Answer:

B. Enzyme activity that uses an RNA template and reverse transcription in a series of repeat cycles

Explanation:

In eukaryotic linear chromosomes, the lagging strands at terminal do not get replicated in usual manner because it is a special case. The problem with terminal lagging strand (which is synthesized in a discontinuous manner) is that there is no template for its primer synthesis. In such scenario, an enzyme known as telomerase recognizes telomeres and extend it's 3' overhang through its reverse transcriptase activity which is facilitated by it's RNA component specifically. This RNA has repeat sequences which are complimentary to the telomeric repeats and therefore it acts as a template for the extension of 3' overhang.

Here, it may be noted that the leading strand does not require any terminal primer for replication because the replication process for it is continuous i.e. only one primer is required which is synthesized in the beginning of replication so there is no need of synthesizing primer again and again.

Individuals producing an abnormal form of the extracellular matrix protein, fibrillin, is a result of ______.
erastova [34]

Answer:

Indivisuals with producing an abnormal form of extracellular protein fibrillin are suffering from Marfan syndrome ehich is caused by genetic mutation in the FBN1 gene.

Explanation:

Gene mutations in FBN1 gene results in the production of an abnormal extracellular matrix fibrillin-1 protein that cannot function properly. These gene mutations basically reduce the amount of fibrillin-1 produced by the cell, alter the structure of fibrillin-1, or causes the impairment of the transport of fibrillin-1 out of the cell.

As a result, protein is poorly incorporated into extracellular matrix. Hence, indivisuals with Marfan syndrome present following symptoms

Tall stature.

Disproportionately long arms, legs and fingers.

Sternum either protrudes outward or dips inward.

Arched palate and crowded teeth.

Heart murmurs.

Extreme nearsightedness.
