Answer: DNA Ligase

Explanation:

During DNA replication, both the parental DNA strands are separated and act as templates for the synthesis of new strands. The formation of the new strands occurs in only 5'-3' direction and thus both the strands are synthesized in a different manner. One new strand with the template of 3'-5' direction will be synthesized continuously and is called a leading strand. The other strand with the template of 5'-3' direction will be synthesized discontinuously in the form of DNA fragments. These fragments are called Okazaki fragments and the strand is called a lagging strand. DNA ligase connects these fragments later to form a continuous lagging strand.

Therefore, DNA ligase is required for ligation of Okazaki fragments, and in absence of DNA ligase, the ligation of fragments will not occur and the newly synthesized strand will be discontinuous. However, if DNA ligase is not present in the reaction mixture, then the chances are that not all the newly synthesized DNA strands will be discontinuous. Only the DNA molecule with the lagging strand will be in the form of fragments.

Which of the following is the term used to describe a body resistance to change in motion
bija089 [108]
<span>Inertia refers to a body or any physical object’s resistance to a change in motion. This change in motion includes, speed, direction, or state of rest. Objects that have moved will keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity. Inertia is one of the fundamental principles of classical physics, for it describes motions of objects and how they are affected when forces are applied on them. Inertia is one of Isaac Newton laws from Philosophia Naturalis Principia Mathematica. </span>
