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>

If a true-breeding blue-flowered plant was crossed with a true-breeding white-flowered plant, what phenotypic ratio would we obs
Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. 100 percent white

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of dominance, the dominant allele of a gene masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous state. Therefore, when two pure breeding plants that differ with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, the progeny expresses only the dominant phenotype. Here, one allele should be completely dominant over the other. The allele for the white flowers is completely dominant over the allele for the blue flowers.

Let' assume that the allele "W" imparts white color to the flowers while the allele "w" gives blue color. When a true-breeding blue-flowered plant (ww) is crossed with a true-breeding white-flowered plant (WW), the progeny would be heterozygous for the dominant allele "W" and would exhibit "white color of flowers" (the dominant trait).

WW (white-flowered plant) x ww (blue-flowered plant) = Ww (white-flowered plant)
