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

Which of the following is the most predictable outcome of increased gene flow between two populations?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. decreased genetic difference between the two populations

Explanation:

The gene flow between two population always reduce the genetic difference between the two population because it increases the homogeneity between the population.  

If there is greater gene flow between the two populations genes will be shared and transferred between the individual of two population which will make the two gene pool to become more and more similar.  

This will increase the fitness of both the population because more allele will add to the two populations. Therefore the correct answer is b.

Everyone's skin contains about the same number of melanocytes even though people come in many different colors. How is this poss
Hatshy [7]
This is because the melanocytes are located in the stratum basale. Lighter-skinned people usually have low basal levels, and exposure to UV radiation causes an increase which makes skin darker.
