Which enzyme catalyzes the elongation (synthesis) of a dna strand in the 5' → 3' direction?

1 answer:

5 0

A DNA strand is lengthened in the 5'-3' direction by DNA polymerase. And this process is known as the elongation.

What are the properties of DNA Polymerase?

Using the DNA template strand and a starting primer, an enzyme known as (DNA-dependent) DNA polymerase creates a new DNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction.
The growing synthesized DNA strand is supplemented by the DNA polymerase with complementary nucleotides one at a time. Base-pairing is the process by which the complementary sets of nucleotides are joined to the bases of the template DNA strand.
Some DNA polymerases also possess 3'-5' exonuclease activity, which checks DNA strands for replication mistakes.

When a person loses consciousness due to a head injury from a car crash, the ____________________ keeps the body functioning by

Evgesh-ka [11]

The question is asking us to fill in the gaps in the following sentence: When a person loses consciousness due to a head injury from a car crash, the (gap) keeps the body functioning by regulating the flow of information between the brain and the rest of the body. The best answer is that the gap should be filled by "autonomous nervous system" - this system is the one that is not controlled consciously, but one that is working in the background to make sure our body functions work properly.

In which of the following ways is DNA replication different from DNA transcription? (4 points)

Margarita [4]

Answer:

<h3>Transcription copies the DNA into RNA, while replication makes another copy of DNA. Both processes involve the generation of a new molecule of nucleic acids, either DNA or RNA; however, the function of each process is very different, with one involved in gene expression and the other involved in cell division.</h3>

Explanation:

So,my answer is,transcription happens outside the nucleus,and replication happens inside the nucleus.
