A biochemist isolates and purifies various molecules needed for DNA replication. When she adds these molecules to DNA, replicati

olga55 [171]

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

The biochemist must have left out DNA ligase enzyme.

The DNA ligase enzyme is able to catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds and as such, capable of joining strands of DNA together to form a single strand.

The numerous DNA segments of a few nucleotides long observed by the biochemist must have been the replicated product of the lagging DNA strand. The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in short strands because the DNA polymerase enzyme can only elongate primers in 5' to 3' direction. The short segments are known as Okazaki segments and are usually joined together to form a whole strand by the DNA ligase enzyme.

Hence, the missing component is the DNA ligase.

Use the graph below to answer the following question: What is happening to the object's velocity?

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The object's velocity is increasing

Explanation:

From the graph above, we can deduce that the velocity is increasing. From the first stage, v=m/s=0.

At the third stage, v=20/2= 10m/s.

At the 5th stage, v=80/4=20m/s.

This shows velocity is increasing.
