Refer to Animation: Proofreading in DNA Replication. What is the name for the enzyme activity that DNA polymerase has when it re

moves an improperly paired base from the end of the growing strand?

Answer: Though the animation is not provided, proofreading in DNA replication is done by the 3'->5' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase.

Explanation: Proofreading is a process by which the 3'->5' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase double-checks each nucleotide after it is added and removes the mismatched nucleotide.

When a wrong nucleotide is added during replication, translocation of the DNA polymerase to the position where the next nucleotide is to be added is inhibited until the 3'->5' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase double-checks and removes the incorrectly paired nucleotide so that the polymerase can begin replication again.

Meiosis reduces chromosome number and rearranges genetic information. Explain how the reduction and rearrangement are accomplish
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.

The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes

- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)

- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.

The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.

This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation

An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.

This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc
