The discontinuous aspect of replication of DNA in vivo is caused by ________.

Biology
1 answer:
pychu [463]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The 5' and 3' polarity restriction

Explanation:

Discontinuous replication is when synthesis of new DNA molecule takes place as a series of short fragments that will subsequently be joined together.

These fragments are called the Okazaki fragments.

DNA synthesis takes place from 3' to 5' end. However due to 5' and 3' polarity. The replication has to be discontinuous due to the synthesis happening backwards and okazaki fragments being formed.

marin [14]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>B. Crossing- over </em>

Explanation:

In biology, crossing over can be described as a phenomenon by which homologous chromosomes exchange segments during the process of meiosis.

The unexpected results came because the DNA segment between the homologous chromosomes was exchanged during meiosis. The alleles got shuffled by this process and hence showed the unexpected results.

Crossing over and independent assortment are phenomenon which occurs only during the process of meiosis. These phenomenons cannot be observed during mitosis.

Complete the following sentence: "When ionic compounds dissociate in water, each ion is surrounded by a sphere of hydration: ___
Archy [21]

Answer:

Cations, Oxygen, Anions, Hydrogen

Explanation:

Water molecule is polar (meaning it has dipoles). The oxygen having a higher atomic mass attracts most of the electron cloud of the molecule becoming partially negatively charged and leaving the hydrogen end to be partially positive.

An Ionic compound is one between two atoms where one donates its electrons to the other for both to achieve stable configuration. The two atoms, therefore, become charged and are bought together by electrostatic forces.

When an ionic compound is put in water, it dissociates into its ions (anions and cations) They attract and repel with the polar water molecules depending on their charges. The anions (negatively charged ion) are surrounded by water molecules with the hydrogen ends and the cations are surrounded by water molecules with the oxygen ends.

The disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene which affects the respiratory, endocrine, reproductive
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: DF508 mutation. A Genetic, Hereditary, Autosomal and Recessive Mutation.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal lethal disease, it is most common on Caucasoid populations. Its diagnosis is suggested by the clinical features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persistent pulmonary colonization (particularly with mucoid Pseudomonas strains), meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency with or familiarity history of the disease. The FC gene is large, with about 250 Kb of genomic DNA, 27 exons representing about 5% of genomic DNA; encodes a 6.5 kb transcribed mRNA. This mRNA is transcribed into a protein of 1480 amino acid called CFTR (Regulator Transmembrane Conductance Cystic Fibrosis). When a three-base pair deletion, adenosine-thymine-thymine (ATT) identified in the CFTR gene, exon 10, it results in the loss of a single amino acid phenylalanine at position 508 of the protein. This mutation is called DF508; “D” stands for deletion and “F” for phenylalanine amino acid.
