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.

What is the relationship between proto-oncogenes and oncogenes?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Oncogenes result from a mutation in  proto-oncogenes.

Explanation:

  • Protooncogenes control the growth and division of cells.
  • The proteins encoded by proto-oncogenes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, transcription factors and signal transducers.
  • They contribute to the transformation process by driving cell proliferation or reducing sensitivity to cell death.
  • Several types of genetic and epigenetic changes convert these proto-oncogenes to oncogenes.
  • Oncogenes arise due to the changes that increases the expression of proto-oncogenes .
  • Oncogenes are one of the causes of cancers.

A proto-oncogenes can turn into oncogene by following ways:

  • A point mutation  such as deletion, insertion and substitution  in the proto-oncogene can lead to formation of oncogenes.
  • Chromosomal translocation may result in activation of proto-oncogene as seen in Burkitt's lymphoma.
  • Insertion of a mobile genetic material such as retrovirus changes the gene expression, but leaves their coding sequence intact.
  • Activation of proto-oncogene can also occur from reduplication and amplification of DNA sequence.

hjlf
<span>The answer should be: D) water supply

</span>Water is a perishable resource and its supply will limit how much population that an area could hold. <span>With a bigger population, the competition for water will be higher which make water shortage more likely. Others density-dependent limiting factor than competition would be disease, parasitism, and predation.
