Which statement about DNA replication is FALSE?

Biology
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]4 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.

The number of horns in jackalopes follows the rules for incomplete dominance. alleles are h = 2 horns, h = 0 horns. if a jackalo
USPshnik [31]
Question is as interesting as the animal jackalope.

We ASSUME that incomplete dominance of the number of horns gives rise to 0,1 or 2 horns, where hh=>0, Hh=>1 ("blend" of 0 and 2), and HH=>2 horns.

So if HH crosses with hh, the genotype of the offspring will be Hh, i.e. phenotype Hh=> 1 horn
