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.

What is the expected phenotypic ratio for feather colour if two chickens with blue feathers are crossed
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1:2:1 for black : blue : white chicken.

Explanation:

We know that color of the feather is a trait of the chicken that shows the codominance type of inheritance pattern where both forms of the trait are dominant and make a mix of the forms. In this case, blue is heterozygous BW and black BB and white is WW, then crossed between BW with BW

gametes: B, W and B, W

Punnett

           B       W

B        BB      BW

W        BW     WW

thus, the phenotypic ration is - 1 black : 2 blue : 1 white

Which parts of the graph for it increase if all of earths polar ice melts? Which part would decrease?
tigry1 [53]
If the Earths polar Ice melts the ocean levels will increase because of the increased amount of water. Some peninsulas and islands would decrease because they would sink from the risen water.
