The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

A. The lagging strand glows more because its RNA primer is nearer the replication fork.

B. The leading strand glows more because it is elongated nearest the replication fork.

C. The lagging strand glows more because it forms the "trombone loop."

D. The leading strand glows more because it forms the "trombone loop."

Answer:

A. The lagging strand glows more because its RNA primer is nearer the replication fork.

Explanation:

The process of DNA replication requires the primase enzyme which synthesises RNA primers from the DNA strand. The RNA primers bind to the site near the replication fork from where the replication begins.

If the ribonucleotides are radioactively labelled then the strand which glows brighter than the other will be the lagging strand as the lagging strand is synthesized by the template DNA running in 5' to 3' direction as a result of which the RNA primer moves towards the replication fork.

Thus, Option-A is correct.

How are nitrogen, phosphorus, and arsenic similar?
irina1246 [14]
All the three elements belong to the same group in the periodic table, that is Group 15 (Va) of the periodic table. They are also known as Nitrogen group element, others are, antimony, bismuth and moscovium. They share certain general similarities in chemical behavior, which reflect common features of the electronic structures of their atoms. 
Each element occupies the fifth position among the main group elements of its period, a position designated 15. Also they possess an outermost shell of five electrons. Additionally, they have an unshared, or lone pair of electrons which remains after the three covalent bonds, or their equivalent, have been formed.
