Answer:

join DNA fragments by the formation of phosphodiester bonds.

Explanation:

DNA ligase is an enzyme which has the role to join fragments of DNA after they are being cleaved with endonucleases. This enzyme is also important in DNA replication, because it links the ends after the excision of primer in lagging DNA strand.

DNA ligase is also used in the cloning of DNA: vector DNA and foreign DNA contain compatible ends(after treatment with the same restriction enzymes) that can be joined together by molecular ligation via DNA ligase enzyme.

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about genetic recombination. involves the transfer of genetic material from one
Tresset [83]

The right matches are:

• Involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

• Involves scraps of genetic material ==> Transformation.

• Uses a virus to transmit genetic material ==> Transduction.

• Uses a pilus to transmit genetic information ==> Conjugation.

• Introduces new genetic material to a bacterium ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

In molecular biology the term genetic recombination is often used as a synonym for DNA recombination, that is, the processes by which one DNA (or RNA) molecule is cut off, then joined to another.

There are three possible mechanisms in the bacterium: bacterial conjugation, bacterial transformation and transduction.

The diagram represents a model of DNA replication.
mr_godi [17]

Although there is no attachment, the best answer would be option B.

DNA replication occurs in opposite directions along a strand of DNA.

The leading strand is replicated continuously in the 5' to 3' direction towards the replication fork.

The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in the 5' to 3' with segments of DNA known as Okazaki fragments.

BARSIC [14]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>1 Pulse oximetry of 90%
2 Body temperature of 99° F
3 Heart rate of 40 bpm
4 Respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute
</span>
The correct answer is "heart rate of 40 bpm". A heart rate of 40 bpm is classified as bradycardia. Bradycardia is defined as a slow heart rate below 60 bpm. A heart rate below 50 bpm is more than alarming to the health practitioner and suctioning should be stopped to give way for immediate intervention. A oxygen saturation of 90%, while below normal range of 95%-100%, is still considered safe. A body temperature of 99 degrees F and a respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute is considered normal.
