The first step in DNA replication is to ‘unzip’ the double helix structure of the DNA molecule. This is carried out by an enzyme called helicase which breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the complementary bases of DNA together. The separation of two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape called the replication ‘fork’. The two separated strands will act as templates for making the new strands of DNA. One of the strands is oriented in the 5’ to 3’ direction (towards the replication fork), this is the leading strand. The other strand is oriented in the 3’ to 5’ direction (away from the replication fork), this is the lagging strand. As a result of their different orientations, the two strands are replicated differently.

For the leading strand:
A short piece of RNA called primer (produced b an enzyme called primase) comes along and binds to the end of the leading strand. The primer acts as the starting point for DNA synthesis. DNA polymerase binds to the leading strand and then ‘walks’ along it, adding new complementary nucleotide bases to the strands in the 5’ to 3’ direction. This is called continuous.  

For the lagging strand:
Numerous RNA primers are made by the primase enzyme and bind at various points along the aging strand. Chunks of DNA called Okazaki fragments are then added to the lagging strand also in the 5’ to 3’ direction. This type of replication is called discontinuous as the Okazaki fragments will need to be joined up later.

Once all the bases are matched up, an enzyme called exonuclease strips away the primer(s). The gaps where the primer(s) were are then filed by yet more complementary nucleotides. The new strand is proofread to make sure there are no mistakes in the new DNA sequence. Finally, an enzyme called DNA ligase seals up the sequence of DNA into two continuous double strands. During the zipping up of the DNA molecule, there is a possibility that the pairing of bases get shuffled and thus cause for mutation. The result of DNA replication is two DNA molecules consisting of one new and one old chain of nucleotides. The answer is C.</span>

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Sugar metabolism , DNA replication  and lipid synthesis.

Explanation:

The pathways or the phenomenon is very fundamental that takes place in all the living organisms.

These processes are fundamental to life and is vital for the growth and development of the organism. The cell proliferation and growth is also very essential in case of bacteria.

hence, these processes are highly conserved from one species to another species.

When an athlete eats more protein or amino acids than he or she needs, the extra amino acids are?
Rzqust [24]

When an athlete eats more protein or amino acids than he or she needs, the extra amino acids are either used in building the muscle tissues or are used in energy expenditure.

Proteins are the macromolecules composed of amino acid as polymers. Protein is an essential food component because it helps in the synthesis and repair of body parts, it help in growth and development, and also provides fuel to the body.

Muscle tissues are the ones responsible for the movement of the complete body. The tissues are rich in blood supply. They are of three categories: skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Any movement in body is possible only because of the contractions and relaxations of muscles.

What is true about organisms that are a part of the same clade?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The correct answer is B. They evolved from a shared ancestor

Explanation:

In biology, the word clay refers to a set of organisms that have a common ancestor and because of this, they are placed in the same ramification or branch in a phylogenic tree, which allows biologists to classify organisms in groups. For example, all birds are believed to have a common ancestor and therefore they formed a clade. However, belonging to the same clade does not imply the same exact classification, identical phylogenies or characteristics because these depend on each species and varies due to the evolution process. Therefore the statement that is true about organisms that are part of the same clad ie that they evolved from a shared ancestor.
