What enzyme connects new nucleotides and proofreads them in separated DNA strands?

1 answer:

5 0

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that connects new nucleotides and proofreads them into separate DNA strands.

This process is part of DNA replication. A cell's DNA is replicated before a cell divides. The two strands of a DNA molecule have complementary base pairs. Each strand in the pair consists of a nucleotide sequence which is able to provide the information to duplicate itself. Before the duplication occurs, the length of the DNA that is about to be copied must be unwound and the two strands must be separated. This is done by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the pairs together. They must then be kept apart from each other to expose the bases so that the new nucleotide partners can bond to them. DNA polymerase is the enzyme that moves along the exposed DNA strand and joins the new nucleotides to manufacture a new DNA strand that is a duplicate of the original

Which of the following is NOT an important source of resistance to blood flow? Which of the following is NOT an important source

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

total blood volume

Explanation:

Resistance to blood flow or vascular resistance refers to the slow down of the blood flow due to friction between the flowing blood and the walls of the blood vessels.

The resistance to blood flow is regulated by the viscosity of blood, total length, and diameter of the blood vessels. Higher blood viscosity imparts more resistance to the blood flow. The reduced diameter of blood vessels also restricts the blood flow through the blood vessels. Similarly, the resistance to the blood flow is directly proportional to the total length of the blood vessels.

However, total blood volume present in the body of the organisms does not affect vascular resistance. The total blood volume affects the blood pressure which in turn would affect the systemic vascular resistance.

Which human activity would help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Burning coal

Explanation:

The emissions of carbon dioxide would reduce because then they will consume less gasoline. Instead of coal burning, this would reduce the overall concentrations of greenhouse gas emissions and generate energy from wind.
