The template DNA for the leading strand is easier to unwind than the template DNA for the lagging strand.

Biology
1 answer:
Rom4ik [11]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

Prior to the replication of a DNA strand or molecule, the double stranded DNA molecule needs to be unwound i.e. separated into two single strands. One strand called the LEADING STRAND that runs from the 3' - 5' direction while the other strand called the LAGGING STRAND runs from the 5' - 3' direction.

The unwinding of the DNA template is carried out by an enzyme called DNA HELICASE, which binds to the DNA molecule and unwinds the double strands into two strands at the same time. This means that the unwinding into leading or lagging strand is not easier than the other since it occurs simultaneously, hence, this question is FALSE.

D. temperature and pH

Answer;

D. temperature and pH

The two factors affect an enzyme's operation the most is the temperature and pH.

Explanation;

Enzymes work best at optimum pH and temperature.

At low temperature for example the enzymes are inactivated while at high temperatures enzymes are denatured.

Name and describe the three methods of classification used to construct a phylogenetic tree.
julia-pushkina [17]
In evolutionary biology, phylogenetic trees are used to exhibit and illustrate the evolutionary relationships of two or more organisms, and identify the origins of life altogether. To achieve this, there are three methods of classification which are phonetics, cladistics, and taxonomic groups.

Which of the following does NOT help increase conversion of short-term to long-term memories?
Contact [7]

Answer:

Memory consolidation

Explanation:

Short term memory is stored in the brain for relatively short period of time especially for few minutes. Long term memory is stored in brain for long period ( years or lifetime).

Short term memory can be converted into the long term memory by association, rehearsal and involved with emotional state. Memory consolidation is the process of learning new things and store them in previously stored memories. Hence, memory consolidation does not increase the conversion of short memory to long term memory.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
