Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?

melomori [17]

Answer: The correct options are statement first and fourth that is -

It is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.

Leading strand in DNA is the strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction where the replication fork is moving. The movement of replication fork allows the access of template for the new DNA.

The DNA synthesis is continuous in the leading strand. It is synthesized in the 5' to 3' as DNA synthesis always takes place in this direction. This is because dNTP ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) provides free 3' OH group where new dNTP can be added by the enzyme DNA polymerase.

Which part of an individual villus forms part of the lymphatic system and absorbs fats from the lumen of the small intestine?

Lostsunrise [7]

I believe the answer is the lacteals.
Lacteals are structures that are in the middle of each villi; they are lymphatic capillaries that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestines. Triglycerides are emulsified by bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids and monoglycerides. The lacteals merge to form larger lymphatic vessels that transport chyle to the thoracic duct where it is emptied into the blood stream at the subclavian vein.

Answer:

Newer layers of earth form on top of older layers, so as we dig, we can see further back in time. Comparing the fossils between the layers can offer evidence of change.

Phyletic gradualism - slow, but constant gradual change; supported by transitional species in the fossil record

Punctuated equilibrium- long periods of no change followed by short periods of rapid change. Can also be supported by the fossil record when no transitional species are found.
