The correct answer is: DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes DNA during the DNA replication by adds nucleotides to the 3’ end of a primer. This means that the new chain is formed in a 5’ → 3’ direction.
Because double-stranded DNA is antiparallel, DNA polymerase moves in opposite directions on the two strands-leading and lagging strand.
The leading strand is copied continuously since DNA polymerase is moving towards the replication fork. The lagging strand is copied discontinuous. DNA polymerase is moving away from the replication fork (and helicase that separates the strands), so it must constantly return to copy newly separated stretches of DNA. So, the lagging strand is copied as a series of short fragments-Okazaki fragments that are joined together by a combination of DNA pol I and DNA ligase.
Answer:
Explanation:
Aldosterone is a hormone which is produced by the adrenal glands which are present above the kidneys. The role of aldosterone is to regulate the blood pressure. It causes the reabsorption of water and salts into the bloodstream during the kidney filteration process. Hence, maintains the blood volume, restors blood pressure and salt level.
Renin is an enzyme. It facilitates chemical reactions which stimulates the synthesis of angiotension II, it directs the synthesis of aldosterone.
Nonpolar and small polar molecules<span> can pass </span>through the cell membrane<span>, so they diffuse </span>across<span> it in response to concentration gradients.

Answer: false
Explanation:
Both plant and animal cells contain chloroplasts. Plant cells do NOT contain mitochondria. Most plant cells contain two or more vacuoles. Plant cells contain a large central vacuole.
