A biochemist isolates and purifies various molecules needed for DNA replication. When she adds some DNA, replication occurs, but

each DNA molecule consists of a normal strand paired with numerous segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long. What has she probably left out of the mixture?

Answer:

The correct answer is DNA ligase.

Explanation:

DNA Ligase is an enzyme with links 2 strands of DNA by creating a bond between the phosphate group of 1 strand and deoxyribose group of the other strand of DNA.

In cells, it is used to join the Okazaki fragments together which are formed on the lagging strand during the process of DNA replication.

Okazaki fragments are tiny pieces of DNA nucleotide which are formed in a discontinued manner  but latter they are joined by DNA ligase enzyme.

Answer: DNA ligase

Explanation: During replication, two new strands are synthesized: The leading strand and the lagging strand.

The leading strand is synthesized in a continuous manner while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short segments called the Okazaki fragments. The leading strand is the strand whose 5'->3' synthesis is in the direction of the fork movement while the lagging strand is the strand whose 5'->3' synthesis is in the direction opposite to the fork movement. The Okazaki fragments are joined by an enzyme known as DNA ligase. DNA ligase is one of the enzymes involved in DNA replication which catalyzes the joining of two or more polynucleotide chains.

If a cell contains 95% water and is put into a beaker with 100% water, what will happen
Kisachek [45]

Answer: The quantity of water in the beaker will reduce. The cell will increase size.

Explanation: There is difference in water concentration between the cell and the beaker, therefore water will move from the beaker into the cell causing the cell to expand and the quantity of water in the beaker to decrease. There will be movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration (beaker) to an area of low water concentration (the cell) through a selectively permeable cell membrane. The aim of this is to create an equilibrium between the water concentration in the cell and that in the beaker.
