Answer:DNA is antiparallel.

Explanation: DNA is a double stranded helix in which the two strands are antiparallel. Being antiparallel means that as one strand runs from 5'->3' direction, the other strand runs from 3'->5' direction. During DNA each of the two strands serves as a template for a new complementary strand. The synthesis of a new DNA strand is always in the 5'->3' direction, therefore one strand is synthesized continuously in the direction of the replication fork while the other strand is synthesized discontinuously in the direction opposite to the replication fork in short fragments called the Okazaki fragments. The strand that is synthesized continuously is called the leading strand while the strand that is synthesized discontinuously in Okazaki fragments is called the lagging strand.

A mutation in a gene that controls mitosis in cells may cause? a) cancer. b) cystic fibrosis. c) albinism. d) meiosis.
harkovskaia [24]
The answer is <span>a) cancer.

</span><span>Cells must control mitosis (cell division) in order to maintain normal cell function. If something happens to the control of mitosis, the healthy cells will divide uncontrollably. These new cells are cancer cells and they are also out of control. They will continue to divide uncontrollably, so the mass of the cancer cells will grow.
</span>Regarding other choices:
- cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder of lungs and digestive system,
- albinism is a congenital disorder characterised by the absence of pigment in the skin and hair,
- meiosis is cell division resulting in the reduction of a chromosome number in half.
