A biochemist isolates and purifies various molecules needed for DNA replication. When she adds these molecules to DNA, replicati

on occurs, but half of the DNA produced consists of a normal DNA strand paired with numerous segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long. What has she probably left out of the mixture

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.

I need to know why organisms that reproduce asexually would have the same alleles as the parent
finlep [7]

Ok so when organisms reproduce asexually, they are basically just copies of their parent. Imagine you were copied. The person would be exactly like you . They would have the same DNA and genetic makeup. This would make them have the same alleles. :)

You are studying a disorder that is based on the genetic composition at three loci. Assume that a dominant allele at any locus a
kramer

Answer:

28 units

Explanation:

This disorder follows quantitative inheritance. It is controlled by three genes which do not show the usual dominant-recessive relationship . The six alleles individually contribute to the effect which add up to produce the cumulative phenotype. Dominant allele contributes 6 units of risk whereas recessive allele contributes 2 units of risk.

Individual with genotype AABbCc has four dominant alleles (AABC) and two recessive alleles (bc). So their total risk units =

(6*4) + (2*2) = 24 + 4

= 28 units

______ polymers can be produced in large quantities at low cost.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Electrical products

Explanation - Polymers of electrical products can be produced in large quantities and low cost. This type of polymer are non-conductive in nature. However, they very high heat resistance property. Polymers for electrical products can mold itself in various shapes and sizes and also can reach very minute areas.

Polymers vary from one item to another. Polymers for commercial packaging is different from polymers of electrical products. Thus, polymers need to be chosen properly according to the use and its effectiveness.

Ralph has type B blood and his wife Rachel has type A blood. They are very shocked to hear that their baby has type O blood, and
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

1. The parents genotypes could have been BO and AO

2. wire-hair

Explanation:

There are four possible blood types which are type A, B, AB, O. blood group is the classification of blood based on the presence or the absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of the red blood cells. They have hereditary basis and also rely on a series of alternative genes sometimes used in solving dispute of parental heritage. With the four possible blood groups, there are six possible genotypes and these are:

Blood type               possible genotypes

Type A                         AA, AO

Type B                         BB, BO

Type AB                           AB

Type O                              OO

Thus, for parents with blood type B and A to give birth to a child with blood type O, it means their genotype could have been both BO and AO  for them to be able to produce a child with OO. a cross between these two could give rise to OO.

Question 2

Wire hair is dominant (S) to smooth (s), thus wire hair could be in the homozygous (SS) and heterozygous form (Ss) and the smooth hair can only be expressed in the homozygous recessive form (ss).

thus, in a cross between homozygous wire haired and smooth haired, we will have:

homozygous wire haired            homozygous smooth haired

P gen              SS                x               ss

F1 gen.                                Ss

phenotype:                     wire haired
