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.

List two examples of how cells' shapes are suited to their functions?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Red blood cell in humans - it has no nucleus. Hence it offers the cell to carry more haemoglobin.

- they are disc shaped allowing them to pass through narrow capillaries.

Root hair cells in plants- they have a large cytoplasm which enables them to take water from the soil.

White Blood Cells in humans - they have lobed nucleus and so can change their shape to pass through narrow capillaries.

Drag and drop the steps of digestion to order them from first to last step.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The teeth in the mouth bite off a piece of food.

The teeth continue to break the food into smaller pieces.

Saliva rushes into the mouth and mixes with the broken-down food.

The food travels down the esophagus.

The muscles of the stomach churn the food and continue to break it down.

The broken-down food, called chyme, enters the small intestine.

The remaining food passes into the large intestine. Water is absorbed from the large intestine and the rest of

the material is stored as solid waste until it is excreted from the body.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

cloning, Finn-Dorset, DNA, nucleus

Explanation:

So basically what they're doing here is they're taking the cytoplasm of a cell of the Scottish Blackface sheep (maybe a lamb?, whatever)/removing the nucleus inside that cell and instead inserting the nucleus of the Finn-Dorset sheep. Then they insert that "integrated" cell (so to speak) into a surrogate ewe so that the blastocyst can evolve and develop into Dolly (the lamb/sheep).

The process is cloning. The resulting offspring would be genetically identical to the Finn-Dorset (sheep/lamb) b/c the nucleus is coming from that sheep & the nucleus has the genetic material (DNA). Hope ya found this helpful :)

P.S. Oh yeah, and thanks for the fifty points (hopefully)
