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.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

Based on the seed experiment in the Poop Lab, which seeds do you expect to sprout and grow?
-Dominant- [34]

Based on the seed experiment in the Poop Lab, the seeds that are expected to sprout are the seed in the elephant poop while the seeds in the soil are not expected to sprout.

<h3>What was the Poop Lab?</h3>

The main idea of the Poop Lab is to compare the growth of seeds that have gone through the digestive system of an animal, in this case, an elephant, to a seed that has not.

The seed that had gone through the digestive system was observed to have sprouted but the seeds in the soil did not. This experiment demonstrates the role animals such as elephants play in shaping the ecosystem through seed dispersal.

The seed that passed through the digestive system of the element and then passed out into the poop received enough nutrients for growth.

However, the seed in the soil does not receive adequate nutrients.
