A new DNA strand elongates only in the 5' to 3' direction because A new DNA strand elongates only in the 5' to 3' direction beca

use replication must progress toward the replication fork. DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3' end. DNA polymerase begins adding nucleotides at the 5' end of the template. Okazaki fragments prevent elongation in the 3' to 5' direction.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3' end

Explanation:

DNA replication process produces the exact copy of DNA which requires various enzymes. The function of adding a nucleotide to the daughter strand is performed by the enzyme called DNA polymerase.

The DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the process of DNA replication which requires energy provided by the dNTP. The enzyme adds new nucleotides at 3'-OH end of the DNA which favour the reaction energetically.  

Thus, the new DNA strand appears to be elongated in the 5' to 3' direction.

The lineage of pea plants produced round seeds for four generations. The plants that fertilized these pea plants also produced r
adell [148]

Yes, it is possible.

In this case both of the parental plants were heterozygotes and they manifested dominant allele in their phenotype, which is round seed.

P: Aa x Aa

F5: AA, Aa, aA, aa - possible genotypes in fifth generations.

A- dominant allele (round seeds); a- recessive allele (wrinkled seeds)

Wrinkled phenotype is manifested only if there are two recessive alleles present.
