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

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>

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

<h2>c. Division of these two groups occurred after the protostome developmental sequence appeared. </h2>

Explanation:

  • Protosomes are such types of organisms in which the mouth part developed first during embryonic development.
  • Those animals in which anus develop first are known as deuterostomes.
  •  This differentiation takes place during the embryonic development of the organisms.
  • Since lophotrochozoan and Ecdysozoa both are protostomes animals and categorized on the basis of molecular evidence.
  • Thus these two groups were formed after the appearance of the protostomes.

Debora [2.8K]

The correct answer would be option D, that is, fertilization during the study.  

The experimental error refers to the dissimilarity between a measurement and the true value or between the two measured values. Experimental error is determined by its accuracy and precision.  

A variation in data, or error, basically signifies whatever results in the data to be imperfect, not the human mistakes. In order to correct this, there is a need to get familiar with the unavoidable sources of error and how they take place so that one can reduce their effect and get the best probable data.
