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.

Which best describes the lysogenic cycle?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Lysogenic cycle is one of the two replicating cycles of the virus or bacteriophage.

In this cycle, the genetic material of the virus gets integrated with the genome of the host cell.

The integrated genetic material divides every time the host cell divides and passed on to the daughter cells with each division.

The genetic material of the virus or bacteriophage which gets integrated with the host genome is termed as a prophage.

Thus, the host cell does not get lysed and can reproduce normally.

A heterozygous, three-horned alien from Mercury has met and fallen in love with a four-horned alien from Jupiter. What would hap
Gnesinka [82]
Because the three-horned alien is heterozygous, we know that three must be dominant to four, because the gene for the three horns is "hiding" the gene for four horns. Therefore, the three-horned alien has the genotype Tt (T for three horns, and t for four horns). The four horned alien must be tt, because that is the only way that a recessive trait may be seen.  If you solve the punnet square on a cross between Tt and tt, you end up with half three (heterozygous) and half four (homozygous recessive) it is a bit easier to explain with something a little "closer to home" if you want me to explain it again, just say so, I don't mind!
