Answer:

The consumption of a drug that inhibits or block the enzyme primase will have problems for the replication of DNA, since it is not possible to synthesize a new strand without this enzyme.

Explanation:

During DNA replication, the enzyme primase is responsible for synthesizing the primers, RNA fragments necessary for the DNA polymerase III to synthesize the new DNA strand.

If for any reason the action of the primase is blocked, the primer could not be synthesized and the effect of DNA polymerase III would be null, so the new DNA strand could not be synthesized.

In DNA replication, the primase contributes to the formation of small fragments of DNA, by the action of polymerase III, which are called Okazaki fragments. These fragments will require the action of another enzyme, ligase, in order to form a continuous DNA strand.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Let the disorder be represented by the allele a.

Since the disease is an autosomal recessive one, affected individuals will have the genotype aa and normal individuals will have the genotype Aa or AA.

Since the four adults are carriers, their genotypes would be Aa.

                    Aa     x     Aa

Progeny:    AA    2Aa    aa

Probability of being affected = 1/4

Probability of being a carrier = 1/2

Probability of not being affected = 3/4

(a) The chance that the child second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria = 1/2

(b) The chance that  the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition = 3/4

(c)

(d) If someone has no family history of the disorder, their genotype would be AA.

                 AA     x     aa

                        4 Aa

<em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history </em>= 0

(e)

(f) <em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history</em> = 0

How could you test to see if soil temp was responsible for a variation in flower color?
Lostsunrise [7]
To design an experiment, you must set all other variables constant. These may include the environment, soil type, plant/flower type, water treatment and other essential variables. The only parameter you should vary is the soil temperature.
