.
Which statements below are supported by the information shown here?
A) The trichome number is controlled by a genetic factor.
B) Directional selection occurred due to the student's experiment.
C) Herbivores can no longer consume the plants in the second generation.
D) The genotypic frequencies of the first and second generation should be identical.
E) Artificial selection can alter phenotype frequencies in as few as two generations.

A new DNA strand elongates only in the 5' to 3' direction because _____.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

d. DNA polymerase begins adding nucleotides at the 5' end of the template

Explanation:

Polymerase DNA always works in one direction, synthesizing the new 5' to 3' oriented chains and adding nucleotides to the 3' end of a new synthesis chain by forming phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate of a nucleotide and the sugar of the anterior nucleotide.  

Because DNA polymerase only acts in a 5' to 3' direction, replication along a chain, the leading chain, occurs continuously. The synthesis of the opposite chain, the delayed chain, occurs discontinuously because the DNA polymerase must wait for the replication fork to open. Over the delayed chain, short segments of DNA called Okazaki fragments (named after Reiji and Tsuneko Okazaki, the scientists who discovered these fragments) are synthesized as polymerase DNA works out of the replication fork. Ligase DNA catalyzes the covalent bonds between Okazaki fragments in the delayed chain to ensure there are no gaps in the phosphodiester skeleton. Finally, the first ones are removed and these gaps are filled by the DNA polymerase.

How come people feel pain?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

"When your body is injured in some way or something else is wrong, your nerves (cells that help your body send and receive information) send millions of messages to your brain about what's going on. Your brain then makes you feel pain." -Why Do I Have Pain? (for Kids) - Nemours KidsHealth

I didn't write that, but I gave credit to whoever did.
