Answer:

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules. Having the atomic number 6, every carbon atom has a total of six electrons.

Which molecule is active during the last step of DNA replication?
stepan [7]

Correct answer: Option D- DNA ligase

Explanation: In option A, thymine is a nucleotide, so it is present throughout the replication process, wherever it is required. It is added to the newly formed DNA. In option B, Helicase enzyme is active during initiation and elongation stage, as it facilitates the opening of the winded DNA strands. Option C is nucleotidase and it has no role in DNA replication. So, the correct answer is DNA ligase, which is option D.

The okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication are sealed at the end. And in this step, DNA ligase is used. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides of okazaki fragments. So it is the last active molecule of the process.

Paraphin [41]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The priority list will be like this

  1. Fruit Trees
  2. Birds
  3. Monkeys
  4. Tigers
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In an ecosystem, producers are the first level of the food chain. And we know that plants are producers because they produce their own food. So, fruit trees will be at the beginning of the food chain. After producers comes the primary consumers. Primary consumers are animals that feed on producers. Both birds and monkeys feed on fruit trees, so they are the next in line after fruit trees. Finally, secondary consumers eat primary consumers. As tigers eat animals i.e monkeys etc so they are secondary consumers, and thus they are last on the food chain list.
