Answer:

C. DNA ligase adds nucleotides to the lagging strand

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process during cell division in which DNA copies itself. DNA strands unwind with the help of helicase to initiate the process. DNA Polymerase III is responsible for prokaryotic replication and adds nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction. Since both the strands of DNA run in opposite direction their replication is slightly different. The lagging strand is also formed by DNA Polymerase III in discontinuous manner leading to formation of Okazaki fragments. DNA ligase joins these fragments once the replication process is completed.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>B. Cholesterol is non-polar.</em>

Explanation:

Cholesterol is a non- polar substance and due to this property it is an active part of the cell membrane. Cholesterol molecules help to maintain the stability of a cell. When the temperatures are high, cholesterol stops the cell membrane from crystallization. When the temperatures are low, cholesterol reduces the packaging of molecules of phospholipids. As a result, fluid phase is archived by the cell membrane.

Anastasy [175]

Answer: No

Explanation: Since when a child is born it has DNA from both. As an example, the mom has brown hair, father has blonde hair, the child would take the DNA for the type of hair they get, either blonde or brown. So since its blood, the fathers is A, and the boy's is B, therefore it didn't take any of their DNA's so nope, he isn't the father.
