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.

Doctors are seeing an alarming increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) that is resistant to drugs commonly used to
WARRIOR [948]

Ans.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that affects mainly respiratory tract and can be transmitted from one to another person through contaminated air. The causative agent of tuberculosis, <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> has developed resistance against many antibiotics, such as rifampin and isoniazid, which is known as tuberculosis drug resistance.

If a person infected with TB shows drug resistance against some TB drugs, 'doctors should give other TB drugs to that person, even if these drugs show less effect than common drugs'. This is because these drugs can prevent or kill the bacterium more effectively than the common drugs for which, bacterium is resistance.

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
alisha [4.7K]
The first statement is correct. This is because plants transfer light (which is absorbed by chlorophyll) to chemical energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
