Answer:

The enzyme Topoisomerase functions to prevent super-coiling of the  DNA molecule during replication.

Explanation:

  • During replication, topoisomerases are required to relieve the positive supercoiling that arises from DNA unwiding mediated by Helicases.
  • A DNA topoisomerase is a nuclease that breaks a phosphodiester bond in a DNA strand.
  • All topoiomereases are classified as  Topoisomerase I and Topoisomerase II  depending on whether they cleave one or two strands respectively.
  • Topoisomerase I do not use ATP as a source of energy, the reaction is powered by energy stored in super-coiled DNA.
  • Topoisomerase II also do not require external energy but it utilizes ATP hydrolysis to drive conformation changes in the protein during reaction cycle.

Give an example (except for a plant responding to light) of an organism's response to a stimulus.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

plants For example, phototropism is the plant's response to stimulus, i.e. sunlight. A plant hormone “auxin” keeps the plant's direction towards the sun by activating the growth in a particular part of a stem. Similarly, gravitropism in plants responds to the stimulus, i.e. gravity

Assessing aggregate exposure to a series of compounds with the same biological mechanism is called ________ exposure assessment
stira [4]

Assessing aggregate exposure to a series of compounds with the same biological mechanism is called cumulative exposure assessment.

<h3>What is cumulative exposure?</h3>

Because cumulative exposure evaluations evaluate exposure to numerous stressors via different pathways, they are referred to as "combined exposure assessments." Exposures to a single stressor are estimated using aggregate evaluations from different sources and pathways.

Cumulative evaluations portray real-world exposure more accurately, but they also provide an element of complexity not seen in typical exposure assessments , which evaluate stressors separately.
