2. Dominant sporophyte: chances that it is a pteridophyte

3.The xylem and tracheids: shows that vascular bundle is present which confirms that it is pteridophyte

Answer:

B) Polymerases can only synthesize in the 5' to 3' direction

Explanation:

The leading strand's directionality is 3' to 5', so polymerase has no problem with replicating this one.
