The new dna strand that grows continuously in the 5' to 3' direction is called the __leading strand__.
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago

The correct answer is leading strand.


Leading strand is the new dna strand which grows continuously in the 5' to 3' direction. DNA is made up of double helix of two complementary strands. In the times of replication the strands are separated.


DNA replication begins in the genome which is the origin of replication. DNA polymerase synthesizes new strands by process of adding nucleotides and do compliment each strand. It is performed in Vitro.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Genes coding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Explanation:

Chiasma is the connecting link between two non sister chromatids from homologous chromosomes. At chiasma chromosomal crossover takes place in which the genetic material is exchanged between the chromatids. During meiosis aneuploidy occurs if chiasma is absent or impaired due to a mutation in genes encoding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Aneuploidy is characterised by presence of abnormal number of chromosomes in cells. They can be 45 or 47 in number apart from the usual 46. Due to impaired chiasma, chromosome pair fails to separate and is passed on to the egg or sperm as it is hence there is one gamete with an extra chromosome and one gamete with a less chromosome. Aneuploidy can result in many genetic disorders like three copies of chromosome 21 can result in Down syndrome.

Why can information only pass in one direction across synapse?? pls help !!
klio [65]
A Nerve electrical impulse only travels in one direction. There are several reasons nerve impulses only travel in one direction. The most important is synaptic transport.
In order for a "nerve impulse" to pass from cell to cell, it must cross synaptic junctions. The nerve cells are lined up head to tail all the way down a nerve track, and are not connected, but have tiny gaps between them and the next cell. These tiny gaps are called synapses.
When you get a nerve firing, you have probably heard that it is an electrical impulse that carries the signal. This is true, but it is not electrical in the same way your wall outlet works. This is electrochemical energy. Neurotransmitters are molecules that fit like a lock and key into a specific receptor. The receptor is located on the next cell in the line. When the neurotransmitter hits the receptor on the next cell in line, it signals that cell to begin a firing as well.
This will continue all the way down the length of the nerve track. In a nutshell, a nerve firing results in a chain reaction down the nerve cell's axon, or stemlike section. Sodium (Na+) ions flow in, potassium (K+) ions flow out, and we get an electrochemical gradient flowing down the length of the cell. You can think of it as a line of gunpowder that someone lit, with the flame traveling down the length of it. Common electrical power is more like a hose full of water, and when you put pressure on one end, the water shoots out the other.
Therefore, nerve impulses cannot travel in the opposite direction, because nerve cells only have neurotransmitter storage vesicles going one way, and receptors in one place.

List the three principal hormones that regulate glucose metabolism. Explain the effects these molecules have on carbohydrate met
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The three hormones are insulin, glucagon, and GIP and GLP-1.

Explanation:

After the ingestion of carbohydrates, insulin increases in the blood generating peaks in blood glucose, therefore the hormone that will increase is insulin to lower blood glucose, promoting the entry of this monosaccharide into the cells.

Different from the moments when the person enters into physical activity, and blood glucose is low, therefore glucagon is activated and seeks to remove the energy reserves from the interior of the cell.
