Why are enzymes needed during DNA replication?

Biology
1 answer:
masya89 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

An enzyme is a molecule that speeds up a reaction. In the case of DNA reproduction, enzymes not only speed up the reaction, they are necessary for DNA reproduction.

Explanation:

An enzyme is a molecule that speeds up a reaction. In the case of DNA reproduction, enzymes not only speed up the reaction, they are necessary for DNA reproduction.

Recall that DNA is a long strand with a many repeating base pairs. In order for DNA to reproduce, the base pairs must be split apart. One half of the strand is then used as a template to build a new strand of DNA.

The enzyme helicase is responsible for splitting DNA along the base pairs. Helicase moves along the DNA strand unzipping the strand just as a zipper.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Color of light/Type of light

Explanation:

B/c by definition of independent variables, these are the variables that are manipulated to see how it affects the other value (which is aka dependent variable). Color of light is independent because you have multiple manipulation which can be clearly seen in the different types of lights and the height is dependent on what color of light it is exposed to.

Additionally,

Dependent variable - the height of the plant

An independent variable is not affected during the experiment. It is what experimenter controls.  The dependent variable is called dependent because it depends on the independent variables. Here, the height of the plant depends on the color of the light, therefore the height of the plant is dependent variable and the color of the light is the independent variable.

Solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy<br> are examples of<br> resources.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Renewable Energy Resources.

Explanation:

Unlike fossil fuels which cannot be recovered when destroyed, these sources of energy can be recovered by a means of recycling . Recycling here reduces solid wastes which is one of the causes of land pollution.

Hydroelectric schemes can only be built in mountain regions where rainfall and rivers are plentiful which involves upset of aquatic ecosystem. This poses a dangerous pollution problem though.

Wind generators and solar panels are not very efficient energy producers. However, future schemes for producing solar energy via solar satellites are promising.

Population of Rabbits based on Leg Length
stich3 [128]

Answer:

B) The rabbits with medium length legs are the most stable and thus will out survive the others.

D) It is unlikely that evolution is occurring because none of the traits have disappeared from the population.

Explanation:

The graph shows that rabbits with longer legs are more likely to have a selective advantage that allows them to survive and reproduce than shorter  legs. Throughout the generations, it shows that the number of short legs have decreased, and the number of medium length legs neither have advantage or disadvantage.
