Why is the new dna strand complementary to the 3' to 5' strands assembled in short segments? why is the new dna strand complemen

tary to the 3' to 5' strands assembled in short segments? only short dna sequences can extend off the rna primers the replication forks block the formation of longer strands dna polymerase can assemble dna only in the 5' to 3' direction dna polymerase can assemble dna only in the 3' to 5' direction it is more efficient than assembling complete new strands?

<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>

What are the factors that contributed to the success of pteridophyte as land plant
Anna35 [415]

Two factors contributed to the success of the pteridophytes: the extreme miniaturization of the gametophytic generation and an important development of the sporophytic generation (development of the tree forms).

Pteridophytes are a group of plants that peaked in the Carboniferous (-300 million years). It is the first great terrestrial plant civilization. These plants would have appeared in the Devonian -400 million years ago, perhaps from certain primitive terrestrial plants which, unlike bryophytes, would have favored the diploid generation on the haploid generation.

Particularly well adapted to terrestrial life, they have created, thanks to the development of tree forms, immense forests whose fossilization is at the origin of coal deposits.

Pteridophytes are at the origin of an evolutionary lineage based on the extreme miniaturization of gametophytic generation and an important development of sporophytic generation, leading to all tracheophytes including current flowering plants. Pteridophytes are well adapted to terrestrial life, however fertilization still requires the presence of water since male gametes are swimmers.
