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.
Answer:
Ben - Y Xc
Jen - XCXC
Violet - XCXc
Seraphina - XCXc
Samuel- Y Xc
Explanation:
Given -
Ben has a cleft chin
Let the allele for cleft chin be "c"
and the allele for normal chin be "C"
When Ben with cleft chin mates with wife Jennifer Garner having normal chin, then the two girl child do not have cleft chin but the boy has cleft chin.
This means that the allele C could be X -linked and the mother is not the carrier but the father is
The genotype of father Ben would be Y Xc
Genotype of mother would be XCXC
Genotype of two daughters XCXc , XCXc which means they are carrier for the next generation
Genotype of Boy - Y Xc
In a particular context, “epoch” can refer to a particular point of time characterized by a particular event/series of events.
While “era” refers to a period of time characterized by events in a chronological order.
Thus, an “era” can encompass more than one “epoch”.
“Period” can refer to a short interval of time or a very long interval of time.
For example:
<span>“My period of happiness….”“The period of Four Horsemen…”</span>
<span>“Eon” </span>refers to an indefinitely long time. <span>Eon is presumed to consist of at least 2 eras.</span>
