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.

BaLLatris [955]
<h2>Vascular and Nonvascular Plants </h2>

Explanation:

Kingdom Plantae on the basis of vasculature is divided into two groups-vascular and non-vascular plants .

  • <u>Vascular plants </u>or tracheophytes have a proper tissue-level organization and true shoot and root structures like leaves, stem, flowers, root etc
  • The tissue system or vasculature of vascular plants compromises of vascular tissues like tubular vessels – xylem and phloem
  1. The xylem transports nutrients to various parts of the body from the leaves.
  2. Phloem conducts water and other nutrients from the roots to various parts of the plant .
  • These are flowering plants that include the phanerogams – angiosperms and gymnosperms and bears flowers and fruits like the cedars, pine, clubmosses, lilies, sunflower etc.
  • Dicots are with tubular vasculature.  
  • Non-vascular plants or bryophytes with an absence of proper tissue-level organization and true shoot or root systems
  • <u>Nonvascular plants</u> are small. Their transport mechanism is poor due to lack of vascular tissues
  • These plants are lack proper shoot or root system.
  • It includes mosses, hornworts etc.
  • Monocots are plants with scattered tube-like vessels .

Describe how wind forms ocean waves in deep water and how these waves change as they develop in 6 sentences
bogdanovich [222]
Wind-driven waves are created by friction between wind and surface water. When wind blows across the surface of an ocean the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These waves can be created through local winds or distant winds. The waves can be affected by wind speed and wind duration. The faster the wind and the longer it blows, the bigger the waves. It also can depend on how far the wind blows uninterrupted.

I hope this helps :)
