Why are telomeres problematic for eukaryotic chromosome replication? a) They are highly repetitive and thus hard to replicate co

rrectly. b) Telomerase is more error-prone than the normal DNA Polymerase. c) The T loop blocks formation of primers on the lagging strand. d) Removal of the lagging strand primer leaves a gap in the one of the strand's DNA sequences. e) Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Answer: Option E

Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Explanation:

Telomere refers to either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome.

Usually, in eukaryote chromosome replication, telomeres are not replicated.

Hence, they are usually lost resulting in the shortening of the telomere ends after repeated cycle of cell division. This also leads to cell aging and stoppage of cell division.

The shortening of telomere combined with stoppage of cell division, and cell aging initiation prevent CANCER, which thrives on lengthy telomeres

A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The new plants are identical to the mother strawberry plant because they are the result  of asexual reproduction, that is, from successive mitosis clones of the mother plant are made. The runners do vegetative reproduction, they make the vegetative reproduction by means of which roots and stems are formed with identical cells to the parent.

Can you put leave in conditioner on dry hair
Marysya12 [62]

You can, but I don't recommend it. Conditioner should only be used for damp or wet hair. If used on dry hair, it could ruin.

Hope this helps!
