Which statement about DNA replication is FALSE?

Biology
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. DNA ligase adds nucleotides to the lagging strand

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process during cell division in which DNA copies itself. DNA strands unwind with the help of helicase to initiate the process. DNA Polymerase III is responsible for prokaryotic replication and adds nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction. Since both the strands of DNA run in opposite direction their replication is slightly different. The lagging strand is also formed by DNA Polymerase III in discontinuous manner leading to formation of Okazaki fragments. DNA ligase joins these fragments once the replication process is completed.

Ground squirrels are found in many areas of the United States. They live in underground burrows and are often attacked by birds
Ket [755]

The population of the ground squirrels will be limited by the population of the hawks. The population of the hawks, thus, will be a limiting factor for the population of the ground squirrels. The Hawks are the birds of prey that feeds on squirrels. With the increased number of hawks in the same area as them will put these squirrels in danger. The population of the tree squirrels, however, will have no affect on the population of the ground squirrels. The genetic variability and breeding season are not limiting factors for their population either.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option B - a population of hawks'.

Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.
expeople1 [14]

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.
