m a finished lagging strand. The experiments that led to the discovery of Okazaki fragments gave evidence for which of the following ideas? 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.

folds

anticlines

synclines

Explanation:

The image showing the Monument Valley in Utah attached to this problem shows a folded terrain dotted by series of synclines and anticlines.

  • A fold is a product of ductile deformation of a rock.
  • In the formation of a fold, compressive forces acts towards each other and causes the buckling of a rock mass.
  • This leads to the formation of series of synclines and anticlines.
  • The synclines are the bowl shaped basins that sags downward.
  • The anticilnes are the upward arching structures that looks likes a dome.

Where are the different levels of the atmosphere located?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).

Two or more organs form together to make what​
timofeeve [1]

Two or more organs form together make organ systems.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The basic unit of living organisms is the cell. Multiple cells makes up tissues and tissues make up organs. Two or more organs make up the organ system.

Human body has several organ systems. The organs that make up an organ system can be internal as well as external. Respiratory  system is made up of organs like lungs, nose, pharynx, trachea, diaphragm etc. digestive system is made with organs like liver, small intestine, stomach, mouth , large intestine, pancreas etc.
