Answer: DNA is a molecule made up of two strands, twisted around each other in a double helix shape. The two strands are complementary which have a 5 prime end and a 3 prime end. To understand this question you must first understand the steps that follow.
DNA Replication:
<u>Step one: </u>
DNA Helicase (unzips) separates the strands.
<u>Step two:</u>
DNA Primase starts the process and makes a small piece of RNA called a primer. This marks the starting point for the DNA.
<u>Step three:</u>
DNA Polymerase binds to the primer and will make the new strand of DNA. DNA Polymerase can only add DNA bases in one direction, from the 5 prime end to the 3 prime end.
- The leading strand is made continuously.
- The lagging strand does not run continuously because it runs in the opposite direction. Each fragment is started with an RNA primer. DNA Polymerase then adds a short row of DNA bases from the 5 prime to 3 prime direction. This results in okazaki fragments because it can only replicate in small chunks. The process is repeated.
<u>Step four:</u>
Once the new DNA is complete the enzyme exonuclease removes all the RNA primers from both strands of DNA.
<u>Step five:</u>
Another DNA Polymerase fills in the gaps that are left behind with DNA.
<u>Step six:</u>
DNA Ligase seals up the fragments in DNA, in both strands to make a continuous double strand.
<u>Final answer:</u>
DNA Replication cannot replicate at the same time due to the leading and lagging strand.
Good luck!
A and C both seem like valid answers.
Hello there,
As from what I can recall, I can remember 4 concerns regarding nuclear energy
1) Storing radioactive waste
2) Safety
3) Weapons proliferation and terrorism
4) Health
Hope this helps ;))

Explanation:
Your stomach is a sac-like organ with strong muscular walls. In addition to holding food, it serves as the mixer and grinder of food. Your stomach makes acid and powerful enzymes that break the food down and change it to a liquid or paste. From there, food moves to your small intestine
