Which statement about DNA replication is FALSE?

Biology
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Proteins and carbohydrates have many functions in the body of an organism. Specific proteins and carbohydrates perform specific
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Both store materials needed by the organism.

Explanation:

Proteins and carbohydrates are two biomolecules present in living organisms. They perform varying functions in the body of an organism. According to this question, a specific protein (ferritin) and carbohydrate (glycogen) is described.

Ferritin is a protein molecule containing Iron (Fe). Iron is needed by living organisms as it plays a vital role in organism's metabolism. On the other hand, glycogen is a carbohydrate molecule that is made up of glucose molecules, needed by living organisms.

Based on the description of the two biomolecules provided, they are similar in their primary functions for an organism in the sense that THEY BOTH STORE MATERIALS (glucose and iron) NEEDED BY AN ORGANISM.

Explain the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics in terms of food chain, energy flow, pyramid of number and pyramid of energy
Westkost [7]

Answer:

First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.

Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.

In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).
