The enzyme DNA ligase can be defined as the DNA joining enzyme. The DNA ligase joins smaller strands of the DNA making them into one continuous strand. The DNA ligase is responsible for the joining of the okazaki segments, and the repairs in the backbone of the DNA strands. If the levels of the DNA ligase will decrease in a person's body because of a mutation, it will be difficult to repair the DNA and join the okazaki segments and hence, the gene expression will be altered. The packaging of the DNA will be altered too, and the DNA will be present in a person's body in fragments. Hence, the DNA replication will lead to the formation of the multiple small fragments.

DNA ligase is the enzyme that repair irregularities and breaks in the back bone of double stranded DNA. The enzyme function by sealing the repair in the DNA, it seals recombination fragments and it connects okazaki fragments during replication of DNA. 
If a mutation reduce the amount of ligase, all the functions of the ligase enzyme listed above will be affected negatively.

One of the reasons for this is that our unconscious handwriting incorporates into it different mental, physical, and mechanical
Liula [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: True.

Explanation:

  • The writing of a person is controlled by an region located in the left part of frontal lobe of the brain which is known as the Broca's area.
  • Writing is a motor impulse send by the brain to the hand and fingers.
  • However, no two individual can have the same hand-writing.
  • This is because hand-writing is not only dependent on the brain to hand motor co-ordination.
  • It also depends upon the psychology, mentality, thought process, state of mind, nature of the person and also the influence of the surroundings on the person.
  • It also depends on the preference of the person to keep his writing artistic or simple or illegible.
  • All these factors can never match between two persons.
  • This is the reason, no two persons can share the exactly same hand-writing.

The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is known as:
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The correct option is B. Activation energy

Explanation:

The activation energy is usually used to designate the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur, that is, the basic requirement for the reaction to proceed.

For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy. As the molecules approach, their electron clouds are rejected. This requires energy (activation energy) and comes from the heat of the system, that, is, from translational, vibrational energy, etc of each molecule. If the energy is sufficient, the repulsion is overcome and the molecules are close enough for a rearrangement of the bonds of the molecules.

The concept of Activation energy was introduced by Arrhenius in 1889. Arrhenius suggested that molecules must prossess a minimum amount of energy to react. That energy comes from the kinetic energy of the clliding molecules. Kinetic energy serves to cause reactions, but if the molecules move very slowly, the molecules will only bounce when they collide with other molecules and the reaction does not happen. In order for the molecules to react, they must have a total kinetic energy that is equal to or greater than a certain minimum value of energy called activation energy.
