In eukaryotes, the DNA strands are linear, and DNA polymerase can't replicate the very ends of the DNA strands! These ends are "protected" by repeated sequences called "telomeres." Either the chromosome gets shorter with each replication, or else a special enzyme-nucleic acid complex called telomerase adds new telomeres to the ends. A prokaryotic chromosome is circular and thus does not have the problem of having ended.
<span>Eukaryotic DNA is wound around histones, coiled, and supercoiled -- to replicate it, there have to be unwinding mechanisms, and mechanisms to reduce the degree of coiling. In prokaryotes, the winding problem is much less, and there aren't any histones.</span>
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Both of the original DNA strands act as templates during replication. This option is correct.
Answer:
An enzyme is a protein, and proteins need certain temperatures to function optimally, or even function. Temperature may unfold the protein and may stop its functioning, or it may fold the protein into the correct formation to function. But by the way your question asks, EXCESS heat would denature the enzyme and cease function.
