The correct answer is True
For peeps in the future, so you dodnt almost get it wrong. Your welcome :3
Answer:
Because the leading strand is synthesized continuously while the lagging strand is discontinuously synthesized.
Explanation:
Two DNA strands have opposite polarity, that is, the 5' end of one strand lies opposite to the 3' end of the other strand. However, DNA replication can occur in 5' to 3' direction only since the formation of phosphodiester bonds require the presence of nucleophile 3' OH to attack the 5' phosphate of an incoming deoxyribonucleotide.
The problem is solved by the synthesis of the leading strand continuously and the synthesis of the lagging strand in a discontinuous manner. Lagging strand synthesis requires the formation of primers and their elongation to form Okazaki fragments that may have few hundreds to few thousands of nucleotides. Removal of primers from Okazaki fragments is followed by joining them together to make the long lagging strand. The discontinuous replication of the lagging strand makes the replication at the leading strand ahead of it.
<u>Answer</u>: freezing
Freezing is defined as the process through which a substance changes its from from a liquid to a solid. As the liquid lava in the example has lost its thermal energy and thus has hardened, the phase change through which it has undergone is freezing. All liquids with the exception of helium undergo freezing then the average energy of the molecules decreases.
Solidification is another term often used to describe this phenomenon. However, it is much more general and can occur due to other factors such as reactions between different chemicals.
