What are the steps of DNA Replication in order?

Biology
1 answer:
slega [8]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

1) The enzyme helicase catalyses the unwinding of the two DNA strands by disrupting the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs.

2) Single-stranded binding proteins attach to the DNA strands to stabilise them and prevent them from joining back together.

3) The enzyme primase catalyses the addition of a short primer consisting of RNA nulceotides to the DNA strand. This serves as an 'anchor' DNA polymerase to initiate replication.

4) The enzyme DNA polymerase synthesizes a new DNA strand by incorporating DNA nucleotides complementary to the existing strand. DNA polymerase activity only occurs in the 5' ---> 3' direction.

5) The enzyme ligase catalyses the formation of hydrogen bonds between the two new pairs of DNA strands, and seals any breakages in the sugar-phosphate backbone.

Andru [333]

Answer:

Stage IV - There is a primary tumor, lymph node involvement and metastases.

Explanation:

Staging is the extent of spread of tumor within the patient.

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) divides all cancers into Stages 0 - IV, incorporating into each stage several TNM (tumor/node/metastasis) stages usually with the same prognosis.  

Staging is essential in determining the patient prognosis.

The approximate 5-year survival rate for colorectal cancer patients of all stages is 64.4% (In the United States) and survival is inversely related to stage.

Surgery usually provides the only curative option for patients diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer.

Evolution might seem like a complex subject, but it is actually a simple, logical process. It is the change of the ______ and th
Lana71 [14]

Evoultion is the change of the allele frequencies and the inherited traits of a population over time.

The idea of evolution is that the species change over time. The proposed mechanism of evolution is natural selection. Natural selection favors inheritable trait, suitable for survival and reproduction. Organisms with such traits will tend to leave more offspring than others, and thus will evolve over time.

Which statement best predicts why a cell's progression through the cell cycle might be halted by the G1/S checkpoint?
velikii [3]

Answer:

The missing options are:

A. Spindle fibers have not correctly attached to chromosomes.

B. Damage occurred to DNA when it was being copied in G1.

C. There are not enough nucleotides available to construct new DNA.

D. Proteins necessary for M phase of the cell cycle have not been produced.

The correct option is <u>C.There are not enough nucleotides available to construct new DNA.</u>

Explanation:

During the G1 phase, the cell grows in size since it prepares its organelles and molecule combinations for the next phase of the cell cycle, the S phase. Before the cell transitions to the S phase, it has to pass through a checkpoint that makes sure that there are no mutations, it has grown enough, and has the necessary molecules for the next phase, which is the synthesis of DNA. If there are not enough nucleotides, the cell will not be able to synthesize new DNA in the S phase, so the checkpoint stops the cells from moving to this phase till it has all the necessary things to do it.
