<span>The bottleneck effect is the cause of the sudden shift in the genetic information of the population. Due to the landslide, suddenly high number of the members of the main population died, and this caused genetic drift for reducing the variation in the existing generation, which is now widely different from the original one.</span><span />

During DNA replication, an open section of DNA, in which a DNA polymerase can replicate DNA, is called a replication fork. 2. Ok
Fiesta28 [93]

The question has been answered itself but the answer will contain the detail explanation.

Answer:

1. The replication fork formation during DNA replication is important for the continuity and the addition of the further base pair on the template. The DNA initiation process starts by the formation of replication fork.

2. The okazaki fragments are the short DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging strand. These fragments are later joined by the enzyme DNA ligase.

3. Leading strand is the continuous strand that formed during the DNA replication. The direction of the leading strand is 5' to 3' .

4. DNA polymerase is the main replicating enzyme during the DNA replication process. Different types of DNA polymerase with multiple subunits are present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

5. The new DNA that are formed from the parental strand and complementary with each other are called daughter DNA.

Just by looking at the color of a freshly drawn blood sample, how could you distinguish between blood that is well oxygenated an
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of blood that flows through our bodies: oxygenated and deoxygenated. Oxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the left side of the atrium in the heart. As its name tells us, is the one that is highly with oxygen and low in carbon dioxide. Normally a sample of an oxygenated blood will be very bright in red due to the amount of blood cells in it. Deoxygenated blood is the one that is pumped in the right side of the atrium in the heart. This blood is the one that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. It is also known as the venous blood. Normally a sample of a deoxygenated blood will be darker almost going on blue.
