Explain the difference between the leading and lagging strands of dna

1 answer:

5 0

The usual way of reading and writing of the dna strand is from 5’ to 3’. When the dna strand is duplicated one strand is duplicated in the usual way and the other in inverse (because the strands are inverse directioned in the dna). The strand that is duplicated in the usual 5’ > 3’ is continuous and therefore leading. But the inverse cannot be duplicated in a continous line so its lagging and duplicated in fragments which are afterwards being connected with enzymes

Explain the difference between types of scientific investigation

allsm [11]

Answer:

Hey there.

There are three types of scientific investigations: descriptive, comparative, and experimental scenitific investigations.

fist we have Descriptive scientific investigations.

Descriptive investigations use careful observations and measurements to develop findings.

Then we have  comparative Investigation.

comparative investigations Involve collecting data on different populations/organisms, under different conditions (Times of year, locations), to make a comparison. for Example, Using a hand lens to examine the color and texture of four different rocks.

Lastly we have experimental scientific investigations.

Experimental investigations involve a process in which a "fair test" is designed and variables are actively manipulated, controlled,

Solar cells harness the sun's energy and convert it into electricity. However, the cost of this clean energy is much higher than

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Option D

Solar panels contain a very expensive element, i.e. silicon. This element is able to convert the solar energy into electric energy. The cost of the solar panel gets expensive because of this rare element. It is found in limited areas of the world. That’s why option D is correct. Coal is not used in solar panel, so option B is incorrect. Neither is wind energy, so option A is also incorrect. Water is also not used for exploiting solar energy, which makes option C a wrong answer.
