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.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

Explanation:

Below is the full question:

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.

What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?

A) Bacteria released excess carbon dioxide in these areas.

B) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature of the red and blue light.

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

D) Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light and thus these wavelengths are more reactive than other wavelengths.

E) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature caused by an increase in photosynthesis.

The most efficient region of white light for photosynthesis has been found to be the blue and red region of the white light. Hence, these two regions must have had the most oxygen being released because they are the regions with the highest rates of photosynthesis.

<em>Aerobic bacteria thrived better in the regions illuminated by red and blue light because these regions had the highest oxygen production as a result of having the highest rates of photosynthesis.</em>

<em>The correct option is C.</em>

Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.
