Answer:

(B) ACCGUUCAUGCA

Explanation:

Transcription is the one of the two stage involved in gene expression. It involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule using a DNA template. The process of transcription is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase which binds to the PROMOTER region of the DNA molecule and begins to synthesize RNA nucleotides based on what it reads on the DNA.

The addition of nucleotide bases on the RNA strand by RNA polymerase enzyme follows the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine always pairs with Thymine while Guanine always pairs with Cytosine in a DNA molecule. In the case of transcription, the Uracil base replaces Thymine in the newly synthesized RNA. Hence, for every Adenine nucleotide read by RNA polymerase, it adds a Uracil nucleotide. The same goes for Thymine-Adenine, Cytosine-Guanine and Guanine-Cytosine i.e. A-U, G-C.

Based on this principle, a DNA template with a sequence: TGGCAAGTACGT will produce an mRNA molecule with sequence: ACCGUUCAUGCA

Answer:

recombination and independent segregation of chromosomes during meiosis  

Explanation:

Recombination and independent segregation of chromosomes represent the two most important meiotic mechanisms by which sisters from the same parents can inherit different gene variants and therefore look very different from each other:  

1- Independent assortment (segregation) of chromosomes: during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed in daughter cells (which will give rise to the gametes), and therefore separate independently of each other. It is for that reason that gametes have unique combinations of chromosomes, which increases genetic variation.

2- Recombination, also known as crossing over, refers to the exchange of chromosome segments between non-sister chromatids during meiosis. This mechanism is well-known to produce new gene variants (alleles) in the daughter cells. In consequence, recombination also increases the genetic variation of the resulting gametes that will produce offspring (in this case, different sisters).

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. it joins Okazaki fragments together

Explanation:

During the DNA replication, the DNA is replicated by DNA polymerase and both the strand act as template strand. One strand is continuously synthesized by the DNA polymerase called the leading strand and the other strand is synthesized in a discontinuous manner called lagging strand.

In lagging strand due to discontinuous replication, many short nucleotide fragments are created which are called Okazaki fragments. These Okazaki fragments are joined by an enzyme DNA ligase. By making a bond between two Okazaki fragments it connects all fragments and makes a single daughter strand.

So the correct answer is C. it joins Okazaki fragments together.
