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>

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Option A, hydrophilic/hydrophobic forces

Explanation:

The cytoplasmic membrane consists of phospholipids which have both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions and hence are amphipathic in nature. Due to this structural complexity, phospholipids produces barrier both at the interior and exterior of cell and hence form a membrane bilayer under suitable conditions. For instance when it is in water, it arrange itself in a way that their hydrophobic tails lie at the inner side and hydrophilic heads face outer side.  

Hence, option A is correct

How does gene expression lead to differentiation
ExtremeBDS [4]
Every cell of the organism has the same DNA sequence and same genes. However, not all genes are expressed in every single cell at the same time. Only those genes necessary for a specialised function of a specialised cell are expressed in the specialised cell. For example, skin cells have some different proteins than nerve cells. Genes responsible for those "skin proteins" are activated in skin cells and are turned off in nerve cells.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

There are four possible combinations of gametes for the AaBb parent. Half of the gametes get a dominant A and a dominant B allele; the other half of the gametes get a recessive a and a recessive b allele. Both parents produce 25% each of AB, Ab, aB, and ab.
