Answer:
B) Polymerases can only synthesize in the 5' to 3' direction
Explanation:
The leading strand's directionality is 3' to 5', so polymerase has no problem with replicating this one. But the lagging strand has the opposite directionality, so the polymerase must work in the opposite direction of the replication fork.In consequence, the replication process undergoes periodic breaks, and the enzymes have to stop and start again while helicase separates both strands, resulting in the polymerization of okazaki fragments.
Answer:
The correct answer is: Attachment.
Explanation:
- Pilus are thread like structures which are present on the surface of the bacterial cell.
- They are mainly responsible for attaching the bacterial cells to a substrate, for obtaining food or to an eukaryotic cell for the purpose of infection.
- Pilus also mediate the process of conjugation in some bacterial cells.
- Conjugation is a process by which genetic material or plasmids are transferred from one bacteria to another through a channel formed in between the two bacteria by the help of the pilus.
- Pilus also helps the bacteria by preventing them from getting recognised by the immune cells in the host.
- A defective pilus will affect all the above processes, resulting in death of the bacteria.
He used Pea plants to help him find the laws of inheritance. He crossed homozygous (AA) tall plants with short (aa) plants and found that all of the off spring were tall, due to the fact that tall is dominant and short is recessive. He then conducted another experiment where all the offspring mated (all offspring were heterozygous (Aa)) And produced the F1 generation and 25 percent of the plants were short (use a punnet square to see why) and 75 percent were tall.
I hope this response helped :) If u have anymore q about mendelian genetics pls lmk !
Answer:
The conditions under which a particular enzyme is most active are called the optimum conditions
Explanation:
When an enzyme is most active the rate of the biological reaction it catalyses is highest. The bacterium Thermus aquaticus lives in hot springs. Its enzymes have an optimum temperature of around 70 oC.
