Answer:

Theta - would be unable to initiate

rolling circle - could proceed without primase

Explanation:

Primase is an enzyme involved in the replication of DNA and catalyzes the synthesis of Primers(Short RNA segments)

Bacterial replication can be by theta or Rolling circle.

In theta replication primers are to initiate replication, without primase there will be no primers hence replication will not be initiated.

Rolling circle is in circular DNA and replication is initiated by an initiator protein  encoded by plasmid therefore  the process will proceed without primase.

Think where mitochondria are found in the greatest numbers - they are found (for example) in liver cells, kidney cells, muscle cells etc. These tissues carry out a lot of work and thus require lots of energy.

We often hear people talk about family traits and how they seem to skip a generation, according to Mendel what has happened?
Vesnalui [34]
This family trait that skips a generation comes from an autosomal recessive trait or as Mendel called as hidden non-dominant trait. Offsprings have a dominant and recessive trait which comes from both parents. Recessive trait appears only when two offspring with same recessive trait blends. This happens in self-fertilization. In the human population, marriage is prohibited between offsprings, thus having recessive trait is only imminent when cousins are married.
