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

Biology

melomori [17]3 years ago

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.

gregori [183]

Answer: The answer is B- Diffusion of calcium ions through NMDA receptors.

Explanation:

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a painful sensation experienced after the loss or amputation of a limb. The limb is no longer there but the individual can still feel real and severe pains in the limb. This occurs soon after surgery.

NMDA is a receptor for Glutamate which is an excitatory neurotransmitter. The activation of NMDA receptors are associated with hyperalgesia which is an abnormally heightened sensitivity to pain.
