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.

Pancreatic cells, which secrete a large amount of digestive enzymes, are labeled with radioactive leucine and then chased for se
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

A pulse-chase experiment which is used to study the cellular process taking place in the cells. This uses the labelled molecule which is incorporated into the cellular pathway and then the unlabeled molecules are used over time to determine how much time is required by the unlabeled molecule to replace the labelled molecule.

In the given question, the pancreatic cell which secretes the digestive enzyme known as the acinar cell is labelled with the leucine and then used unlabeled leucine.

When observed after three hours, the black spots will appear on the exterior of the cell as the protein has been synthesised by the ER and now has been secreted from the cell.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Describe the Real world examples of newtons third law that were intended in applications of newtons law
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

  1. The recoil force of a bazooka (reaction) + the accelerating force of a missile
  2. When walking, the foot pushes down and back (action) + the floor pushes up and forward
  3. When a rocket is taking off, the combustion of the fuels (an action) creates a direct and opposite reaction which is the thrust of the rocket upwards.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. Simply put, forces act in approximately equal and opposite pairs (Action and Reaction).

This law is one of the reasons why the foundation of a building must be built in such as way that is exerting equal and opposite pressure against the building which it is carrying. When the forces are equal, the balance of forces are said to be in equilibrium.

Cheers!
