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.

Which of the following situations would most likely lead to a stable
zlopas [31]

Answer:

C. The rates of birth and immigration were balanced by the rates of  death and emigration .

Explanation:

A stable population size means that, over the years, number of individuals doesn't change significantly. This condition is only possible when the birth rate and immigration rate is balanced with the death rate and emigration rate. In this scenario, population size would not change much.

On the other hand, if a birth rate and immigration rate will increase, the population size in any area would be increased. This typically happens in growing cities. By contrast, if death rate and emigration rate increases, the size of population will decrease. This happens mostly in rural areas.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
aksik [14]

Answer:

Just before the cat drops, it was stationery. Therefore it has energy of position called  potential energy.As it drops, the Gravitational potential energy is converted to Kinetic Energy,The conversion mid- air is P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E, until it touches the ground. As it touches the  ground all the energy is converted to P.E energy of position.

As it runs after mouse the P.E is converted back to Kinetic , energy of motion. As it feeds on the mouse , the chemical energy obtained  as protein from mouse meat.This is later converted back to Mechanical energy as (kinetic and Potential  energy)   in the cat.

What often results in a woodland without frequent fires?
Aliun [14]
<span>The answer is D. The understory oak trees are lower than the general canopy of the woodland. Therefore they are significant, especially dead and dry oaks, in the ‘jumping’ of fire from one point to another during wildfires. They are a major aggravator of wildfires in California after they are attacked by Sudden Oak Death (SOD). </span>
