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.

ivann1987 [24]

Hi there!

Photosynthesis involves carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the reactants with glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) as the products. We can write a basic chemical equation:

CO_{2} + H_{2} O - (light) -> C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}  + O_{2}

The equation has to be balanced, so the final equation for photosynthesis would be:

6CO_{2} + 6H_{2} O - (light) -> C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}  + 6O_{2}

The chemicals in correct order are:

CO_{2}\\H_{2}O\\ C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\\ O_{2}

Living plants may be valuable additions to science classrooms. Which is the most important safety consideration when planning to
NikAS [45]
Hi there!

Because the question here is asking what the safety considerations of a plant in the classroom are, not the care considerations, we can safely narrow this down to one correct solution...

<span>D. Do the plants have any poisonous parts?
</span>
Considering this is the only answer that deals with the safety aspect of plants near children, "D. Do the plants have any poisonous parts?" is the correct answer.
