What 2 enzymes are used during DNA replication? describe what each does during replication

1 answer:

6 0

The two enzymes that are used during DNA replication is helicase and polymerase. Each enzyme has distinct role that made it a vital part of the replication. In the course of DNA replication, the initial stage is to unzip the double helix structure of the DNA molecule by the enzyme helicase, which breaks the hydrogen bonds that holds the complementary bases of DNA.

Moreover, the DNA polymerase has the ability to exactly copy a DNA template. This enzyme binds to the leading strand and then adding a new complementary nucleotide bases to the DNA strand. In addition, it catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the increasing DNA chain.

How many significant figures are in the measurement of 0.020 km?

natali 33 [55]

Answer: Option b) 2

Explanation:

Significant figures are the digits which play a role in defining a measurement that is they carry some meaning.

There are three essential rules to find out the significant figures in a given number:

Rule 1: Non-zero digits such are always significant.
Rule 2: The zeroes after a non-zero number in decimal are also significant. An example is if the number is 0.0500 then the zeroes after 5 are considered significant, however, the zeroes before 5 are not significant.
Rule 3: The zeroes placed between any two significant digits are also considered as significant e.g in 202 the zero is significant.
Therefore, in the number 0.020 km, there are two significant digits, one is 2 and the other is the last zero placed after 2.
