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

svet-max [94.6K]4 years ago

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>

Most of the joints in the appendicular skeleton are __________ joints.
Semmy [17]

Most of the joints in the appendicular skeleton are synovial joints.

So, the correct option is (c).

  • A joint, sometimes referred to as an articulation, is where two or more bones come together. The names of two bones are included in each articulation.
  •  Immobile joints are ones that do not permit movement at the joint sites .These joints don't have a joint cavity; instead, dense fibrous connective tissue, typically collagen, holds the bones physically together.
  • A synovial membrane-lined joint capsule that produces synovial fluid surrounds and protects the two of them.
  • Specialized joints known as cartilaginous joints can be identified by their structural characteristics.
  • In fibrous joints, white connective tissue  fibres that travel from one articulating portion to the next separate the articulating parts.

Drag the labels onto the flowchart to indicate the sequence of events that occurs in the presynaptic cell (orange background) an
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

In chemical transmission the release of chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters occurs. Neurotransmitters carry information from the presynaptic or transmitter neuron to the postsynaptic or recipient cell.

As you may recall from the article on the structure and function of the neuron, synapses are usually formed between the nerve terminals - axon terminals - of the sending neuron and the cell body or dendrites of the receiving neuron.  

Scheme of synaptic transmission. An action potential travels through the axon of the presynaptic or emitting cell, and reaches multiple axon terminals branching from the axon. The axon terminal is adjacent to the dendrite of the postsynaptic or recipient cell. This place of close connection between axon and dendrite is the synapse.

A single axon can have multiple ramifications, which allows it to synapse with several postsynaptic cells. Similarly, a single neuron can receive miles of synaptic inputs from many different presynaptic or emitting neurons.

Within the axon terminal of a transmitter cell there are many synaptic vesicles. These are membranous spheres full of neurotransmitter molecules. There is a small space between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and the postsynaptic cell membrane, this space is called synaptic space.

Describe why populations increase and decrease.
Masja [62]

Answer:

There are three components of change: births, deaths, and migration. The change in the population from births and deaths is often combined and referred to as natural increase or natural change. Populations grow or shrink depending on if they gain people faster than they lose them.
