Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

<em>The biochemist must have left out DNA ligase enzyme.</em>

<u>The DNA ligase enzyme is able to catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds and as such, capable of joining strands of DNA together to form a single strand.</u>

The numerous DNA segments of a few nucleotides long observed by the biochemist must have been the replicated product of the lagging DNA strand. The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in short strands because the DNA polymerase enzyme can only elongate primers in 5' to 3' direction. The short segments are known as Okazaki segments and are usually joined together to form a whole strand by the DNA ligase enzyme.

Hence, the missing component is the DNA ligase.

Select the reasons why the term 'prokaryote' can be problematic.
pochemuha
1. Answer:
<span>It implies that prokaryotes existed before eukaryotes.
It implies that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes.
Prokaryote and eukaryote are used as a result of an evolutionary worldview.

All of the three sentences is true. The word "pro-" from prokaryotes means "before". So, prokaryotes sound like an organism that exists before </span>eukaryotes. If you link it with evolution, you can assume that eukaryotes were prokaryotes that evolved.<span>

</span><span>2. Answer:
food spoilage
flavor food
make cheese
make yogurt
decomposition

Measles can be excluded easily because it was caused by virus, not bacteria. Food spoilage is caused by bacteria. That is why food preservation method would result in killing/inhibiting bacteria. </span>Decomposition is similar to spoilage. Bacteria also used for fermentation in cheese, yogurt or beer.
