DNA replication of the leading and lagging strand

The helicase unzips the double-stranded DNA for replication, making a forked structure. The primase generates short strands of RNA that bind to the single-stranded DNA to initiate DNA synthesis by the DNA polymerase. This enzyme can work only in the 5' to 3' direction, so it replicates the leading strand continuously. Lagging-strand replication is discontinuous, with short Okazaki fragments being formed and later linked together.

Frederick Griffith made a scientific discovery in 1928. Which best describes the knowledge about genetics before 1928?

zubka84 [21]

Frederick Griffith's discovery on the theory of genetics is credited to his experiment on mice. He subjected them to different strains of pneumonia bacteria. He concluded that there is an unidentified force that leads to the formation of different strains from what the mice were subjected to. This leads to the discovery of DNA, the carrier of traits. Scientist before did not know how the trait is passed on not until Griffith's experiment.

a review of cladogram shows a common ancestor for these four types of vertebrates. which statement best explains the genetics re

oksano4ka [1.4K]

I had this same question, so I believe I know what cladogram it is. If I am correct, the answer is that lizards and snakes are more genetically alike than lizards and birds. The cladogram shows that a common ancestor exists between these four vertebrates, but the statement that best explains the genetics showed by this cladogram is that lizards and snakes are more genetically alike than lizards and birds. Hope this helps! (:
