☯️ The DNA ligase is responsible for :

  • <u>Linking the short sections of the lagging side.</u>

<h3><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

The ligase is a enzyme responsible for the linking or joining of short sections or strands. It connects the strands by forming a bond between the phosphate group of one DNA strand with deoxyribose group of other.

It is also used in Okazaki fragments connection which are formed in the lagging side during DNA replication. So, We can say that DNA ligase is a specific enzyme which helps in the linking and connecting the DNA strands or fragments by the formation of phospodiester bond.

polet [3.4K]

ATPs are the power cell of a cell. Just like a cell, they need to be charged before they can deliver power.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

ATP or the Adenosine Triphosphate is a complex molecule containing a Adenine nitrogen base, a ribose sugar and three phosphates being attached with each other in a chain. Adenosine Triphosphate is the power currency of a cell. It just acts like a rechargeable battery. The metabolic and physiological processes of a cell that needs energy, involves the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and Pi which are Adenosine Diphosphate and Inorganic phosphate respectively.

Now the ATP is discharged and needs to be charged. So the ADPs are charged into ATPs by different processes of respiration  like Glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle, Electron Transport Chain etc.

Both the hydrolysis and the condensation of ATP makes the ATP cycle.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Option D, a test for the presence of cells that contain DNA

Explanation:

As we know all living organisms are made up of cells and DNA is the basic genetic material that codes for protein and traits with an organism. If even a single cell with DNA is detected on the extraterrestrial planet then it will be clear that it has life on it or the environmental conditions are favorable to support life. Cells are microscopic and hence can be seen through microscope which can be installed easily on a probe.

Hence, option D is correct
