Fossils can be classified by their morphology (how they look), ethologically (how they acted), and toponomically (where they are in the substrate layers) to produce phylogenetic trees. However, more recent advances in genetic technology allow us to extract DNA from more recent fossils that have not had too much breakdown of the DNA, and we can much more accurately classify species from that information, and also provide much more accurate phylogenetic analysis.

Which of the following is/are required for the polymerization reaction catalyzed by DNA polymerase III?
Temka [501]

Answer:

D. I, IV, VI, and VII

Explanation:

DNA polymerase III has both 5' to 3' polymerization activity and 3' to 5' exonuclease activity (the proofreading). DNA pol III requires divalent magnesium ions for its polymerization and proofreading activities. Here, the magnesium ions serve as cofactor.

DNA polymerase III cannot start the process of synthesis of new DNA strand de novo and uses an RNA primer synthesized by primase enzyme. The polymerization activity of DNA polymerase III elongates the RNA primer in 5' to 3' direction. The primers are removed by 5' to 3' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I.

During polymerization, the DNA polymerase III uses existing DNA strand as a template. The four dNTPs namely deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP), deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP), deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) and deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) are added to the RNA primer according to the sequence of DNA template.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Skin serves as a protective barrier, a way to sense the world, and a layer that keeps nutrients and water inside the body. Four types of cells make up the skin, and they are produced mainly in the epidermis near the basement membrane. Keratinocytes contain structural keratin and make up the bulk of the epidermis.
