Question: Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?

It is synthesized toward the replication fork.

It is synthesized in the 3′ to 5′ direction.

It is synthesized away from the replication fork.

It is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.

Answer:

The two statements that are true for the leading strand in DNA are "it is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction"

Explanation:

Leading strand in DNA is the strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction where the replication fork is moving. The movement of replication fork allows the access of template for the new DNA. The DNA synthesis is continuous in the leading strand. It is synthesized in the 5' to 3' as DNA synthesis always takes place in this direction. This is because dNTP ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) provides free 3' OH group where new dNTP can be added by the enzyme DNA polymerase.

Which reflex is triggered by food in the stomach, relaxes the ileocecal valve, and allows residue into the cecum?
kari74 [83]

Gastroileal reflex is triggered by food in the stomach, relaxes the ileocecal valve, and allows residue into the cecum.

The gastroileal reflex is triggered by the presence of food in the stomach as well as gastric peristalsis.

Gastroileal reflex brings about peristalsis in the ileum as well as the opening of the ileocecal valve, which in turn facilitates the emptying of the ileal constituents into the large intestine or colon.

The gastroileal reflex is one among the three extrinsic reflexes of the gastrointestinal tract. The other two include the gastrocolic reflex as well as the enterogastric reflex.

This type of gastrointestinal reflex is moderated by the vagus nerve and gastrin.

Greenhouse gases are essential to support life on earth.<br> True or false?
just olya [345]
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases that are also produced as a result of human consumption, such as the burning of fossil fuels. They are essential to life in that a gas such as carbon dioxide (Co2) is essential to photosynthesis and the production of oxygen which helps to sustain life. However, the levels of greenhouse gases are far outreaching their natural limits and are having a negative impact on human and animal life.
