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.

Explanation:

The article, "Human Impact on the Galapagos Islands" and the video "Long Line Fishing Threatens Wildlife of the Galapagos Islands", both mentioned that fishers catch animals in the water bodies that are not their main fishing targets. Some of these animals include sea lions, sharks, sea birds, and the albatross.

In the article, it was explained that overfishing was becoming a major problem of the Galapagos Islands. Sea cucumbers and sharks were described as targets that are endangered and might soon become extinct.

In the video, sea lions, sharks, sea birds, and albatross were mentioned as targets of long line fishing which negatively affect the ecology of the Galapagos Island.
