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.

How is it possible for a baby to grow all of its<br> organs
avanturin [10]

Explanation:

during the embryonic stage the baby grows its organs

Nervous system. This is one of the first things that develop. It includes the formation of the baby’s brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Heart. An S-shaped tube forms on the front of the embryo. This will become the baby’s heart. At first the heart does not beat, but soon it starts beating and pumping an early form of blood.

Face. The baby’s facial features begin to take shape. The eyes and ears form. The eyes move forward on the face, and eyelids form. Pieces of tissue grow and join together to create the forehead, nose, cheeks, lips, and jaw. The nasal passages, mouth, and tooth buds form the baby’s first teeth. A tongue with taste buds also forms.

Arms and legs. At first, the baby’s arms and legs begin as little buds that sprout from the embryo’s sides. As they grow, the arms look like paddles and the legs look like flippers. A ridge appears on the end of each one. They eventually become the baby’s fingers and toes.

Sexual organs. Cells form to become the baby’s eggs or sperm. The baby’s private parts (girl/boy) is visible at the end of the embryonic period.

Muscles and movement. Muscles develop and the embryo begins to move. At first it’s only twitching and reacting to touch. Once the nerves and muscles start working together, the baby can start moving on purpose.
