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.

Define what is meant by causal association according to Hill's criteria. From your own experiences, give an example of how the 3
xenn [34]

Answer:

Causal association is defined as two events in which one event leads to the cause/development of the second event such as the consumption of trans-fats and the onset of heart disease. In order to show the causal association, it is necessary to ensure that the 3 criteria of temporality, consistency, and strength are satisfied with respect to the relationship between consumption of trans fats and heart disease. According to this example involving the relationship between trans-fats and heart disease, temporality could be satisfied if one is consuming an excessive amount of foods containing trans-fats such asFrench fries, and who then ends up suffering from heart disease. In order to fulfill the criteria of strength, statistical tests would need to be performed in order to establish that there is a positive correlation between the individuals who consume trans-fats 10 times per week are shown to develop and require treatment for heart disease 90% of the time. Lastly, consistency may be fulfilled by showing that the same results are occurring despite applying the same testing measures on different groups of individuals during various increments. By applying the same tests on different groups, the chances of creating false-positives within the study can be significantly lowered. Numerous studies can be used to determine whether meaningful statements regarding the causal relationship between two factors can be established. By performing multiple studies on individuals’ eating habits and their health outcomes, researchers may then determine whether a relationship exists between the health challenges that they are faced with and the items that they consume.

How is stomach acid neutralized in the small intestine
Bingel [31]
"It converts the inactive enzyme pepsinogen into the active enzyme pepsin, which is responsible for digesting proteins in your stomach. HCL also helps digest other foods in your stomach. Ultimately, HCL is neutralized by chemicals secreted in your small intestine." But, use your own words, though. Because I just hit copy & paste. Hope this helps!
