Explain why DNA replication is more complex in eukaryotes than in bacteria.

Biology

In eukaryotes, the DNA strands are linear, and DNA polymerase can't replicate the very ends of the DNA strands! These ends are "protected" by repeated sequences called "telomeres." Either the chromosome gets shorter with each replication, or else a special enzyme-nucleic acid complex called telomerase adds new telomeres to the ends. A prokaryotic chromosome is circular and thus does not have the problem of having ended. 

<span>Eukaryotic DNA is wound around histones, coiled, and supercoiled -- to replicate it, there have to be unwinding mechanisms, and mechanisms to reduce the degree of coiling. In prokaryotes, the winding problem is much less, and there aren't any histones.</span>

Why is 4 the correct answer to number fourteen ? Explain why please and answer this !!
Svet_ta [14]
It’s 4 because meiosis is the process that happens first, it is the production of sex cells which are gametes. These gametes which are egg cells and sperm cells meet during sexual inter coarse, fertilization occurs. This fertilization causes the formation of the zygote which then converts to embryo.

A young child suffers a debilitating condition that includes progressive degeneration of the motor axons that innervate the mass
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Tensor veli palatini".

Explanation:

Masseter muscle plays an important role in chewing solid foods while the tensor veli palatini acts elevating the palate and preventing that food goes into the nasopharynx. A progressive degeneration of the motor axons that innervate the masseter muscle will likely produce a similar effect in the tensor veli palatini muscle. Not only both muscles have functions during chewing of food, but also both muscles are controlled by similar motor axons.

Name the things which help in the preparation of carbohydrates in plants​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

People breathe oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, but for a plant to make carbohydrates, the leaves take in carbon dioxide through the stomata on the leaf surfaces. From the stomata, the mesophyll cells use the carbon dioxide to combine it with water and light for photosynthesis.
