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

Suppose a particular glacier covers 100 km^2, and it loses 30 cm of depth in a decade. Approximately what volume (km^3 ) is lost
meriva

Answer:

0.03 km^3

Explanation:

First convert the 30 centimeters into kilometers. This will give you 0.0003 km because 1 km is 100,000 cm. Next multiply 100km^2 by 0.0003km which will give you your answer or 0.03 km^3.

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition in which blood does not clot properly. Queen Victoria of England had one allele fo
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Because hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

Explanation:

As the problem states, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

  • Meaning that in Queen Victoria's female descendants (coded XX) which inherited the Queen's one allele, for hemophilia to appear in them it would be necessary to inherit another hemophillia-carrying allele from the father.
  • The Queen's male descendants (coded XY) would always manifest hemophilia if they inherited the Queen's hemophilia allele, as they possesed only one X gene.
