Answer:

(B) adding the free nucleotides to the complementary strand of DNA

Explanation:

A DNA polymerase is an enzyme capable of creating new DNA molecules by sequentially adding nucleotides to the three prime (3')-end of a DNA strand. A DNA strand is a polynucleotide chain composed of a linear series of nucleotides, each consisting of a deoxyribose sugar, and phosphate, and a base (i.e., thymine, guanine, cytosine and adenine). Before a cell starts to divide, it needs first to replicate its genetic material by using DNA polymerases that duplicate the cell's DNA during the interphase (S phase). During this process (DNA replication), an enzyme known as helicase unwinds the DNA molecule, which is made up of two antiparallel strands oriented in opposite 3′-5′ directions to each other. Subsequently, each strand is used as a template for its replication through DNA polymerases that can add nucleotides (one at time) to an existing short fragment of RNA, i.e., the primer sequence, which is paired with the template DNA strand.

Serga [27]

Answer:

On the basis of the given information, that is, the ape exhibiting small incisors and biphodant molars, shows that they generally consume fruits and seeds as the prime part of their diet. Thus, mainly the apes feed on fruits, leaves, and seeds, thus it makes them vegetarian.  

However, it has also been observed that canine teeth are found in both males and females, though they are larger in males. This shows that apes can consume meat from small birds and animals occasionally.

katovenus [111]

The another are differentiated from the anamniotes by the presence of their terrestrially adapted eggs. These eggs are protected by amniotic membranes. Development of these membranes have provided another with their own aquatic environment needed for development.

The development of amniotic membrane is a characteric of amniotic eggs. These membranes include: chorion' facilitating the exchange of gases between the embryo and the mother; amnion, protection the embryo from injuries and shock and also aiding hydration; allantois, excretion of nitrogenous waste such as urea and uric acid etc and also help in respiration.

Another characteristics is waterproof skin due to the presence of lipids.

Another is the existence of costal rib ventilation of the lungs: enables of loss of CO2 through the lungs rather than buccal pumping as foumd in anamniotes.
