Uracil is not found in DNA, only RNA, and replaces thymine in RNA 
sveta [45]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is uracil.

Uracil is a nitrogen base that is found in the RNA and not in the DNA, which has thymine. The three other nitrogen bases are the same ( Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine).

Besides the difference in the nitrogen bases, the two molecules also differ in the sugar that builds the structure ( DNA has desoxyribose and RNA has ribose) and the DNA is a two stranded helix, whereas the RNA is a single stranded molecule.

Explain how carbon is cycled between the atmosphere and geosphere. Use specific examples.
Over [174]

Answer:

Carbon starts as coal or oil in the earth, then is brought up by mining or drilling. When brought up, it is used up and the gases go into the atmosphere.

Which molecule is active during the last step of DNA replication?
stepan [7]

Correct answer: Option D- DNA ligase

Explanation: In option A, thymine is a nucleotide, so it is present throughout the replication process, wherever it is required. It is added to the newly formed DNA. In option B, Helicase enzyme is active during initiation and elongation stage, as it facilitates the opening of the winded DNA strands. Option C is nucleotidase and it has no role in DNA replication. So, the correct answer is DNA ligase, which is option D.

The okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication are sealed at the end. And in this step, DNA ligase is used. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides of okazaki fragments. So it is the last active molecule of the process.
