Answer:

D. It contains Okazaki fragments.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase only synthesizes a new DNA strand in the 5 ’→ 3’ direction. On the one hand, the new tape can be made continuously, from the outside to the inside (from the open end to the bottom of the fork), on the other side the synthesis must be done from the inside to the outside. That is why the tape made in this way is called discontinuous tape or lagging atrand.

This lagging strand is initially formed by fragments of DNA, known as Okazaki fragments. Every time a sufficiently long stretch of single stranded DNA is available, the synthesis of a new Okazaki fragment begins, from the inside of the fork to the outside.

How do naturalist explain order,design and function in the biosphere
erik [133]

Naturalists represent the idea that only natural laws (physical laws) are the rules that govern the structure and behavior of the natural universe. This means that everything can be explained in terms of natural causes. Naturalism is the belief that all that exists material matter, that there is no such thing as soul and that individuals have no purpose in life.
