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.

How does blood cells size compare to E. coli bacteria
Ronch [10]
E Coli bacterium are about 2.0 micrometers in length and .25 to 1 micrometer in diameter. In comparison, a red blood cell is about 6 to 8 micrometers in diameter and a thickness that ranges from .8 to 1 micrometer in the center to 2 to 2.5 micrometers at the thickest point.

The axial skeleton provides an extensive surface area for the attachment of muscles that __________.
garik1379 [7]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • Adjusts the positions of the head, the neck, and the trunk
  • Perform respiratory movements
  • Stabilize or position parts of the appendicular skeleton
  • All of the above

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The axial skeleton is the group of bones which forms the centre of the skeletal system. The central portion of the skeletal system includes bones of the skull, bones associated with the skull, the thorax, and the vertebral column (spinal cord).

There are 80 axial skeletal bones out of which 22 bones are present in the skull, 7 attached to the skull, 25 in a thoracic cage and 26 in the vertebral column.

The axial skeleton help maintains the position of the appendicular skeleton, maintain the posture of the body by maintaining the posture of the neck, head and trunk and also help in the respiratory movements.

Thus, all of the above is correct.

Wheat has flowers similar to those in Fig. 5.1, but reproduces by self-pollination. Explain the consequences of self-pollination
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The transfer of mature pollen grain from anther of the flower to the stigma of the same flower of the same [species  is called self pollination.

Generally, the transfer of pollen grains by wind,animals,and water  to stigmas is called pollination. It is a means of vegetative propagation which ensures reproduction.

Therefore during self pollination, the same genes are distributed  from one generation to another. Thus genetic purity is ensured. It also ensured reproductive success. because there is little chance of the pollen grain getting lost in transit. It is also certain  a particular plant would always breed true.

Additionally it prevent  the process of transfer of genes in some transgenic crops( rice, maize) where through genetic engineering some genes are introduced in their genome.

The only negative effect is lack of genetic diversity. Therefore after a period of time the plants get  weak and prone to diseases and infection. Because of poor resistant from lack of variation.
