The lagging strand is characterized by a series of short segments of DNA (Okazaki fragments) that will be joined together to for

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.

A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be ________ to transmit it to offspring.
IgorLugansk [536]
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be heterozygous for the trait and able to transmit it to offspring. This particular individual has inherited a recessive allele for a genetic trait or mutation but does not display that trait or show symptoms of the disease. They are referred to as genetic carriers. The chance of two carriers having an offspring with the disease or genetic disorder is 25%

Much of the atmosphere of the planet Venus is made up of carbon dioxide. How do you think this influences the surface temperatur
3241004551 [841]

Answer:As carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases heat up the planet, more water evaporates into the atmosphere, which in turn raises the temperature further.

Which type of oscillation would most likely produce an electromagnetic wave?
Art [367]
Electromagnetic waves are waves propagated by simultaneous periodic variations of electric and magnetic field intensity that include radio waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.

Damped oscillation means that there is some force that causes the oscillation to become smaller and smaller over time. For example, the pendulum exhibits an oscillation motion. Over time, the swinging of pendulum would come to a stop, unless a force is acted on it.

Forced oscillation means that an outside force causes an object to oscillate at a certain frequency. For instance, if you decide to swing the pendulum so that it won't stop from swinging, the action is called forced oscillation.

On the other hand, resonance oscillation refers to the increase in an amplitude of oscillation of an electric or mechanical system exposed to a periodic force whose frequency is equal or very close to the natural undamped frequency of the system.

Among the three types of oscillation, resonance is most likely to produce an electromagnetic wave.
