Correct answer: Option D- DNA ligase

Explanation: In option A, thymine is a nucleotide, so it is present throughout the replication process, wherever it is required. It is added to the newly formed DNA. In option B, Helicase enzyme is active during initiation and elongation stage, as it facilitates the opening of the winded DNA strands. Option C is nucleotidase and it has no role in DNA replication. So, the correct answer is DNA ligase, which is option D.

The okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication are sealed at the end. And in this step, DNA ligase is used. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides of okazaki fragments. So it is the last active molecule of the process.

The primary difference between what qualifies as serial murders and what qualifies as mass murders is the selection of victims.

I believe the appropriate answer is a cooling-off period. The cooling off period us described as the state of returning to the offender's usual way of life between homicides. The key distinction between the serial killers and mass or spree killers is this emotional cooling off period in which the killer blends back into his/her normal life.

Define the word (Binomial name)

Triss [41]

El sistema de nomenclatura binominal identifica a una especie inequívocamente, pues no puede haber dos especies diferentes con el mismo nombre y evita la pluralidad de nombres comunes con el que se la pueda conocer según el idioma o región, que además pueden nombrar a más de un taxón diferente.
