Biology

earnstyle [38]3 years ago
5 0

The main responsible for the delay among the atrial and ventricular contractions is the action potential conduction velocity of the AV node cells. If the atria and ventricles contract simultaneously, atria cannot give any help in filling the ventricles, which is needed, especially in those with stiff ventricles as in the elderly. Hence atria have to contract first and then the ventricles.

Which enzyme catalyzes the elongation of a DNA strand in the 5' → 3' direction by adding nucleotides to the end of a growing DNA
Ivan

Answer:

DNA polymerase

Explanation:

DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the reaction of adding nucleotide to growing complementary daughter strand of DNA in the direction of 5' → 3' during elongation in the process of replication. This process requires energy which is taken from nucleotides with three phosphate groups in their backbone similar to ATP (adenine triphosphate)

DNA Replication is when DNA multiplies and make exact copies of itself as part of gene transfer.
