<span>During DNA synthesis the DNA is unwound but only a portion at a time, the replication fork progresses in the 5'-->3' direction, and both strands are synthesized at the same time. When the fork progresses, the 3'-->5' strand will need a new primer because it was working in the opposite direction of the fork. So the answer is because "DNA polymerase can assemble DNA only in the 5' to 3' direction".</span>

How might green spaces help reduce the negative impact that humans have on Earth’s water supply?
hoa [83]

It would give nature a place to fight back, and become more healthy, and less hindered.

When it rains over a city, the water goes into gutters, and becomes more polluted.

Why all vertebrae are bones but all bones are not vertebrae?
GREYUIT [131]
Well, to know the answer to this question, you must know the meaning of vertebrae. Vertebrae are just a connections of bones that make up your backbone. These include about 24 ligaments that make up your spine. So all vertebrae are bones since they are ligaments and other bones that make up, well, your backbone! However, not all bones are vertebrae, because your finger bones, ribs, skull, and other bones in your body aren't part of your backbone.

Hope this helps!
