Because DNA polymerase can only synthesize DNA in a 5′ to 3′ direction, the other new strand is put together in short pieces called Okazaki fragments. The Okazaki fragments each require a primer made of RNA to start the synthesis. The strand with the Okazaki fragments is known as the lagging strand.

Describe two ways that people contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance.
frosja888 [35]
People contribute to <span>antibiotic resistance by not completing their full course of antibiotics as prescribed by doctors when they are sick. This allows the bacteria to adapt to the antibiotic because the incomplete treatment did not kill the bacteria. Another way in which bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics is the widespread use of antibiotics in everyday consumer products, such as cleaners and beauty products. These antibiotics end up in the environment, and diluted exposure to these antibiotics by bacteria allows the bacteria to develop a resistance.   </span>

In which group is parthenogenesis a normal event?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Bees

Explanation:

Parthenogenesis is a method of asexual reproduction in which an egg cell develops into a new individual without fertilization. Parthenogenesis occurs in insects, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and in some plants. Most of the organisms which reproduces through parthenogenesis, they also reproduce sexually. Parthenogenesis may be occurs by apomixis and by automixis. In apomixis, egg is produced by mitosis and results into diploid clones. In automixis egg is produced by meiosis and the haploid egg develops into diploid new individual by the duplication of chromosomes. Parthenogenesis is an adaptation which allows to reproduce in adverse environmental conditions when sexual reproduction is not possible.
