Cells only synthesize DNA from the 5′ to the 3′ end, and since double-stranded DNA is complementary, both strands cannot be repl

icated in the same way. How do cells handle this situation? View Available Hint(s) Cells only synthesize DNA from the 5′ to the 3′ end, and since double-stranded DNA is complementary, both strands cannot be replicated in the same way. How do cells handle this situation? The lagging strand is not synthesized at this point. The lagging strand must be synthesized in smaller units that are ultimately attached by the action of DNA ligase. Okazaki fragments are synthesized from both the leading and lagging strands. The lagging strand undergoes a conformational change to make a hairpin structure, which allows DNA synthesis in the proper order.

Answer:

The lagging strand undergoes a conformational change to make a hairpin structure, which allows DNA synthesis in the proper order.

The lagging strand must be synthesized in smaller units that are ultimately attached by the action of DNA ligase.

Explanation:

For DNA synthesis to occur on the lagging template strand, the lagging template strand is oriented in such a way that it forms an hairpin structure with the SSB proteins still in place.

This allows the structure to be in corformation with the rest replisome machinery and also allow the synthesis of DNA in the 5'-3' direction forming okazaki fragments in a discontinous backstitching mechanism which are then sealed toghether by the enzyme Ligase.

How does the support structure of echinoderms differ from that of arthropods?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Arthropods have a tough, non-living outer shell called exoskeleton, which protect their soft bodies while echinoderms have living endoskeletons, which develops within the deeper skin or body tissues and act as their protective covering.Explanation:

otez555 [7]

After a client is treated for a spinal cord injury the health care provider informs the family that the client is a paraplegic. Given the situation the nurse is expected to provide an explanation to the family without using jargon words. Paraplegic is known to be a condition where a patient’s lower extremities are paralyzed.
