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.

Diffusion, Osmosis and Enzymes
Nana76 [90]

The given statements can be matched as following:

a)The diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration  - Osmosis

b)Lowers the amount of energy needed to perform chemical reactions - Enzymes

c)When you breath O2 passes into your blood stream while CO2 passes out of your blood stream -Simple Diffusion

d)Involved with, but does not become a part of chemical reactions -Enzymes

e)Small molecules with no charge can move through semi-permeable membranes by this process- Simple Diffusion

Explanation:

a) Osmosis is generally defined as the process by which water is transported from a region of Higher concentration to the region of Lower concentration.

b) Enzymes are well known to reduce the amount of energy required or needed for a chemical reaction to take place.

c)The process by which oxygen passes through our blood stream and carbondioxide passes through the other is known as simple diffusion process.

d) Enzymes are ones that actively gets involved in the chemical reaction but they will never become a part of that chemical reaction.

e) Diffusion is the process by which very small molecules that carries no charge moves through semi permeable membrane.

What are two characteristics of P waves
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

P waves are compressional which means they move through a solid or liquid by pushing or pulling similar to the way the sound travels through air, the particles of the material a P wave pushes through moves in the direction of the P waves energy, this is called the direction of wave propagation
