A problem known as the end-replication problem (telomere problem) exists in eukaryotic chromosomes wherein the chromosomes shorten with each round of DNA replication. Select the statements that best explain why the end-replication problem exists in eukaryotic chromosomes (select all statements that apply)
1) The RNA primer is removed in a 3' to 5' direction
2) DNA polymerase requires a primer for DNA synthesis
3) DNA ligase links the 5' OH group of one fragment to the 3' phosphate group of an adjacent fragment
4) The lagging strand is synthesized from the 3' end to the 5' end
5) DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA from the phosphate end to the hydroxyl end

Answer from: SSE4802

2 and 5

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs in S phase of cell cycle, is the process of DNA duplication in which one molecule of DNA is copied into two molecules. DNA is replicated by DNA polymerase enzyme which requires primer for initiation of replication. In leading strand, only one primer is required at the time of initiation, but for lagging strand, lots of primers are required, one at each okazaki fragment.

Telomere become short at each cell division because DNA polymerase requires a primer for DNA synthesis and DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA from the phosphate end to the hydroxyl end both the conditions are not filled at the telomeres.

2) and 5) are correct

Explanation:

Telomere represents linear ends of eukaryotic chromosome and consists of repeated nucleotides, protects terminal end of chromosomes from exonucleases and other damaging chemicals and also maintain divisional capacity of cells Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex consisting of RNA and several proteins, where RNA component of telomerase act as template and protein component has reverse transcriptase activity that synthesize DNA using RNA as a template Telomerase only extends 3' end of parental strandExtension and translocation repeats several timesAt telomeric region 3' end of one end is over-hanged on 5' end of another strand Over-hanged 3' end create a loop called T loop which mask the end of DNA strand

Answer from: Quest

answer: - b cells

explanation: -

there are many types of white blood cells present in our body. one such class of white blood cells are the lymphocytes. the b cells belong to the lymphocyte class of wbcs. the b cells perform their action against the pathogen by producing specialised proteins called as antibodies. these antibodies are produced as and when the b cells encounter pathogens in response to the antigens present on the surface of the pathogen. these antibodies bind to the antigens present on the pathogen and then, target them for destruction by other cells of the immune system.

so, the b cells mediate their action by identifying the antigens present on the surface of the pathogens and then producing antibodies in return to mediate its effect.

The phlogiston theory in the 17th century attempted to explain burning. the theory stated that combustable objects contained a material called phlogiston, a substance without mass, color, odor, etc. after objects burned, the objects were dephlogistonated and were then in their true form. the phlogiston theory was accepted until the 18th century, when lavoisier proved that combustion requires a gas that has mass. phlogiston is considered a) to be scientific knowledge b) not to be scientific knowledge c) to be proven by scientific method d) to be accepted in the modern scientific community

Ascientist is investigating the effects of salinity on fish development. he places fertilized fish eggs in an aquarium that contains low salinity and observes their development. what factor would improve experimental design the most? place the fish eggs in the open ocean because that is the natural habitat include another aquarium that has normal salinity to compare to the low salinity aquarium include an aquarium that replaces salt with sugar to confirm that the effects are specific to salt grow algae with the fish eggs in order to provide adequate nutrients to the developing embryos
