Answer:

The correct answer would be DNA ligase.

DNA ligase is the enzyme which catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester in DNA molecule.

It is used in replication as well as repair of the DNA.

During replication, it helps in joining the newly formed Okazaki fragments by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bond between the sugar-phosphate backbones of the fragments.

In DNA repair, it helps in sealing the nicks formed during the repair system such as nicks formed during nucleotide excision repair.

In molecular biology, DNA ligases are now used to produce recombinant DNA.

Use the scenario to answer the question.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

fruit weight

Explanation:

In an experiment, the dependent variable is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. In other words, the dependent variable, as the name implies, is DEPENDENT on another variable called independent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured or recorded by the experimenter during the experiment.

In this case where a student is studying the effect of fertilizer on fruit growth. He uses 6 tomato plants, which were given different concentrations of fertilizer (independent variable). After the experiment, the weight of the tomato fruit were measured. This means that the FRUIT WEIGHT is the dependent or responding variable.
