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>

Changes in wind strength during an El Niño affect surface currents, which affects weather patterns. In 3–5 sentences, explain wh
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

El Niño is defined as an unusual weather pattern seen in the Pacific Ocean. In this weather unusual winds allows the surface water to get warm from the equator to move east, that is toward Central and South America.

So, El Niño affects wind shear, in which air current present in lower altitude moves to different direction from winds higher in the atmosphere and affects weather patterns. such as El Niño is responsble for more rain in South and Central America and in the United States.
