In DNA there are two types of strands, 5'/5 prime, which is the strand, aka the leading strand.
There is also the 3' strand which is the lagging strand.
The difference between these two is the the leading strand is discontinous during replication, they must create ozaki fragments.
The other lagging strand can just have the whole strand replicated at the same time

Answer:

Leading goes one way and is continuous. Lagging has sections done, and goes in the opposite direction, so is slower, or “lagging”.

In order for high force crossbridges to form in contracting skeletal muscle, calcium must a. bind to calmodulin to phosphorylate

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

e. bind to troponin which moves the tropomyosin.

Explanation:

Troponin (Tn) is a protein complex composed of three different proteins: troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). This complex is found both in skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles, where TnC attaches calcium ions through four and three calcium ion-binding sites, respectively. When a muscle is relaxed, Tn attaches to tropomyosin to prevent muscle contraction. During muscle contraction, calcium channels open and cytosolic calcium ions bind to TnC, thereby Tn changes its conformation and moves the tropomyosin. This process relieves the inhibition of the interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which makes muscle contraction possible.

Students are modeling mRNA during the process of protein synthesis. Which answer choice correctly describes the model of the mRN

ivanzaharov [21]

The mRNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand; however, uracil instead of thymine is paired with adenine.

This is referred to as ribonucleic acid with its base adenine being paired with uracil.

The mRNA strand which is known as messenger RNA is complementary to the DNA template strand and carries protein information from the DNA to cytoplasm for appropriate translation.
