A student isolates, purifies, and combines in a test tube a variety of molecules needed for DNA replication. After adding some D

NA to the mixture, replication occurs, but each DNA molecule consists of a normal strand paired with numerous segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long. What has the student probably left out of the mixture

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

DNA replication is an enzyme mediated, 3-step process during which the DNA molecule produces a copy of itself. The 3 steps involved are as follows;

  • initiation
  • elongation
  • termination

<em>Initiation </em>involves the unwinding of the double helix structure of the DNA using DNA helicase enzyme

<em>Elongation</em> involves binding of RNA primer to the DNA strands and addition of bases to the primer<em> </em>to elongate the new chains. Bases are added to the leading strand continuously while the lagging strand is replicated in short segments (okazaki segments).

<em>Termination</em> involves the unbinding of RNA primer and substitution of its bases by DNA bases. The Okazaki fragments are then joined together using the DNA ligase enzyme.

<em>The short, numerous segments of DNA observed in the mixture is the Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand. This is due to the absence of the enzyme involved in the joining of these fragments.</em>

Hence, the answer is DNA ligase.

An oil spill happened at the Wild Harbor salt marsh on Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1969. The oil has persisted in the ground sinc
Dima020 [189]
I would guess that the answer would be :'<span>These organisms dig more shallow burrows than they used to.</span>' If the crabs actively dig burrows, as many crab species do, and a layer of oil has persisted in the lower soil strata, it makes sense that the crabs would be reducing the depths of their burrows to avoid contact with the oil. The other possibility is that the crabs might might migrate to deeper waters, but this is less likely because the crabs would be evolved to utilise the intertidal zone.

Answer: Option A.

Fitness.

Explanation:

Fitness is the survival or reproductive rate in which a genotype or phenotype have the ability to reproduce more successfully or leave offsprings relative to other genotypes or phenotypes. It is the quantitative representation of natural or sexual selection. It is represented by w.
