Answer: The correct answer to the question is option B.

DNA POLYMERASE

DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides in the DNA polymer being formed

Explanation: DNA Replication, the formation of a phosphodiester bridge is catalyzed by DNA polymerases.

DNA polymerases catalyze the formation of a phosphodiester bond efficiently only if the base on the incoming nucleoside triphosphate is complementary to the base on the template strand,During polymerization of nucleotides to form nucleic acids, the hydroxyl group on the phosphate group attaches to the 3' carbon of a sugar of one nucleotide to form an ester bond to the phosphate of another nucleotide. The reaction forms a phosphodiester linkage and eliminates a water molecule. In DNA and RNA, the phosphodiester bond is the linkage between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5' carbon atom of another, deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA. Strong covalent bonds form between the phosphate group and two 5-carbon ring carbohydrates (pentoses) over two ester bonds.

The phosphodiester bond, which links the sugar molecules and phosphate molecules in the backbone, is one of the most crucial components for building DNA and RNA because it maintains the integrity of the genetic code and allows for life on this planet.

Non-photosynthetic species of Euglena are sometimes classified as which of the following?
IRISSAK [1]

Options are not provided in the question. The complete question is as following:

Non-photosynthetic species of Euglena are sometimes classified as which of the following?

a. zooflagellates

b. sarcodines

c. water molds

d. pyrrophytes

Answer:

a. zooflagellates

Explanation:

Zooflagellates are non-photosynthetic flagellates which lack cell walls or plastids. The mode of their feeding is by phagocytosis or endocytosis.

Non-photosynthetic species of Euglena are consider as Zooflagellates. Zoomastigophora is a phylum within the kingdom Protista. some of the diseases caused by zooflagellates  includes African Sleeping Sickness. they have a spherical, elongated body with a single central nucleus and form a symbiotic relationship with other organisms.

Hence, the correct option is a.

How would the introduction of predator species affect the stability of the ecosystem
Elza [17]
 Introducing a predator means there will be less prey which will help balance the population of prey. Some predators may run out of food and there might be no prey left for them. If the prey were removed the predator population would decline.
