Answer: The correct answer is- B) Okazaki fragments are made on the lagging strand but not on the leading strand.

DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called DNA polymerase.

The strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. DNA is synthesised in 5' to 3' direction.

Leading strand ( whose template strand is 3' to 5') is synthesized in continuous manner as DNA polymerase moves along the direction of replication folk.

Whereas lagging strand ( whose template strand is 5' to 3') is synthesized in a discontinuous manner as it requires multiple primers to synthesise the DNA. It generates small fragments of DNA called okazaki fragments.

labwork [276]
Convection cell in the sun's rays are the ones that carry energy to travel within its surface and outside.

There are three types of heat transfer or heat propagation; conduction, convection and radiation. Heat transfer is the process by which heat projects externally however, depending on the temperature and pressure. Also called the movement of heat from a low temperatured state which increases as heat progresses.
Conduction is the heat transfer by contact, immediate contact.
Convection is the transfer of heat through air and water.
<span>Radiation is the transfer of heat regardless of the presence of atoms or particles. </span>

Explain three cause and effect relationships between the human activities and the measurable changes in the Earth system represe
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Humans are gradually altering the climate and the earth's temperature through burning fossil fuels, destroying forests, and rearing animals.

Explanation:

This significantly increases the amount of greenhouse gases already present in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.

Climate change is mostly caused by the greenhouse effect. Some gases in the Earth's atmosphere act as greenhouse glass, trapping heat from the sun and preventing it from escaping into space, causing global warming.

Hope it helps;
