Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Replication is a complex process which makes copies or replicates the DNA in every organism present on the Earth.  Replication is an ATP dependent process which is catalysed by several enzymes including DNA helicase, polymerase, primase.

During replication, the two strands are synthesized from parent strand in which the strand which is synthesized in 5' to 3' direction is known as the leading strand which is continuous whereas another strand synthesized in 3' to 5' direction is known as lagging strand as it is produced in the lags.

Since in the leading strand DNA polymerase adds nucleotides at 3' end, therefore, it requires only one RNA primer which assists DNA polymerase to proceed the reaction whereas in the lagging strand since the strands are synthesized in the lags so possess many RNA primers so that DNA polymerase can bind.

Thus, option-C is the correct answer.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

You are studying a population of ground squirrels. You trap 100 individuals and find 9 that have a light colored coat and the rest have a dark coat. You know that light coat color is recessive in ground squirrels. What is the allele frequency for the light coat allele  and the dark coat allele? How many of the dark coated individuals do you expect to be heterozygotes at the coat color gene? Assume the population is at H-W equilibrium.

Answer: Allele frequency for light coat: q = 0.3;

              Allele frequency for dark coat: p = 0.7;

             There will be 42 heterozygote;

Explanation: A population in H-W equilibrium is a population which doesn't change from one generation to the next if there are no disturbing factors, as migration or mutation.

It follows the equation: p^{2}+2pq+q^{2}=1.

p represents the frequency of the dominant allele;

q represents the frequency of the recessive allele;

2pq represents heterozygote individuals;

The sum of frequencies of both alleles must be 1, i.e.: p+q=1

For the population of squirrels:

  • Frequency of recessive allele

q^{2} = \frac{9}{100}

q = \sqrt{\frac{9}{100}}

q = 0.3

  • Frequency of dominant allele

p+q=1

p=1-q

p=1-0.3

p = 0.7

  • Frequency of heterozygote

2pq = 2*0.7*0.3 = 0.42

In a population of 100 individuals: 0.42*100 = 42

The allele frequency for the light coat is 0.3; for the dark coat is 0.7.

It is expected to have 42 heterozygote individuals in this population.

Liquid media is_______
Contact [7]

Answer:

Liquid media are a type of culture media used to cultivate and maintain microorganisms. They are also referred to as culture broths. Liquid media are not supplemented with a solidifying agent. Hence, these media remain as liquids even at room temperature.

How is the types of venation in a plant related to the types of root it has and the number of cotyledons in its seeds?​
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

dicotyledonous

Explanation:

The veinlets form a network in the leaf lamina that is why the type of venation reticulate meaning network. So all dicots have dicotyledonous seeds, a tap root system and leaves with reticulate venation. ( with some exceptions of dicots having parallel venation in leaves like Calophyllum)
