Answer:

In DNA replication, gaps between newly synthesized segments of DNA and existing segments of DNA are sealed by enzymes called<u> ligases</u>, which form covalent bonds between the two segments.

Explanation:

During DNA replication, there is a continuous strand of DNA and fragments of DNA called Okazaki fragments. The DNA ligase will join the Okazaki fragments using ATP's energy and creating a covalent bond between the phosphate of a nucleotide in an Okazaki fragment and the sugar of a nucleotide in another Okazaki fragment. As a result, there are two continuous DNA fragments.

Based on their function, you would expect melanocytes in the skin to have a higher than usual number of ribosomes.

Ribosomes are cell structures that functions as the site of biological protein synthesis. Ribosomes are present in all living cells where they produce proteins required for many cellular functions. Ribosomes join amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA molecules. Ribosomes are made up of two parts which are; the large subunits (which connect amino acids to create a polypeptide chain) and the small ribosomal subunits (which read the RNA).

Which of the following is a reason why sticky end producing restriction enzymes are preferred compared to blunt end ones?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

D) Because sticky ends can be temporarily held together by hydrogen bonding between the two strands.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific restriction sites and by the mechanism of action they can form two types of ends:

  • sticky ends-single-stranded overhangs are formed
  • blunt ends-without overhangs.

The main advantage of sticky ends (their overhangs) is that they can complementary bind to another overhand formed by the same restriction enzyme. So, for example in cloning, if the DNA of interest and plasmid vector are cut with the same restriction enzyme, that  forms sticky ends, fragment of DNA will fit into a bacterial plasmid in one direction.

On the other hand, blunt ends can be inserted into vector in both directions: head-to-tail or tail-to-head.
