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>

Why do we have so much dna?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Of the trillions of cells that compose our body, from neurons that relay signals throughout the brain to immune cells that help defend our bodies from constant external assault, almost every one contains the same 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome – the entirety of our genetic material. It is remarkable that each of the over 200 cell types in the body interprets this identical information very differently in order to perform the functions necessary to keep us alive. This demonstrates that we need to look beyond the sequence of DNA itself in order to understand how an organism and its cells function.

1. If there is not enough carbohydrate intake, how does the body form glucose?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

1.

  • Glycogenolysis(break down of glycogen to glucose molecules)
  • Gluconeogenesis(generation of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lipids)

2.

  • It can make glucose and then use that
  • Use lipids(some organs such as the brain can’t use lipids as their energy source and need glucose)

Hope this helps:))

Iron reacts with atmospheric oxygen to form iron oxide or ferric oxide. Look at the chemical equation for this reaction:
kondaur [170]

Answer:

4 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

Let's start with the oxygen.

Reactants - 2

Products - 3

What number do 2 and 3 have in common? 6.

Put a 3 in the reactants and a 2 in the products to balance the oxygen.

Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃

Now let's look at the iron.

Reactants - 1

Products - 4

Put a 4 in the reactants to balance the iron.

4 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃

The equation is balanced. Hope that helps.
