DNA contains the template needed to copy itself, but it has no catalytic activity in cells. What catalyzes the formation of phos

Answer:

DNA polymerases

Explanation:

The formation of a phosphodiester bond between adjacent nucleotides is catalyzed by the DNA polymerases. They do this efficiently only if the incoming base on the incoming nucleoside triphosphate is complementary to the base on the template strand and can bind efficiently.

Answer:

The answer is DNA polymerase

Explanation: DNA polymerase catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides in the DNA polymer being formed during DNA replication. The DNA polymerase catalyze the formation of poly nucleotide chains through the addition of new nucleotides from incoming deoxyneucleoside triphosphate. The polymerase reaction needs an appropriate DNA template to take place.

Each incoming neucleoside triphosphate first forms a base pair with a base in the template. Next, the DNA polymerase links the incoming base with the predecessor in the chain. Therefore, DNA polymerases are template directed enzymes.

Explain the limiting factors that control population growth
serg [7]

Competition - when space is full pack organisms compete for resources and the sooner the resources are gone. Predation - organisms feed on and kill animals lowering their population growth and the prey population growth, same as herbivore and human prey. Disease - again feeds on hosts. Stress from overcrowding - females could kill offspring. Hurricanes (density-independent limiting factors).

What produces the cell cycle?
Marta_Voda [28]

The cell cycle is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells. Cells on the path to cell division proceed through a series of precisely timed and carefully regulated stages of growth, DNA replication, and division that produces two identical (clone) cells.

Explain two effects that the study of genes could have on the future.
adoni [48]
1) determine the probability of individuals inheriting a disease
2) In the future, new genetic mutations will arise, and knowing to understand genetics would be important in helping analyze the problem/mutation in genetic recombination.
3) Genetics allows us to link diseases to one another (pedigrees) by analyzing if they are recessive, dominant, and/or autosomal, this allows us, as scientists to be able to identify and classify future diseases, and to determine their inheritance pattern, in the future.
