Each replication fork requires both leading and lagging strand synthesis. Why?

Biology

svet-max [94.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary strand.

Explanation:

This is known as semiconservative DNA replication. Leading and lagging strands are complementary, antiparallel strands (one is 3'-5' while other is 5'-3- direction) which are replicated differently. The leading strand is replicated  continuously while the lagging strand is replicated in fragments-Okazaki fragments. Replication of both strands is performed by DNA polymerase.

the diagram below represents levels of glucose and insulin found within the bloodstream of a healthy person
Makovka662 [10]
The increase in insulin level following an increase in glucose level in the blood can best be explained by A FEED BACK MECHANISM THAT REGULATE THE BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL.
Insulin is an hormone that is secreted by the pancreas and it functions by regulating the amount of glucose that is found in the blood. When the level of glucose in the blood is higher than normal, insulin interfere by converting the excess glucose into glycogen. The glycogen is stored in the liver and in the skeletal muscles and they will only be converted back into glucose, if the level of glucose in the blood is lower than normal.

<h2>Duplicated Chromosome </h2>

Explanation:

  • <em>Chromatid, D-loop is right answer</em>
  • A duplicated chromosome contains two represented <em>double strand DNA particles,</em> the chromatids, that are joined at their centromere
  • <em>A haploid cell stays in reality n after replication, however duplicates from c to 2c</em>
  • <em> Each chromosome connected  of two chromatids </em>
  • <em>The two chromatids</em>, each containing an identical DNA molecule are at first appended along their lengths by protein buildings called <em>cohesion</em>.<em>this connection is known as sister chromatid cohesion.</em>

What type of cells do you find homologous chromosomes?
Luba_88 [7]

"Human cells that contain one set of 23 chromosomes are called gametes, or sex cells; these eggs and sperm are designated n, or haploid. The matched pairs of chromosomes in a diploid organism are called homologous chromosomes."
