The DNA replication by the action of DNA polymerase takes place in the 3' to 5' direction on the leading strand. The lagging strand which has the opposite orientation or polarity as that of the leading strand requires a more time to get synthesised. The DNA replication of the lagging strand happens in short segments where a RNA primer forms a compliment with a part of the DNA segment on its 3' end. This RNA primer helps initiate the replication of the Okazaki fragments. When the replication on the lagging strand reaches its end, the RNA primer forms a compliment with the last bit of the strand. This small segment gets missed in the end as no more DNA is left to form a RNA primer-DNA compliment. Such shortening of the lagging strand in the replication process is the end-replication problem.
Telomeres are protective ends of the DNA strands. These ends contain a poly-A tail. When the lagging strand replication reaches its end, the RNA primer forms a compliment with the telomere and initiates the replication. This leads to the shortening of the telomere and not the coding segments on the lagging strand of DNA. The telomerase repairs the shortened telomere by re-synthesising it.
They will all be smooth pea shape
The Genotype will be: Ss
Capital S being the dominant smooth pea shape and lowercase s being the recessive wrinkled shape
Answer:
The question lacks options, the options are:
parents?
A.100% red/white-feather chickens.
B.50% white-feather chickens and 50% red/white-feather chickens.
C.33% white-feather chickens, 33% red-feather chickens, and 33% red/white-feather chickens.
D.25% white-feather chickens, 25% red-feather chickens, and 50% red/white-feather chickens
The Correct answer is D
Explanation:
According to the question, the hybrid chicken has a mixture of red and white feather phenotypes expressed at the same time. This tells us that the red and white alleles are CODOMINANT in the chicken i.e. none is dominant or recessive over the other.
Let's assume that (R) allele is the red feather colour while (r) allele is for white feather colour. Therefore, the red/white feathered chicken will have a Rr genotype. In a cross between two red/white feathered chicken (Rr), the following offsprings will be produced RR, Rr, Rr and rr
RR- Homozygous red feather d chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)
Rr- Hybrid Red/White feathered chicken (2/4 × 100=50%)
rr- Homozygous white feathered chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)
Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphate, which is the more specific form of Deoxyribonucletides.
When DNA is synthesised by DNA polymerase by complimentary base pairing, 2 phosphate groups from Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphate breaks away, releasing energy from the binding of the Deoxyribonucleotide to the adjacent Deoxyribonucleotide molecule via phosphodiester bond. These molecules will be called Deoxyribonucleoside Monophosphates.
Thus, the general name of the building block of DNA is Deoxyribonucleotide, and the more specific names depend on at which stage of DNA replication you are referring to.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
BB is blue
bb is red
Bb is patchwork
Explanation:
It can't really be codominant since lowercase letters are recessive, and condomance needs 2 dominant alleles of a different types. So really it should be BB for blue, RR for red and BR for patchwork...
