A cat is discovered with a very short tail. Checking offspring for short tails will <span>prove that this change was caused by a genetic mutation and not because the cat lost most of its tail at some point in its life.</span>
Telomerase is involved in adding DNA to the end of the lagging strand.
At the ends of linear chromosomes (telomeres), telomerase uses its built-in RNA template to extend the parent DNA template near the end of the lagging strand, providing room for an RNA primer so that lagging strand synthesis can be completed to the end of the chromosome
Hello!
Chemical reactions require energy to begin. The reactants must collide with enough energy for bonds to change. This energy is known as activation energy - the difference in energy between that of the reactants and the amount needed for the reaction to occur.
Catalysts lower the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur, therefore also increasing the rate of a reaction. Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts within cells.
Therefore, enzymes cause the activation energy to lower.
Hope this helps!
