The correct answer is: gaps left at the 5' end of the lagging strand

Telomeres are repetitive regions at the very ends of chromosomes found in eukaryotic organisms. The “problem” with telomeres is that the DNA  replication cannot be fully finished in each round which result in a slow, gradual shortening of the chromosome.  

Gaps at the end of lagging strand are formed because lagging strand is synthesized via Okazaki fragments (small DNA fragments). So, when replication fork during replication reaches the end of the chromosome, a short stretch of DNA does not get covered by an Okazaki fragment and consequently remains uncopied in each round of replication, leaving a single-stranded overhang.

Telomerase is an enzyme that solves this problem by extending the telomeres of chromosomes.

bija089 [108]
The correct answer is 9:3:3:1

When two homozygotes for two traits cross, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1 ( unless other factors like epistatic interaction change the inheritance model).
In our case, we have two simple traits of seed color and seed shape that follow the Mendelian model of inheritance.

In this dihybrid cross, we have
9/16 of the offspring expressing both dominant traits ( yellow and round seeds)
3/16 expressing one dominant and one recessive trait ( yellow and wrinkled)
3/16 expressing the other dominant and recessive trait (green and round)
1/16 expressing both recessive traits ( green and wrinkled)
