Answer:

b. During replication there is both a leading strand and a lagging strand .

c. Each replication bubble has two replication forks.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication to replicate the long chromosomes at a higher rate.

The two DNA strands have opposite polarity, that is, 5' end of the one DNA strand is present opposite to the 3' end of the other DNA strand. DNA replication occurs only in 5' to 3' direction and the direction of the movement of the replication fork is also 5' to 3' direction.

To allow the DNA replication in 5' to 3' direction on both strands, one strand is replicated discontinuously in the direction opposite to the movement of the replication fork.

The discontinuously replicated strand is lagging strand while the other one is the leading strand.

DNA replication in eukaryotes occurs bidirectionally as two replication forks are formed at each replication bubble, one at each end of the replication bubble.

The presence of multiple origins of replication and the bidirectional process allows the replication of large eukaryotic DNA at a considerable fast speed.

The lowest trophic level in an ecosystem____. 1) has the lowest quantity of stored energy 2) has the greatest biomass 3) is made

DochEvi [55]

In describing the energy transfer of trophic levels, energy is lost as we move up from a lower level to a higher level. This is because energy is used when for example a primary consumer does body processes before it is eaten by another consumer. hence the lowest trophic level belongs to those which 2) has the greatest biomass

Explain how chemiosmosis functions in the cell. Discuss the energy transfers and explain the role of ATP in this process.

Lyrx [107]

The energy for ATP synthesis comes from organic molecules (such as carbohydrates), or from sunlight, or from inorganic electron donors. We can classify organisms according to their source of energy and organic carbon:

heterotrophs – get energy and organic carbon from metabolism of pre-existing organic compounds (food)photoautotrophs – use energy from sunlight to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide chemoautotrophs – use energy from inorganic chemicals to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide

Metabolic pathways carry out reactions that capture energy from these various sources (organic compounds, sunlight or chemicals) and couple them to synthesis of ATP from ADP.

Explain why the north American cactus and African euphoria species have evolved such similar adaptations

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Answer is clearly explained in explanation.

Explanation:

In evolutionary biology, the convergent evolution is the process by which organisms from different evolutionary lines independently develop similar adaptations or features in response to similar environmental conditions. North American cacti and African euphoria are clear examples of this concept. Both types of plants have developed thick, juicy stems that are ideal for storing water and protecting thorns, and both are well suited to deal with the rain scarcity and dry climate of the desert regions. The two plant species belong to different plant families and are distant relatives in the phylogeny of flowering plants; However, their common characteristics indicate that they are the product of a converging evolution. The convergent development has enabled the two species of plants to develop similar adaptations to facilitate their survival in the hot and dry desert environment in which they live.

Timothy is in his 60s. he has suffered from a psychotic disorder his entire life but the symptoms of the disorder have lessened

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Timothy most likely suffered from schizophrenia. The symptoms of psychotic disorder correlate with the symptoms of schizophrenia. Clinical psychology helps with treatment through talking while neurologist treat through brain surgeries.
