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.

What does it mean to maintain a stable internal environment?
Anna11 [10]

Answer: It means to guide and regulate chemical and physical parameters to keep your body or environment in a constate state for proper functioning.

Explanation: This is called homeostasis. The body has systems in place to monitor its components such as cells, organs and any other molecule needed to maintain life and good health. The body needs to maintain its temperature at 37°C, pH of blood at 7.4, water balance, osmotic pressure, growth rate and tissue repairs whenever it dictates the need, danger of infection or injury.

All of these form an integral part of a healthy living organism and it needs to always be stable, regulated and monitored. This is called maintaining homeostasis.

What effect does plate tectonics have in organic evolution???
Rama09 [41]
It affects organic evolution because it may tend to shift land masses and as a result, it would change the climate of the area as well. The adaptations animals may have, in the past, had changed to a hot/cold climate and might no longer be needed and the animals will need to evolve further in order to survive successfully.

Hope I helped! :)
