Biology

Nata [24]3 years ago
8 0
The Galapagos are considered 'young'because they were created relatively recently in geologic history. The islands are located on the Nazca oceanic plate and were formed by hot spot volcanic activity. As the tectonic plate moves over the hot spot repeated eruptions form islands. The Galapogus islands are thought to be no more than 5 million years old.

Which molecule is active during the last step of DNA replication?
stepan [7]

Correct answer: Option D- DNA ligase

Explanation: In option A, thymine is a nucleotide, so it is present throughout the replication process, wherever it is required. It is added to the newly formed DNA. In option B, Helicase enzyme is active during initiation and elongation stage, as it facilitates the opening of the winded DNA strands. Option C is nucleotidase and it has no role in DNA replication. So, the correct answer is DNA ligase, which is option D.

The okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication are sealed at the end. And in this step, DNA ligase is used. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides of okazaki fragments. So it is the last active molecule of the process.
