Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.
Answer:
A) DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication.
Explanation:
DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strand from the template strands. Both the strands in a DNA molecule act as templates, however both of them have different orientation. It was observed that 3'-5' template DNA produced a new DNA strand continuously in one step. However, 5'-3' template produced new DNA strand in fragments which were joined together later. This observation gave the idea that DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme. It synthesizes DNA in 5'-3' direction so 3'-5' template gave rise to a continuous DNA segment. However, for 5'-3' template, DNA polymerase had to synthesize in opposite direction i.e. 3'-5' which was not possible directly. So the enzyme replicates it in short separate fragments which are later joined by DNA ligase.
D. The hypothesis makes predictions about an experiment
Answer:
The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.
Answer:
Neurodegeneration
Explanation:
The term neurodegeneration refers to a group of disorders which are characterized by a progressive waste of function or structure of neurons, that in worst cases can include death of neaurons.
Many neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease,– including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease can occur due to neurodegeneration.
Neurodegeneration can manifest itself in various forms such as lack of physical and intellectual abilities like inability to use muscles or memory loss. These disorders cannot be completely cured and ultimately lead to the death of neurons.
As mentioned in the question, the person suffers from progressive loss of intellectual and physical abilities that has occurred over the course of a long period of time. Therefore, it is most probable that he is having some neurodegenerative disorder.
Hope it helps!
