RNA primers in Okazaki fragments are usually very short, less than 10 nucleotides and sometimes as short at 2 nucleotides in len

gth. What does this fact tell you about theprocessivityof the primase enzyme—that is, the relative ability of the enzyme to continue polymerization as opposed to dissociating from the template and from the molecule being synthesized? Which enzyme is likely to have a greater processivity, primase or DNA polymerase III?

Answer:

During DNA replication each parental DNA strand serves as a template to a new complementary strand. DNA polymerase is the main enzyme responsible for this process, it catalyzes the addition of nucleotides to form the new DNA chain.  

The complementary nature of the DNA strands, presents a difficulty for DNA replication: DNA polymerase catalyzes the polymerization of DNA only in the 5’ to3’ -in the leading DNA strand. Thus, the opposite DNA strand, the lagging strand, faced an obstacle that is solved by the Okazaki small fragments. The primase enzyme synthesizes small RNA fragments complementary to the lagging DNA strand. These RNA fragments serve as primers for the DNA polymerase. To remove this RNA primers and form a continuous complementary lagging strand, RNase H and DNAse ligase will further cut and join the DNA again.  

DNA polymerase has a higher processivity than primase, if processivity is the average number of nucleotides that it is capable to continuously add to the template strand. Primase dissociates from the template often during DNA replication as it has to constantly add new RNA primers to the strand.

This organism is multicellular and has a cell wall but no chloroplasts. The organism gets the energy it needs by decomposing org
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

This organism belongs to Kingdom Fungi.

Explanation:

  • Fungi are heterotrophic, spore bearing Eukaryotes.
  • Most of the fungi are multicellular.
  • Their cells have a cell wall mainly  composed of Glucagon and chitin.
  • These are saprotrophic and lack a chloroplasts.
  • They store food as glycogen which is similar to storage product in animals.
  • The Kingdom fungi is divided into four major division on the basis of sexual reproduction ; chydridomycota, zygomycota, ascomycota and basidiomycota.
  • Many fungi show no sexual stage and are grouped as imperfect fungi or deuteromycetes.
  • The study of fungi is called Mycology.
