Answer: gaps left at the 5' end of the lagging strand.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic Chromosomes are known as the repetitive at the very ends of chromosomes, found in a wide range of Eukaryotic species. They protect the end chromosomes from deterioration or fusion with the neighboring chromosomes.

Telomeres provide a mechanism for their replication by semi conservative DNA replication (a replication in which two parental DNA strands would act as a template for new DNA strands to be synthesized) and length maintenance by Telomerase Enzymes. Telomerase Enzymes are used to extend shortened telomeres during its’ DNA replication.  

DNA replication in Eukaryotic Telomeres doesn’t begins at the either end of the DNA strands but starts in the center, and considering that all known DNA Polymerase ( an enzyme that is essential for DNA replication) read the template strand in the 3’ to 5’ direction, one finds a leading strand and a lagging strand on the DNA molecule being replicated.

On the leading strand, DNA Polymerase make complementary DNA strand without any difficulty because it reads the template strand from 3’ to 5’.

On the other hand, there is a difficulty going in the other direction on the lagging strand.

WHY? This is   “due to gaps left at the 5’ end of the lagging strand”. To overcome this difficulty, short sequences of RNA acting as Primers (a short single-stranded nucleic acid utilized by all living organisms in the initiation of DNA synthesis) attach to the lagging strand, a short distance ahead of where the initiation site was.

I hope this helps alot!

PLEASE HELP! Write a short story describing how these organelles work together to perform the functions of the cell. The organel
lianna [129]
The ER makes proteins and the nucleus holds the DNA of the cell. So proteins are manufactured according to instructions encoded in the genes in the nucleus. These genes are now transcripted into RNA then leaves the nucleus and interacts with ribosomes on the ER, which now links amino acids together to form protein chains. The Cell Membrane is a selective barrier on the boundary of every cell. Its function is to allow the passage of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes to service the entire volume of th cell. The lysosomes are digestive organelles where macromolecules and other wastes are hydrolyzed by enzymes. Their main function is to process the molecules taken in through the cell membrane and to recycle won out cell parts. After ribosome synthesize proteins, the proteins are transported into the rough E.R. Then, proteins are enclosed into a vesicle and transported to the golgi apparatus, where processing, packaging, and transport of proteins is done. After the protein is processed, it will then bud off from the golgi apparatus (as vesicles) and transport to wherever it is needed. The nucleus is responsible for making the RNA, which is then sent to the E.R. Next, the E.R. sends the RNA to the ribosomes, where they link amino acids together to form protein chains. The E.R gets the RNA from the nucleus and sends it to the ribosomes to make proteins. The rough E.R specializes in protein synthesis, which means the ribosomes will attach to the E.R and synthesize the proteins. Next, the proteins enter the lumen space (interior of E.R) where they can be modified. Lastly, the proteins are sent off to the lumen of the smooth E.R.
