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.

What is the relationship of nitrogen and grass
fredd [130]

Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on quality.

High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and the animals will be less keen to eat it.

<span> <span> </span> </span> <span> Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant. </span>

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this is often not significant.

Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.

How can organism's be so unique if the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same between organism's?​
Masja [62]

Every organism is unique, even though the nucleotides making up DNA are all the same, because the structure is different in every organism. In other words, it's just the order in which nucleotides are placed that differs each organism from one another.
