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:

Living organisms are adapted to their environment. This means that the way they look, the way they behave, how they are built, or their way of life makes them suited to survive and reproduce in their habitats. For example, giraffes have very long necks so that they can eat tall vegetation, which other animals cannot reach. The eyes of cats are like slits. That makes it possible for the cat's eyes to adjust to both bright light, when the slits are narrow, and to very dim light, when the slits are wide open.

Behavior is also an important adaptation. Animals inherit many kinds of adaptive behavior. In southern Africa there are small animals called meerkats, which live in large colonies. The meerkats take turns standing on their hind legs, looking up at the sky to spot birds of prey. Meanwhile, the meerkats in the rest of the colony go about their lives. You can probably think of many other features of body or behavior that help animals to lead a successful life.

In biology, an ecological niche refers to the overall role of a species in its environment. Most environments have many niches. If a niche is "empty" (no organisms are occupying it), new species are likely to evolve to occupy it. This happens by the process of natural selection.

Many fossils of different kinds of horses have been discovered, and paleontologists think that the earliest ancestor of the modern horse lived in North America more than 50 million years ago. This animal was a small padded-foot forest animal about the size of a dog. If you saw one next to a modern horse, you might not even think the two were related! As time passed, the climate of North America became drier, and the vast forests started to shrink. Grasses were evolving, and the amount grassland was increasing. Horses adapted to fill this new grassland niche. They grew taller, and their legs and feet became better adapted to sprinting in the open grasslands. Their eyes also adapted to be further back on their heads to help them to see more of the area around them. Each of these adaptations helped the evolving grassland horses to avoid predators. Their teeth also changed to be better adapted to grinding tough grassland vegetation.

Answer:

Staining

Explanation:

In order to make cells or certain features of a cell more visible under the microscope, scientists use specific stains. These stains bind to certain features in a cell, allowing better distinction. For example, iodine is a common stain used in plant cells, as it turns blue/black in the presence of starch, which is abundant in plant cells.

adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is "chloroplasts and mitochondria".

Explanation:

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are two essential organelles because of its function of producing Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "molecular unit of currency". Chloroplasts are organelles that are found in plants and work in light conditions, whereas mitochondria could produce ATP in the dark. Since the biologist found that the heavier fraction could produce ATP in light it is very likely that it will have chloroplasts, while the light fraction that produces ATP in the dark would likely have mitochondria.
