Why are telomeres problematic for eukaryotic chromosome replication? a) They are highly repetitive and thus hard to replicate co

rrectly. b) Telomerase is more error-prone than the normal DNA Polymerase. c) The T loop blocks formation of primers on the lagging strand. d) Removal of the lagging strand primer leaves a gap in the one of the strand's DNA sequences. e) Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Answer: Option E

Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Explanation:

Telomere refers to either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome.

Usually, in eukaryote chromosome replication, telomeres are not replicated.

Hence, they are usually lost resulting in the shortening of the telomere ends after repeated cycle of cell division. This also leads to cell aging and stoppage of cell division.

The shortening of telomere combined with stoppage of cell division, and cell aging initiation prevent CANCER, which thrives on lengthy telomeres

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consist of many glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. The iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Starch will change color to an intense "blue-black" colour after the addition of aqueous solutions of the triiodide anion. To do it we can add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour The reaction between amylose that present in lesser amounts and iodine is said to account for the intense color change seen.

An iodine test of a tomato plant leaf revealed that starch was present at 5:00 p.m. on a sunny afternoon in July. When a similar leaf from the same tomato plant was tested with iodine at 6:00 am the next morning, the test indicates that less starch was present in this leaf than in the leaf tested the day before. This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was

  • 1. changed directly into proteins
  • 2. transported out of the leaves through the guard cells
  • 3. transported downward toward the roots through tubes
  • 4. changed into simple sugars

Drag each label to the correct location on the image.
Fittoniya [83]

The correct matches are:

1. Sea level (0 m) - 100%

2. Mid-level elevation (4,500 m) - 57%

3. Peak (8,850 m) - 33%

The level of oxygen in the atmosphere depends a lot on the elevation. The smaller the elevation, the higher the oxygen level, and vice versa, the higher the elevation, the lower the oxygen level. So we have a situation in which the oxygen level is the highest at 0 elevation, or rather at sea level. As we go to higher elevations, let say to around 4,500 m, the oxygen level is significantly dropped, which makes it difficult for breathing. If we go even on higher elevation, like 8,850 m, than the oxygen level will much lower, and a human will need to undergo intense long training and also carry oxygen with him/her in order to survive.

Answer:

This mutation will produce an enzyme with modified hydrogenase activity

Explanation:

The allosteric site is critical to switch on/off the enzyme activity. The enzymes with allosteric activity are regulated by binding an effector molecule in a different site to the active site of the enzyme.

What happens when the sun heats up water in earths surface and turns it into water vapor?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Evaporation – Evaporation happens when heat from the Sun turns liquid water into water vapor (gas). About 90% of the water in the atmosphere comes from evaporation. Most evaporation occurs in the oceans, because they cover so much of Earth's surface. The sweat evaporates into the air.
