A mutation results in the production of much less DNA ligase than normal. What would be a likely consequence?

Answer: DNA replication wouldstill occur, but replication of the lagging strand would take much longer than normal.

DNA ligase is the enzyme that binds the Okazaki fragments in the lagging strand. Since the mutation resulted in much less DNA ligase, there would be less of this enzymes working for the replication process. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but it will be slower.

Answer:

Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus, where DNA replication takes place. Both plant and animal cells have cell walls, which provide support for the cell. Both plant and animal cells have a large central vacuole, which stores enzymes, nutrients, and waste for the cell.

Stacey wants to know if plants have the same phototrophic reaction from artificial light as they do from natural light. Using st

joja [24]

Scientific method includes some steps that are necessary for conducting the successful experiment.

1. Make an observation

You observe the growth of the plant under the influence of light (phototropic effect) and you notice that some plants successfully grow under artificial light. You want to compare that growth with growth under the sunlight.

2. Ask a question

How does the light influence plant growth?

Are the wavelengths of the light important?

Is natural light source (sun) better for plant growth...

3. Form a hypothesis - it is a testable potential answer to the question

For example: Sunlight induces higher phototropic reaction.

4. Make a prediction

Sunlight is richer in red and blue hues which are both extremely important to plant growth.

5. Test the prediction

Design an experiment by putting one pot with beans outside on sunlight and other under the light bulb. Other conditions such as water must be the same. Monitor their growth for about 2 weeks and measure the results.

6. Analyze the data and make a conclusion.

In a step by step format, write about the process of the blood flow as it enters the heart until it leaves the heart.

dimaraw [331]

Blood enter the right atrium of the heart via the vena cava (superior and inferior)
The right atrium contracts to push the blood into the right ventricle through the triscupid valve
The contraction of the right ventricle pushes the blood through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery which carries it to the lungs to be oxygenated
After oxygenation, the pulmonary vein brings blood to the left atrium
Contraction of the left atrium pushes the blood through the mitral valve into the left ventricle
The left ventricle contracts to push the blood through the aortic valve, into the aorta, which carries the blood through the body.
