Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?

Biology
2 answers:
melomori [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The correct options are statement first and fourth that is -

It is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.

Leading strand in DNA is the strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction where the replication fork is moving. The movement of replication fork allows the access of template for the new DNA.

The DNA synthesis is continuous in the leading strand. It is synthesized in the 5' to 3' as DNA synthesis always takes place in this direction. This is because dNTP ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) provides free 3' OH group where new dNTP can be added by the enzyme DNA polymerase.

The correct answer is option A and D, It is synthesized toward the replication fork and It is synthesized toward the replication fork.

Reason -

A leading stand of DNA is synthesized in the direction same as that of the replication fork movement. Since the replication moves in the 5’-3’direction, the leading strand of DNA is also synthesized in the 5’-3’direction. This strand is a continuous strand and it has no breaks in it. The nucleotides are continuously added to the 3’ end of the strand.

A student draws a fence with several gate as part of a model of cellular transport explain what defence indicates represent blam
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The given question says that a student has constructed a model of cellular transport using fences and several gates.  

This model can be used to demonstrate the cellular transport.

The gates of the fences can be supposed as the protein pumps and the other fence demonstrates the lipid bilayer.  

Let’s suppose in the fence, there are many cattles, and outside, there are less cattles, but the student open the gate and bring more cattles inside the fence. In this case, the transport of the cattles is similar to the active transport of the molecules using protein pumps. At cellular level, the energy for the active transport is provided by ATP molecules.

Now, let’s say, the student wants to feed the cattles with some nutrition rich food, which can help in maintaining the health of the cattles. The student fills his car with the cattle food and he enters inside the fence through gates. In this case, the food was not present in the fence, but was abundant in the outside environment, so, the diffusion would occur. But food cannot come self, without help of others, so, the movement is facilitated by the car, as it is done by the carrier proteins. Hence, it is an example of facilitated diffusion.

Suppose that a woman had to have part of her thyroid gland surgically removed. She would most likely suffer from a condition kno
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

4. Thyroid hormone levels decrease, TRH level increase, PRL level increase

Explanation:

Surgical removal of Thyroid gland will lead to hypothyroidism.

Normally, the surgery is followed by maintenance dose of thyroxine to avoid side effects.

In the presence of hypothyroidism, however, the decreased thyroid hormone will lead to increase in thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). increased TRH increases production of prolactin. (but less than that in prolactinoma)
