Semi-conservative replication is meant for the description of DNA replication and it i s called so because parent DNA helix produces two copies of original DNA, one of which consist of original DNA.
The three main steps in DNA replication includes Initiation, Elongation and Termination.
In the initiation phase, replication begins at origin of replication where helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs and tends to unwind the double helix where the topoisomerase stabilizes the newly formed single strand DNA. DNA polymerase allows elongation to occur in leading direction and catalyses the addition of new nucleotide to new single strands. short sequences of RNA called primers paired to template strands with the help of primase. replication of both strands occurs at the same time one in continuous (3'-5') and other in discontinuous (5'-3') direction, which are called leading strands. new nucleotides added in 3' end and moving to replication fork while discontinuous synthesis occur on parent strand (5'-3') called lagging strand and completed in segments called okazaki fragments. Then primase add primers ahead at 5' end of the lagging strand. DNA polymerase ||| adds short sequences of nucleotides to the primer. During termination, exonuclease replaces DNA primer and DNA nucleotide and DNA ligase helps in making bonding between fragments and replaced nucleotide. Another exonuclease helps in proofreading the newly formed DNA and corrects the errors in sequences. At the end of the parent strands, telomeres are present which keeps on catalyzing by telomerase and completes, the formation of copies of parent DNA.
The function of the sodium bicarbonate in this experiment, was providing carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to occur. ... For photosynthesis to happen for a light independent reaction, carbon dioxide needs to enter the plant.
There are three main factors that affect the mutation rates in an organism. The three are: 1. <span>Frequency of Primary Changes in DNA 2. </span><span>Probability of Repair 3. </span><span>Probability of Recognition</span>
The following cause that is not
considered in the formation of a Dust Bowl is the lack of farmers in Oklahoma. The
answer is letter B. in fact, the number of farmers increases due to the high
grain prices of Worl War I that encourages farmers to plow millions of acres of
natural grass to plant wheat.
