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.

bagirrra123 [75]

    I would choose to make sure the local people value the forest especially the kipunji monkeys. How I would do that is by convicing them that leaving the forest is more profitable than cutting it down for agriculture use by suggesting that tourists will pay to visit their land. Tourism would boost the economy and value of the land. The local people can make a big profit  and save their forest too.

For the same insolation, order these regions from "highest absorption to lowest."
son4ous [18]
Insolation is the amount of solar energy that is incident on the surface of the earth. For the same insolation, water bodies tend to absorb the most heat as water has a high heat capacity and so do grasslands. Areas such as desserts and glaciers do not absorb high amounts of insolation due to which these areas exhibit extreme, inhabitable environments. The order becomes:
The Atlantic Ocean
A marshy wetland
Nevada desert
Polar ice caps
