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>

Why has electricity increased so much over the past 20 years
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

It’s been more than two decades since Britain’s retail electricity market was opened to full competition in 1999. Before that, retail supply was provided by state-owned entities with regional monopolies. Today, all consumers, including households and businesses, are able to “shop around” for their electricity, switching to a different supplier or tariff to take advantage of better prices and services.

In principle, that is exactly what liberalised retail markets are supposed to provide: greater consumer choice and protections. But that’s only the case if it’s easy for consumers to switch suppliers and for new suppliers to enter the market. That’s how markets are supposed to stay competitive to deliver low prices and a high quality of service. That was the great hope of electricity policy in 1999, but after two decades, there’s little to celebrate.

To enhance competition, smaller suppliers have been exempt from contributing towards the cost of decarbonisation policies. Known as “the threshold obligation”, this encouraged the entry of smaller companies into Britain’s retail electricity market, but the increase from six suppliers in 1999 to more than 70 in 2019 came at a cost. Many new suppliers have gone bankrupt due to unsustainable business models, resulting in consumers footing unpaid industry bills
