There are not only one but two correct option, which are A and B.

DNA polymerases begin their synthesis at many points of initiation. Following the binding of specific proteins, the double helix opens to allow startup.

DNA synthesis begins on RNA / DNA primers consisting of primase and DNA polymerase a. The replication continues in one direction: in this sense one of the two strands of the DNA ("direct" strand) is traversed by the enzyme in the 3 '→ 5' direction, which allows the synthesis of another strand in the direction 5 '→ 3'. The DNA-ligases then provide the link between the different fragments of the new DNA.

The synthesis of the other strand ("delayed" strand) is more complex because the enzyme travels this strand from 5 '→ 3'. The primase and DNA polymerase α synthesize 30 nucleotide primers in front of the replication zone, and the DNA polymerase constructs small DNA fragments in the 5 '→ 3' direction (approximately 200 nucleotides; Okazaki). Ribonucleases destroy the RNA / DNA primers of the previous fragment and the fragments are then linked together by DNA ligase.

Within each eon, identify major events and the types of life that dominated the Earth during the time.

blagie [28]

There has been two eons in the Earth's geologic history so far, the Precambrian eon, and the Phanerozoic eon. The eons are the basic and by far longest units on the geological time scale, spreading over hundreds of millions of years.

The Precambrian eon is the eon that starts with the formation of the Earth, up until the development of multi-cellular organisms. A very important event in this eon can be considered the formation of the Earth's oceans, which later enabled the conditions for the development of life. The organisms that dominated this eon are the one cellular organisms.

The Phanerozoic is the eon in which the multi-cellular organisms started to develop and evolve. This eon started with the end of the Precambrian eon, 543 million years ago up until the present. A very important event in this eon is the change of the composition of the atmosphere, which enabled the terrestrial life, as well as the better living conditions for the marine life. It is very hard to choose a dominant form of life in this eon, but worthy of mentioning are the plants, the sinapsids, dinosaurs, mammals, fish.

What does nitrogen fixation accomplish?

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A. It allows plants to use nitrogen to grow.

Explanation:

However, plants can't directly use nitrogen to grow. The bacteria need to convert atmospheric nitrogen ( N2 gas) into a form that plants can use.

Nitrogen fixation is a symbiotic relationship between plants and microorganisms of nitrogen fixers, which in the process of symbiosis perform the binding of nitrogen, which enters the earth from the air (atmosphere).

It is a reduction process of converting the gaseous form of nitrogen from the air into the ammonia form that is available to plants.
