In DNA replication in bacteria, the enzyme DNA polymerase III (abbreviated DNA pol III) adds nucleotides to a template strand of

DNA. But DNA pol III cannot start a new strand from scratch. Instead, a primer must pair with the template strand, and DNA pol III then adds nucleotides to the primer, complementary to the template strand. Each of the four images below shows a strand of template DNA (dark blue) with an RNA primer (red) to which DNA pol III will add nucleotides.

Answer:

In which image will adenine (A) be the next nucleotide to be added to the primer?

T, CG, GC, CG, A

**In the example above, DNA pol III would add an adenine nucleotide to the 3' end of the primer, where the template strand has thymine as the next available base. You can tell which end is the 3' end by the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group.

The structure of DNA polymerase III is such that it can only add new nucleotides to the 3' end of a primer or growing DNA strand (as shown here). This is because the phosphate group at the 5' end of the new strand and the 3' -OH group on the nucleoside triphosphate will not both fit in the active site of the polymerase.

A fruit fly has diploid cells with 8 chromosomes. Explain how many chromosomes are in its haploid gametes
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Diploid means 2n

Haploid means n

Here we have 2n=8 (because fruit fly has diploid cells with 8 chromosomes) to get to n which is haploid divide by 2, you get n=4
