Answer:

Explanation:

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that helps in the synthesis of new strands of DNA. It is found in both prokaryote and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, there are 3 types of DNA polymerase and more DNA polymerase found in eukaryotes.  

The 3 types of DNA polymerase are DNA polymerase I, DNA polymerase II, DNA polymerase III.  The DNA pol I and DNA pol II helps in DNA repair rather than DNA replication. The DNA pol III is the major enzyme that initiates the replication.  

DNA polymerase III is a multisubunit enzyme that functions as a dimer of these multiple subunits. The DNA polymerase enzyme has 3 significant enzymatic activities -  

All DNA polymerase direct the synthesis of DNA from 3' to 5' end.

It possesses 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. It also helps in proofreading activity by replacing the incorrect nucleotides with the correct base sequence.  

Some DNA polymerase has a 5' to 3' exonuclease activity. It is found in the lagging strand.

DNA polymerase is not able to initiate DNA synthesis alone. They need a free 3' end, where the enzyme can add new nucleotides. It means they require 2 primers to initiate the DNA replication in both the direction.  

The strands act as complementary to the DNA polymerase. The DNA polymerase adds new strands continuously in 5' to 3' direction in the leading strand. While in lagging strand short fragments of DNA formed. Later they attached by DNA ligase.

DNA polymerase also needs RNA polymerase in some cases to start replication. Such a process is called reverse transcription.

How is polyploidy defined<br>​
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Polyploidy is the state of a cell or organism having more than two paired (homologous) sets of chromosomes. Most species whose cells have nuclei (eukaryotes) are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes—one set inherited from each parent. Hence ploidy is defined with respect to a cell.

Which convection cell in the atmosphere lies to the north of the polar jet stream
zepelin [54]

The correct answer is polar cell.

Polar cell is termed as the transport of heat to polar latitudes from tropical to be accomplished.

Examples of cells which are found in the hemisphere include ferrel cells, polar cells, and Hadley cells.

Convection cell is termed as a phenomenon which is known to occur when there is a difference of density in the body of gas or liquid.

The difference occurs when there is rising and falling of currents. Any fluid from conventional cell can be formed. For example in the earth atmosphere.

How should trash and recyclables be stored?
m_a_m_a [10]

Trash and recyclables should be stored in <u><em>double bagged & stacked in a well ventilated space</em></u><em>.</em>

<em />

<em />

The modern world is an era where recycling of waste product are giving high priority because

  • Its favors the climate
  • Its serves as raw materials to reproduce useful materials
  • Provides employment stability

Therefore, recyclables such as bottles, takeaways should be stored and double-bagged to prevent leakage in the premises and should be placed in a ventilated space to prevent circulation of offensive odor.
