Answer:

primase - unwinded parental double helix DNA, no replication.

DNA ligase - new double helix DNA, one old strand and okazaki fragments

DNA polymerase 1 - original DNA strands, daughter strands with primers still attached.

Explanation:

The primase enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of RNA primer which binds with unwinded DNA strands at the origin of replications and serves as a starting chain for the daughter strands. Hence, their absence during replication will lead to the discontinuation of the replication process after the unwinding of the double helix structure by the helicase enzyme.

DNA ligase functions as to join fragments of DNA synthesized discontinuously (okazaki fragments) during replication. Okazaki fragments are generated after replication of the leading and the lagging strands have been complete. Hence, the absence of the DNA ligase will result in the lagging strands existing as a lone strand along with the okazaki fragments and a newly replicated DNA consisting of one old leading strand and its newly synthesized complimentary strand.

The DNA polymerase 1 is responsible for the removal of RNA primers and replacing them with DNA nucleotides after the elongation process. Hence, the absence of the enzyme will cause incomplete replication process.

Scilla [17]

Answer: B. Vacuoles, cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria

Explanation:

Cell walls only belong to plants, and chloroplasts also only belong to plants. Besides that everything else belongs to both, and that means that B is the only right answer.

Se efectúa un experimento en el que a la planta 1 se le suministra CO2 normal pero agua que contiene átomos de oxígeno radiactiv
algol [13]

Answer:

The Oxygen liberated in photosynthesis comes from photolysis of water.

The CHO formed from Calvin Cycle during photosynthesis comes from reduction of CO2 with H+ of photolysis of water.

Therefore,since Plant 1 contains labeled Oxygen(from water) it will give radioactive Oxygen as the byproduct of its photosynthesis. It CHO is normal.

However,Plant 2, will contain radioactive CHO,because its radioactive CO2 will be reduced by H+  from photolysis of water to form radioactive labeled  carbohydrate(CHO)

how do you identify a pure metal if you have a balance of a graduated cylinder and a table of densities for metals?
sattari [20]
We determine the mass of the metal in grams by weighing it using the balance. Next we obtain the volume of the metal by measuring its displacement with a graduated cylinder and water in the following way: 1.measure amount of water in the graduated cylinder. 2. Place metal into the graduated cylinder 3. Measure the amount of water in the graduated cylinder 4. Subtract step 1 from step 3. The difference is the metal's volume. Once we have found out the mass and the volume then we calculate the density using the formula: Density = Mass/Volume. We then check our answer from the known densities of metals in the table of densities that has been provided and determine the identity and purity of the metal by how close our answer is to the most probable value in the table.

In a long bone, the osteons are:
Margarita [4]

Answer:

B. lined up perpendicular to the long axis of the bone, in the direction of perforating canals.

Explanation:

Osteons are formations of concentric bone layers (lamellae) that tend to <em>run parallel to the long axis of a bone.</em> They sorround the Haversian canal, a canal that contains blood vessels that supply the osteocytes and are the structural unit of compact bone.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
