Answer:Both on the leading strand and on each okazaki fragments of the lagging strand.

Explanation:

A primer is a short single-stranded RNA nucleotide that initiate DNA synthesis at the replication fork. Because DNA polymerase can not initiate replication on it own short strand of RNA primer synthesized by an enzyme RNA primase is needed to initiate DNA polynucleotide synthesis.

RNA primer is present on both leading and lagging strand.

RNA primer of about 10 nucleotides long are present on the leading strand and on each okazaki fragments on the lagging strand to initiate replication. The RNA primer is removed and replaced by DNA nucleotides by DNA polymerase.

Which disorders can be observed in a human karyotype
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

A karyotype is defined as the size, shape, and number of chromosomes present in an organism.

An analysis is usually done on a karyotype to see if individuals have abnormal numbers or sizes of chromosomes. Such abnormalities may arise from;

Deletion: which implies that a chromosomal part is missing.

Duplication: where parts of a chromosome are repeated.

Translocation: which occurs when a chromosomal part breaks off and gets attached to another chromosome.

Nondisjunction: in which chromosomes do not separate from the parent cells.

Common chromosomal disorders arising from these abnormalities include;

Down's syndrome

Edwards syndrome

Turner's syndrome

Klinefelter syndrome

Prada-willi syndrome

Cri-du-chat syndrome

Patau's syndrome
