Answer:

DNA polymerase is responsible for the catalysis of the replication of a vast region of DNA and the efficiency/speed of the replication is necessary to complete the replication process swiftly.

Explanation:

The difference between replication and transcription, is that in the replication process the DNA is making more copies of itself and in transcription, the DNA is being copied into RNA. DNA replication occurs in preparation for cell division, and transcription occurs in preparation for protein translation

Answer:

This depends on the speed and duration of enzymatic activities of the  two enzymes.

DNA polymerises need to replicate  the entire long length of  DNA strands, thus enough time commitment and energy is needed for this.Therefore greater efficiency should be available to undertake this.

However,RNA polymerase do not need to transcribed the entire length of the chromosomes, only the essential small regions ( exons) of the  DNA  need to be transcribed. Thus  lesser speed and time is committed with  low energy. and efficiency.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Are you talking about bacteria type viruses? because that's what I would assume.

Explanation:

Well, all viruses have a core of genetic material like RNA or DNA.

Viruses can have different families, geonomic makeup, host range and transmission mechanism.

I hope this helped in a way.

Which of the following is a characteristic of the lens?
LiRa [457]

Answer: A. the lens focuses light on the retina

The lens is composed of transparent, flexible tissue and is located directly  behind the iris and the pupil. it is the secondary part of the eye after the cornea. by changing it's shape the lens changes the focal distance of the eye and focuses the light that passes through it and into the retina in order to create clear images of objects. it also works together with the cornea to refract, or bend light.

good luck and a great day to you.
