Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between the leading and the lagging strands of DNA during D

NA replication? A The leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction. B The leading strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 3' end of the growing strand, and the lagging strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 5' end. C The lagging strand is synthesized continuously, whereas the leading strand is synthesized in short fragments that are ultimately stitched together. D The leading strand is synthesized at twice the rate of the lagging strand.

The answer is; A & C

The lagging strand is replicated in fragments called Okazaki fragments, each initiated by a primer. The fragments are later joined into one strand by DNA ligase. Replication occurs by adding nucleotides to the 3’ end of a preceding nucleotide. Because the lagging strand is antiparallel to the leading strand, the replication of the lagging strand is in the opposite direction as the replication fork direction. This is why the lagging strand is replicated in fragments because replication is being carried out by a single DNA polymerase (moving in the direction of the replication fork) per replication fork.

Glucose + glucose —> _____ by _____. glucose + glucose —> _____ by _____. cellulose + water ... hydrolysis maltose + water
xeze [42]
I believe the correct answer is the second option. Maltose and water would be formed from the reaction of two glucose molecules. This reaction is called the dehydration synthesis reaction. The production of water signifies that it is a dehydration reaction. It is a reaction which involves putting together two molecules while losing water molecules. Polymers can be formed from this type of reaction. Some polymers are complex carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids. It is also considered as a condensation reaction because two molecules are being condensed into a larger molecule and losing a small molecule which is the water.

Pros and cons of canopy fogging
pishuonlain [190]

Pros:

It is (mostly) based on pyrethrine spray which kills the insects rapidly.

It not poisonous to other animals.

It uses synthetic, natural spray which is safe to use because it breaks down within 10 minutes.

Te technique can reach tall forests.

It can be used in closed spaces ( greenhouses, basements etc).

 

Cons:

It requires windless circumstances ( which is mostly at nights).

Breathing fog may cause respiratory and throat irritation to some.

The fossils from Australopithecus provide evidence for evolution because some parts of the bone that contains the DNA of it can be identified as this type of animal. They can be detected through the use of carbon dating devices.
