The lagging strand is characterized by a series of short segments of DNA (Okazaki fragments) that will be joined together to form a finished lagging strand. The experiments that led to the discovery of Okazaki fragments gave evidence for which of the following ideas? DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication. DNA is the genetic material. DNA is a polymer consisting of four monomers: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. Bacterial replication is fundamentally different from eukaryotic replication.

The correct answer is: DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes DNA during the DNA replication by adds nucleotides to the 3’ end of a primer. This means that the new chain is formed in a 5’ → 3’ direction.

Because double-stranded DNA is antiparallel, DNA polymerase moves in opposite directions on the two strands-leading and lagging strand. The leading strand is copied continuously since DNA polymerase is moving towards the replication fork.  The lagging strand is copied discontinuous. DNA polymerase is moving away from the replication fork (and helicase that separates the strands), so it must constantly return to copy newly separated stretches of DNA. So,  the lagging strand is copied as a series of short fragments-Okazaki fragments that are joined together by a combination of DNA pol I and DNA ligase.

Describe how oxygen and carbon dioxide are cycled using the cardiovascular and respiratory system
yuradex [85]

Answer:

respiratory system fills the blood with oxygen and gets rid of the carbon dioxide while the cardiovascular system umps the oxygen rich blood all over the body (short answer)

Explanation:

the respiratory system aids in the supply of oxygen to the blood and the exit of carbon dioxide. when the heart takes in blood that is short of oxygen and full of carbon dioxide, the pulmonary arteries pumps the blood to the lungs, who then fill the low oxygen blood with oxygen and transport the carbon dioxide out of the lungs. this oxygen rich blood, which now has a rich amount of hemoglobin, is transported to the heart which is pumped or circulated it to the entire body. (long answer)

hope this helps !!

4. Explain water potential and describe how it affects osmosis. ?.
dezoksy [38]

Answer: water potential is the measure of the energy of water to move from one area to another.

Explanation: water potential effects osmosis in a way that water needs to move through membrane and for this movement it requires pressure which makes water potential high so water movement will be faster across the membrane. Water potential determines water movement in osmosis that water move from high water potential region to low water potential region. If water potential is high inside than outside, then water movement to outside will be more.

If water potential is high outside than inside then water will move more inside. If water potential is the same in and outside then water movement inside and outside will be same and this will be called as equilibrium.
