The DNA replication by the action of DNA polymerase takes place in the 3' to 5' direction on the leading strand. The lagging strand which has the opposite orientation or polarity as that of the leading strand requires a more time to get synthesised. The DNA replication of the lagging strand happens in short segments where a RNA primer forms a compliment with a part of the DNA segment on its 3' end. This RNA primer helps initiate the replication of the Okazaki fragments. When the replication on the lagging strand reaches its end, the RNA primer forms a compliment with the last bit of the strand. This small segment gets missed in the end as no more DNA is left to form a RNA primer-DNA compliment. Such shortening of the lagging strand in the replication process is the end-replication problem.
Telomeres are protective ends of the DNA strands. These ends contain a poly-A tail. When the lagging strand replication reaches its end, the RNA primer forms a compliment with the telomere and initiates the replication. This leads to the shortening of the telomere and not the coding segments on the lagging strand of DNA. The telomerase repairs the shortened telomere by re-synthesising it.
Hey again,
The answer you are looking for is B).
Just as proteins consist of long chains of amino acids, DNA and RNA consists of nucleic acid chains called nucleotide's. Nucleotide's are composed of three units: base, sugar (monosaccharide) and phosphate. Bases are found in both DNA and RNA. As seen below, they are adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil.
Hope this helps!!!!!!

Answer:
The solute is powdered drink mix
Explanation:
The solute is powdered drink mix is solute because solute is any substance that dissolves in a solvent while solvent is the substance that dissolve solute or the dissolving medium. When solute dissolve in solvent it is called solution.
Solution is an homogeneous mixture of substance which comprises of solute that dissolve in solvent.
Answer:
conclusion
Explanation:
A conclusion summarizes the report by drawing inferences from the entire project and the impact of the findings or decisions. In the conclusion, you restate the hypothesis and summarize your main points of evidence for the objectives.
Oceanic crust is constantly formed at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are tearing apart from each other. As magma that wells up from these rifts in Earth's surface cools, it becomes young oceanic crust. ... Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones.
