strand is completed. B. the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction. C. the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand are much shorter than the Okazaki fragments on the leading strand D. the leading strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 3’ end of the growing strand, and the lagging strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 5’ end.

The correct answer is: B. the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction.

The replication of DNA molecule or DNA synthesis is done by an enzyme- DNA polymerase that can work only in the 5' to 3' direction.

After helicase unzips the double-stranded DNA for replication, a replication fork is formed. The leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork so it can occur continuously: the primase generates short strands of RNA-primers that bind to the single-stranded DNA to initiate DNA synthesis. On the other hand, the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction comparing to the movement of replication fork and its replication is discontinuous, with short Okazaki fragments being formed and later linked together.

Most of the worlds deserts are located at latitudes where
icang [17]

Most of the worlds deserts are located at latitudes where cold, dry air moving toward the poles descends.

E) cold, dry air moving toward the poles descends.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A large portion of the world's deserts are situated almost 30 degrees north scope and 30 degrees south scope, where the warmed tropical air starts to drop.

Hot deserts are essentially found around the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. As air moves inland, it gets drained of dampness and precipitation drops. So the majority of the world's deserts are situated at scopes where cool, dry air advancing toward the shafts slides.

Describe three observations an astronaut might make while viewing Russia at night.(Site 1)
serious [3.7K]
<span>One observation would be the physical size of Russia compared to other countries, despite a lack of visible borders from space. In addition, part of Russia's outline would likely be obscured by the various clouds and objects in the stratosphere; this would allow the astronaut to view potential cloud and weather patterns on earth. Also, an astronaut could see outlines of Russia's geography such as mountain ranges.</span>

Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by the air in a particular air mass. Humidity is a measure of the water content of the air mass. Clouds are tiny drops of water or ice that form in the atmosphere. Wind is a process of movement of air that occurs due to the uneven heating of the Earth's surface.
