The answer is proofreading feature of DNA polymerase.  As the DNA polymerase III replicates DNA, it has a proofreading mechanism in one of the subunits of the holoenzyme. This subunit detects a bad conformation in the double helix when the wrong base pair is placed. In this case, the DNA polymerase III backs up a bit and waits for the exonuclease to nick out the misplaced base.

The r group of an amino acid would need to have what characteristic to be located in a cell membrane?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The R group should have the ability to form hydrogen bonds.

The R-group take a lot of different chemical forms and can be acidic, basic, polar or non polar. Amino acids that are either acidic or basic consequently have either positive or negative charge. These types of R-groups are stabilized when surrounded by water.

Skeletal remains are discovered at an archeological site. X-rays of the femur show evidence of a thin epiphyseal plate. This bon
Basile [38]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 18 year old male

Explanation:

The epiphyseal plate can be described as a disc of cartilage that is required for the growth of bones. The epiphyseal plates get fused in females at a very early age, most probably between the ages of 13 to 15. In males, the epiphyseal plates fuse a litter later at about 15 to 18 years.

Hence, the presence of epiphyseal plates in the femur would prove that it was present in an 18-year-old male.

All the other options would be false because they won't contain an epiphyseal plate.

One critical observation used by both lamarck and darwin in their research is
Ymorist [56]
One critical observation used by both Lamarck and Darwin in their research is about characteristics of inheritance. Although each claimed different sources of inheritance, they were in unison that in time, individuals acquire characteristics called inheritance. Lamarck believed that inheritance is passed from parents to offspring, while Darwin thought that it’s a product of natural selection.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

Explanation:

Below is the full question:

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.

What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?

A) Bacteria released excess carbon dioxide in these areas.

B) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature of the red and blue light.

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

D) Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light and thus these wavelengths are more reactive than other wavelengths.

E) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature caused by an increase in photosynthesis.

The most efficient region of white light for photosynthesis has been found to be the blue and red region of the white light. Hence, these two regions must have had the most oxygen being released because they are the regions with the highest rates of photosynthesis.

<em>Aerobic bacteria thrived better in the regions illuminated by red and blue light because these regions had the highest oxygen production as a result of having the highest rates of photosynthesis.</em>

<em>The correct option is C.</em>

The diagram below represents levels of organization in living things. Which term would best represent X?
Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is C. Tissue

Explanation:

In the diagram, x is between organ and cell level. This implies this level of organization is smaller than an organ but no as small as one cell. In this context, the most suitable term to add to this level is a tissue because these are structures composed of specialized cells, which shows this level encloses cells. Also, a group of tissues forms an organ; this implies the organ is the level that follows the tissue. Examples of this include muscle tissue composed of muscle cells and that is part of organs including the heart.
