Why does a new DNA strand elongate only in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication? (A) DNA polymerase begins adding nucle

otides at the 5 ' end of the template. (B) The polarity of the DNA molecule prevents addition of nucleotides at the 3' end. (C) Replication must progress toward the replication fork. (D) DNA polymerase can add nucleotides only to the free 3' end.

A new DNA strand elongate only in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication because the  "polarity of the DNA molecule prevents addition of nucleotides at the 3' end" .

DNA replication occurs in the 5' to 3' direction. DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3' OH group of the growing DNA strand, this is why DNA replication occurs only in the 5' to 3' direction.

DNA polymerase can only add to the 3' end, so the 5' end of the primer remains unaltered. Consequently, synthesis proceeds immediately only along the so-called leading strand.

Hence, the correct answer will be option (B)

New question: Indicate the location of DNA in eukaryotic cells.
Norma-Jean [14]
Explanation:

Most of the DNA is found in the cell nucleus but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria and it is called mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA, unlike nuclear DNA, is inherited from the mother, while nuclear DNA is inherited from both parents.

The nuclear DNA is found within a compartmentalized area within the cell called the nucleus. Each DNA molecule must be packed very tightly and precisely. This super-packaged form of DNA is called a chromosome.

we can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:The location of DNA in eukaryotic cells is:Cell nucleus as nuclear DNA.Mitochondria as mitochondrial DNA.

What is the DNA test examining specifically?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

it is examining the lipid level of the cells

Explanation:

The general procedure includes: 1) the isolation of the DNA from an evidence sample containing DNA of unknown origin, and generally at a later time, the isolation of DNA from a sample (e.g., blood) from a known individual; 2) the processing of the DNA so that test results may be obtained; 3) the determination of the ...

What describes a result of the greenhouse effect?
dexar [7]
The greenhouse effect occurs when rays enter our atmosphere and are reflected from the ground up. They get changed during their voyage through our atmosphere and they change in such a way that they can't leave the atmosphere anymore. Then they stay inside and heat up the planet which causes thing like global warming. That's what the greenhouse effect is.
