Answer:

D. Prokaryotic DNA polymerase cannot initiate synthesis of new DNA strands.

Explanation:

DNA polymerases from both prokaryotes and eukaryotes can not start the process of synthesis of new DNA strand "de novo".  DNA polymerases are the enzymes of elongation of existing RNA or DNA primer only.

This is due to the fact that DNA polymerases from both prokaryotes and eukaryotes add a new nucleotide to the free 3'-OH of the existing strand of RNA or DNA.

So, all the DNA polymerases require a short DNA or RNA strand. This short nucleotide strand is called a primer. Most RNA primers are used by DNA polymerases during the process of DNA replication.

How does smoking make an individual more susceptible to infections?
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The active smokers and those getting exposed, that is, passive smokers are at enhanced threat of bacterial infections. Getting exposed to tobacco smoke enhances vulnerability to respiratory tract infections, comprising pneumonia, tuberculosis, and Legionnaires disease.  

Smoking compromises the anti-bacterial activities of leukocytes incorporating monocytes, neutrophils, B cells, and T cells, thus, demonstrating the mechanism for enhanced risk of infections.

What does an enzyme’s structure have to do with a catalytic activity?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. The intra and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary structures are disrupted by changes in temperature and pH. This affects shapes and so the catalytic activity of an enzyme is pH and temperature sensitive.

Astronomers use __________ to remotely identify the ________ of an object by the unique pattern of lines in its spectrum.
Aliun [14]

Answer:Spectroscopy helps astronomers to determine the composition, temperature, density, and motion of an object.

Infrared spectroscopy helps to identify the atoms and molecules in the object.

The red shift or blue shift (Doppler Effect) in a spectral line tells how fast the object is receding from Earth or coming toward it.

The Doppler shift enables astronomers to discover extrasolar planets.

As a planet orbits its star, the star is alternately moving away from or toward us.

Astronomers can use the Doppler shifts to calculate the speed of the star and the mass of the planet that is tugging on it.
