Answer:
Because DNA polymerase can synthesize DNA strands in 5' to 3' direction only.
Explanation:
The 5' end of one DNA strand is present opposite to the 3' end of the other strand. But DNA polymerase enzyme can elongate the primers in 5' to 3' direction only. Formation of a phosphodiester bond between the existing nucleotide and the incoming nucleotide requires the free 3'OH. This 3' OH serves in the nucleophilic attack during the formation of the bond.
Therefore, the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the form of short DNA fragments. These are called Okazaki fragments. Primers are formed for short distances which in turn are elongated by DNA polymerase to form the Okazaki fragments. On the other hand, the synthesis of the leading strand occurs continuously in the same direction in which the replication fork moves.
Hippos likely evolved from a group of anthracotheres about 15 million years ago, the first whales evolved over 50 million years ago, and the ancestor of both these groups was terrestrial. These first whales, such as Pakicetus, were typical land animals. They had long skulls and large carnivorous teeth. Hope I’ve helped ;)
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-a synergist
Explanation:
In the musculoskeletal system, the muscles to produce a movement work in group or pairs like hamstrings and quadriceps or biceps or triceps. The muscles which work is known as an agonist or prime mover.
The muscle which helps prime mover by moving in the same direction and at the same time is known as synergists. The synergists produce a similar motion as the prime mover and also stabilizes the joints which hold the position for smooth movement of agonist.
Thus, synergist is the correct answer.

Answer:
The homozygous dominant phenotype is higher than expected, indicating that evolution has occurred.
Explanation:
At the start there are 200 fishes in the pond, 100 of them are AA(50%) and 100 of them are aa(50%). Using the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation we can say that the gene frequency is
A=0.5
a=0.5
With those frequency, the expected percentage of offspring with dominant genotype will be:
AA= 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 = 25%
The number of homozygous dominant found is 35% which is higher than expected (25%). Higher homozygous dominant frequency than expected means the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is changed. In this case, evolution probably the cause that shifts the gene frequency.
