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

Biology

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>

What is the effect of differential reproduction over time?How is the sickle-cell allele maintained through natural selection?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Differential reproduction leads to a change in allele frequencies over time. This occurs because of natural selection favoring "successful" individuals that produce more viable offspring.

The sickle-cell allele is maintained in populations exposed to malaria through balancing selection, since heterozygous individuals have protection against the disease.

How does the composition of a typical lava dome differ from that of a typical fissure eruption?
Karolina [17]
A lava dome would most likely be composed of a very viscous lava rich in silica like a rhyolite which would cause it to dome upwards and solidify quickly rather than spread out over the surface of the earth like a fissure eruption which more likely would be like a basalt much less viscous and flowing more freely.

The Schachter-Singer theory of emotion:
Contact [7]

Answer:

C. says the frontal lobes interpret the body's reaction.

Explanation:

The Schachter-Singer theory of emotion was created by Stanley Schachter and Jerome E. Singer. They were researchers and they established the theory as being a two factored one.

They noticed that for a physiological or bodily change to occur there must be an event which triggers it. The change is then interpreted by the body through the frontal lobes and emotion is then experienced.

Sergio [31]
