<span>We use the speed of light to calculate how far apart the stars are, and to estimate the size and age of the universe. Speed-of-light calculations are what confirmed that the universe is expanding. And because light takes a certain amount of time to get here, when we look at the stars, we're literally looking back in time, to what the universe was like millions of years ago</span>

We use the speed of light to calculate how far apart the stars are, and to estimate the size and age of the universe. Speed-of-light calculations are what confirmed that the universe is expanding. And because light takes a certain amount of time to get here, when we look at the stars, we're literally looking back in time, to what the universe was like millions of years ago: 

<span>"The speed of light is particularly important in astronomy. Due to the vast distances involved it can take a very long time for light to travel from its source to Earth. For example, it takes 13 billion years for light to travel to Earth from the faraway galaxies viewed in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field images. Those photographs, taken today, capture images of the galaxies as they appeared 13 billion years ago (near the beginning of the universe)." </span>

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3' end

Explanation:

DNA replication process produces the exact copy of DNA which requires various enzymes. The function of adding a nucleotide to the daughter strand is performed by the enzyme called DNA polymerase.

The DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the process of DNA replication which requires energy provided by the dNTP. The enzyme adds new nucleotides at 3'-OH end of the DNA which favour the reaction energetically.  

Thus, the new DNA strand appears to be elongated in the 5' to 3' direction.

how does the random alignment of homologous chromosomes contribute to genetic variation in a population
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation, the raw material for evolution.

During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are lined up at the equator plate of the cell in order to be separated (assorted) in anaphase I.

The separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I is random. Daughter cells receive unique gene combinations from an original parent cell.

Subsequently, haploid cells got from two successive meiotic divisions fuse during fecundation to form a diploid (2n) zygote.

During prophase I, non-sister chromatids interchange genetic material by a process known as recombination. This genetic process also increases genetic variation in daughter cells.

In conclusion, the assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation.
