In eukaryotes, the DNA strands are linear, and DNA polymerase can't replicate the very ends of the DNA strands! These ends are "protected" by repeated sequences called "telomeres." Either the chromosome gets shorter with each replication, or else a special enzyme-nucleic acid complex called telomerase adds new telomeres to the ends. A prokaryotic chromosome is circular and thus does not have the problem of having ended.
<span>Eukaryotic DNA is wound around histones, coiled, and supercoiled -- to replicate it, there have to be unwinding mechanisms, and mechanisms to reduce the degree of coiling. In prokaryotes, the winding problem is much less, and there aren't any histones.</span>
Answer:
Transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring is termed vertical gene transfer. Lateral movement, or movement of genetic information from a donor to an unrelated recipient, is called horizontal gene transfer.

( happy to help) :)
I believe the primary determinant of basal metabolic rate is the Lean Body Mass. Basal metabolic is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by animals at rest. It comprises the processes that the body requires to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person need to keep the body operational at a state of rest.
<h2>
<u>STATEMENTS</u></h2>
The correct statement among the given answers is letter <u>d. an object in motion will remain in motion.</u>
<h2>
<u>WHY? </u></h2>
In reality, object that is in motion (like a ball) will remain in motion unless it's stopped by something (a wall or any force).
This is stated in the first law of motion by Sir Isaac Newton -- an object in motion will remain in motion unless an outside force acted upon the object.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
It is true as in Mendel's law of inheritance
