3. The enzyme DNA polymerase works only in the 5' to 3' direction. How does this affect the leading strand and the lagging stran

d?
A. DNA polymerase can work on both the leading and the lagging strand but is much faster on the leading strand.
B. DNA polymerase can use only the leading strand as a template. A different enzyme is used to synthesize DNA on the lagging strand.
C. DNA polymerase can work continuously on the leading strand but works discontinuously on the lagging strand, creating Okazaki fragments.
D. DNA polymerase can work continuously on the leading strand but must flip the lagging strand around before it can work on it.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>DNA polymerase can work continuously on the leading strand and works discontinuously on the lagging strand creating okazaki fragments. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The strands of DNA are anti parallel. One strand has the <em>polarity 5I → 3I </em>and the other has the <em>polarity 3I  → 5I</em> . Thus DNA replication is not similar in these two strands. DNA replication is the function of the enzyme DNA polymerase and it synthesizes DNA strand having <em>polarity  5I → 3I</em>  continuously while the other copy is discontinuous with fragments called <em>okazaki fragments. </em>

Both<em> strands of DNA</em> act as templates and the strand which is replicated continuously is called leading strand and the other which is discontinuously replicated forming okazaki fragments is called <em>lagging strand.</em>

Answer:

The Y chromosome is an accurate indicator of a person's external sex organs.

Explanation:

Since females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome, if you are aware of the presence of a Y chromosome you can safely assume that a person is a male. Therefore, you can assume what external sex organs a male has.

CAM photosynthesis limits CO2 fixation to nighttime hours in order to (A) allow water to enter leaf spaces during the daylight h
bixtya [17]

Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.
