Answer: B. DNA polymerase checks for errors in base pairing as it helps new DNA strands form.
Explanation: DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a new DNA strand from a DNA template. This process is known as replication. During replication, DNA polymerase rejects incorrect bases before the phosphodiester bond is formed because it has a 3' -> 5' exonuclease activity that double checks every nucleotide that is added to the growing strand. This check allows the enzyme to remove a newly added mismatched base pair.
Answer: if there were no decomposers in an ecosystem then, wastes and the remains of dead organisms would pile up and the nutrients within the waste and dead organisms would not be released back into the ecosystem.
Explanation:
A radioactive element is an element which is subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus followed by the emission of alpha, beta and gamma particles. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive.
The given phrases that describe radioactive elements are-
They have a consistent number of particles
- the particles are alpha, beta and gamma particles.
They have a half-life that determines their rate of decay.
Explanation for other options:
Not all elements occur in nature. Radioactive decay rates may not be constant as the decay happens when a radioactive substance emits a particle. It is not possible to predict exactly when a given atom of a substance will emit a particular particle. When the radioactive element release energy and particles, it decays.
