Answer:

B) Polymerases can only synthesize in the 5' to 3' direction

Explanation:

The leading strand's directionality is 3' to 5', so polymerase has no problem with replicating this one. But the lagging strand has the opposite directionality, so the polymerase must work in the opposite direction of the replication fork.In consequence, the replication process undergoes periodic breaks, and the enzymes have to stop and start again while helicase separates both strands, resulting in the polymerization of okazaki fragments.

Smooth stem plants like guava, eucalyptus etc do have a smooth layer of bark over its stem that comes out as a skin when they shed their barks. Whereas most of the other plants like mango, banyan etc do have a rough corrugated layer of bark over their stem.

The smooth stem doesn’t let water to accumulate in the bark which can led to infections to the tree. It also doesn’t allow any seed to settle on bark that can led to growth of parasites. Thereby this smooth bark saves the trees from some of the probable harm to the tree.
