Unlike freshwater fish, saltwater fish

Biology
1 answer:
Olin [163]3 years ago
7 0


The best answer is A

Saltwater fish are hypotonic to their surroundings. This means their blood has a higher water concentration than the surrounding sea water.

Due to the fact that there is more salt and less water outside their bodies, there is a tendency to take in salt and lose water.

To counter this, salt water fish drink a lot of the sea water and urinate very little. Special cells in the gills actively eliminate salt at the cost of extra energy and these fishes do not absorb any salt from the water they drink.

The processivity of a DNA polymerase depends on all of the following actions, EXCEPT for __________.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Processivity of DNA polymerase may be defined as the number of nucleotides added in the single binding event. The synthesis phase of cell cycle is fully dependent on the processivity of DNA polymerase.

The processivity of DNA polymerase depends on the sliding clamp, domains of the DNA and the interaction of DNA with enzyme. Loss of hydrogen ion at 3'OH primer does not affect processivity but important for the nucleophile attack and also effect the catalytic property of enzyme.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
