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.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: Adaptive immunity

Explanation:

The adaptive immunity is also known as acquired immunity. It is a sub system of the overall immunity.

It can defined as the immunity which is not present in the body when we are born. It develops in the body when it is exposed to the pathogens no matter it is natural or artificial.

The acquired immunity can develop in the body and makes the body susceptible to infections and develops prevention for the next time when the body will be exposed for the next time.

Which describes the four cells that are produced at the end of meiosis? identical haploid cells genetically different diploid ce

algol13

Answer:In many ways, meiosis is a lot like mitosis. The cell goes through similar stages and uses similar strategies to organize and separate chromosomes. In meiosis, however, the cell has a more complex task. It still needs to separate sister chromatids (the two halves of a duplicated chromosome), as in mitosis. But it must also separate homologous chromosomes, the similar but nonidentical chromosome pairs an organism receives from its two parents.

Explanation:Mitosis(Opens in a new window)(Opens in a new window) is used for almost all of your body’s cell division needs. It adds new cells during development and replaces old and worn-out cells throughout your life. The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to their mothers, with not a single chromosome more or less.

Meiosis, on the other hand, is used for just one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes—sex cells, or sperm and eggs. Its goal is to make daughter cells with exactly half as many chromosomes as the starting cell.

To put that another way, meiosis in humans is a division process that takes us from a diploid cell—one with two sets of chromosomes—to haploid cells—ones with a single set of chromosomes. In humans, the haploid cells made in meiosis are sperm and eggs. When a sperm and an egg join in fertilization, the two haploid sets of chromosomes form a complete diploid set: a new genome.
