Question: Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?
It is synthesized toward the replication fork.
It is synthesized in the 3′ to 5′ direction.
It is synthesized away from the replication fork.
It is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.
Answer:
The two statements that are true for the leading strand in DNA are "it is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction"
Explanation:
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.
Answer: All the above options are correct about the characteristics of Lumbriculus variegatus.
Explanation:
Lumbriculus variegatus also called the black worm belongs to the phylum Annelida and is used by biologists to illustrate:
-blood vessel pulsations,
-swimming reflex,
-peristaltic crawling behavior,
-giant nerve fiber action potentials.
These studies where carried out on them due to the characteristics they possess. These includes:
-its blood circulates in a closed circulatory system
-Freshwater worm found throughout North America and Europe
-Prefers the shallow habitats found at the edges of ponds, lakes, or marshes
-Feeds on decaying vegetation and microorganisms.
This rock can be classified as:
an igneous rock.
Igneous rocks are made up of
randomly arranged interlocking crystals and the important minerals that can be
found in igneous rocks are feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles,
and mafic minerals. All of these minerals are important in the formation of
almost all igneous rocks, and they are basic to their classification.
True. Human movements are caused by the simultaneous functions of all the organ systems in the body.
