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.

Genetic drift occurs when people move into or out of a population. <br> a. True <br> b. False
Ede4ka [16]
The statement would be considered to be B. False, because genetic drift occurs when different genotypes in smaller populations have a chance of disappearance. This is due to the species either dying off or not reproducing with others, so the genotype doesn't spread to offspring, because the species didn't have offspring.
