Why is primase required for replication?

Biology
1 answer:
nasty-shy [4]4 years ago
4 0

Primase is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Primase synthesizes the short RNA molecules, or primers, that provide a 3'–OH to which DNA polymerase can attach deoxyribonucleotides in replication initiation. The DNA polymerases require a 3'–OH to which they add nucleotides, and therefore they cannot initiate replication.

Write an argument to defend whether tomato plant or spinach offspring would be more genetically diverse. Remember that the tomat
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

spinach plants will be more genetically diverse than tomato plants because sexual reproduction generates more genetic diversity than asexual reproduction

Explanation:

In nature, there are two basic mechanisms of reproduction: sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Genetic variation can be generated by the following mechanisms: mutations, random fertilization, recombination (i.e., crossing over), and the independent assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Sexual reproduction involves two parents, thereby new genetic variation can be generated in the offspring through all these mechanisms: new mutations, genetic recombination (which generates new alleles within an organism's offspring), random fertilization, and the random (independent) assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis (these last two mechanisms can potentially generate new genetic combinations in the offspring). Moreover, asexual reproduction involves a single parent, and thereby in this case genetic variation can be only generated by mutations that are passed on to offspring.
