Answer:

The correct answer will be option- true.

Explanation:

The evolution of humans can be just predicted on the basis of the evidence found like fossils which represented the ancestor of humans.

On the basis of these fossils, the oldest fossil found was the fossil which belonged to the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs around 4.4 million to 1.4 million years ago (mya).

The fossil belonged to the species of the genus Australopithecines the most famous of which is Lucy. This fossil bear the characteristics of both humanlike and apelike characters traits like bipedalism, increased brain size and canine teeth. So they are considered the ancestors of the human lineage.

Thus, option-true is the correct answer.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

D) K being transported out of the guard cell.

Explanation:

The movement of water in the terrestrial plants is a very important factor as each cell of the plant require water to survive.

The movement of water is influenced by many physical, chemical and process going on in the plants like transpiration and stomatal opening and closing.

Water posses adhesion and cohesion properties which allow the water molecules to form a bond with other surface and with each other respectively. This allows the movement of water in the xylem by a process called capillary action.

The evaporation of water creates a pressure on the plant to absorb water from the soil but when potassium ions move out of the guard cell of stomata, the guard cells lose turgidity and stomata gets closed.

Thus, Option-D is correct.

matrenka [14]

(Complete question attached)

Answer:

  1. Pol III binds to 3' end of primer B
  2. Poll III moves to 5' to 3',adding DNA nucleotides to primer B
  3. Pol I binds to 5' end primer A
  4. Pol I replaces primer A with DNA
  5. DNA ligase links fragments A and B

Explanation:

Both strands of parental DNA acts as a template for the synthesis of new DNA. The site of synthesis is called replication fork because the daughter strands look similar to <em>two-pronged fork.</em> The strands formed from Okazaki fragments(short sequences of DNA nucleotides) is called the <u>lagging strands,</u> which is synthesized in short fragments and in the opposite direction. While the strand that is synthesized continuously and in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork is called the <u>leading strand.</u> Both strands are synthesized in a 5'→3' direction. DNA ligase join these fragments together.
