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.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Carmen has most likely been diagnosed with depression.

Explanation:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are most commonly prescribed to treat depression. These drugs treat depression by increasing levels of serotonin in the brain, which is one of the neurotransmitters that carry signals between neurons. They block the reabsorption of serotonin into neurons, which makes more serotonin available to improve the transmission of messages between neurons and thus ease the symptoms of the disorder.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Pleurisy

Explanation:

Pleurisy is a medical condition caused by the inflammation of the pleura membranes. The pleural membranes are vital part of the respiratory system. These membranes which surround the lungs and lines the inner chest wall, help to give cushion and reduce friction in the lungs. When the pleural membranes become inflamed, the surfaces become tough and sticky, thereby causing the sharp pain the person feels in the chest while breathing.
