Answer:B) progress towards the replication fork.

Explanation:

Replication fork is a point on the parental DNA where the DNA is being unwound and separated; and the separated strands are being replicated. Synthesis of a new DNA strand occurs in a 5' -> 3' direction, as the DNA strand serving as the template is read from its 3' -> 5' direction. During replication, two strands of DNA are synthesized: The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the same direction as the replication fork movement while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the direction opposite to the direction of fork movement, that is, towards the replication fork. The lagging strand is synthesized in short fragments known as Okazaki fragments.

List two examples of how cells' shapes are suited to their functions?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Red blood cell in humans - it has no nucleus. Hence it offers the cell to carry more haemoglobin.

- they are disc shaped allowing them to pass through narrow capillaries.

Root hair cells in plants- they have a large cytoplasm which enables them to take water from the soil.

White Blood Cells in humans - they have lobed nucleus and so can change their shape to pass through narrow capillaries.
