As the two parental (template) DNA strands separate at a replication fork, each of the strands is separately copied by a DNA pol

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Synthesis of leading strand:

daughter strand elongate towards replication fork

only one primer is needed

made continuously

Synthesis of the lagging strand:

multiple primers needed

daughter strand elongates away from replication fork

made in segments

Synthesis of both:

synthesized in 5' to 3'

Explanation:

The replication of DNA involves the unwinding of the double helix structure by the helicase enzyme after which RNA primer binds to form a bubble known as the replication fork.

DNA can only be replicated in the 5' to 3' direction because the polymerase that is responsible for the elongation of new strands can only add nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction.

Hence, the leading strand is replicated continuously in this direction while the lagging strand is replicated discontinuously or fragments known as the okazaki fragments. The discontinuous replication of the lagging strand therefore requires different primers biding at multiple sites on the DNA strand.

Because of the nature of replication of the lagging strand, the elongation of the fragments moves away from the replication fork while that of the leading strand moves towards the replication fork.

Characteristics of α, β, and γ rays

Allisa [31]

Answer:

1. it is symbolized as 4/2 He : Alpha rays

2. it has the weakest penetrating power : Alpha rays

3. It is a high-speed electron : beta rays

4. It possesses neither mass nor charge : gamma rays

5. it has the strongest penetrating power : beta rays

6. its is symbolized as 0/-1e : beta rays

7. it is the most massive of all the components: alpha rays

Explanation:

Let us consider the characteristics of each of the given rays.

α rays: These are helium nucleus so are symbolized by $He^{4}_{2}$

Due to two protons and two neutrons unlike beta and gamma rays these are the most massive and thus have least penetrating power among the three given rays.

β rays: These are actually high speed electrons and are symbolized as $^{0}_{-1}e$ . Due to lesser mass than alpha rays they are more penetrating than them however less penetrating than gamma rays.

γ rays : They carry no charge or mass. Due to least massive among the three rays they have highest penetrating power.
