Why is the Lancelet a chordate, but not a vertebrate?
nika2105 [10]

Lancelet is a chordate but not a vertebrate because it lacks a backbone

Explanation:

The subphyla of the phylum Chordata are - Vertebrata, Urochordata and cephalochordate

Those chordates with a structural backbone belong to Vertebrata.

Urochordates and cephalochordates lack a backbone and hence are termed invertebrate chordates.

Lancelet is an invertebrate chordate of the subphylum – Cephalochordata.  

The lancelets consist of a notochord that extends right from the head till the tail at the dorsal surface. The notochord acts like the backbone and provides support and a semi-flexible structure to aid in the movement of the organism.

They lack a developed nervous system like vertebrates but only has a dorsal nerve tube .

Describe the chemical make up and type of bonding found in water molecules?
andre [41]
Water molecules consist of 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen atom. They are bonded by a polar covalent bond, meaning the electrons shared by the covalanet bonds are not evenly distributed. Oxygen is more electronegative than Hydrogen and will pull the electrons from its bonds with Hydrogen closer to itself. Thus results in a partial positive dipole on the Hydrogen of the water molecule and a partial negative dipole on the Oxygen of the water molecule. These partial charges allow water to hydrogen bond with one another through a process called cohesion.

What 2 enzymes are used during DNA replication? describe what each does during replication
polet [3.4K]

The two enzymes that are used during DNA replication is helicase and polymerase. Each enzyme has distinct role that made it a vital part of the replication. In the course of DNA replication, the initial stage is to unzip the double helix structure of the DNA molecule by the enzyme helicase, which breaks the hydrogen bonds that holds the complementary bases of DNA.

Moreover, the DNA polymerase has the ability to exactly copy a DNA template. This enzyme binds to the leading strand and then adding a new complementary nucleotide bases to the DNA strand. In addition, it catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the increasing DNA chain.
