D) Polymerizes nucleotides in a 5'-to-3' direction

Explanation:

DNA polymerase is the enzyme of DNA replication that elongates the RNA primer by the addition of deoxyribonucleotides to it. The enzyme uses the existing DNA strand as a template and makes the complementary strand in 5' to 3' direction. The deoxyribonucleotides are added by the formation of a phosphodiester bond between two successive deoxyribonucleotides.

Phosphodiester bond is formed by joining the 5' phosphate of one nucleotide unit to the 3' hydroxyl group of the other nucleotide. Therefore, chain elongation occurs in 5' to 3' direction only. DNA polymerases have 3' to 5' exonuclease activity that removes the wrongly added nucleotide during replication and thereby, reduce the errors. All the bacterial DNA polymerases (DNA pol I, II and III) have the 3' to 5' exonuclease activity.

The RNA polymerase is the enzyme of RNA synthesis and does not requires a primer for the process. The enzyme adds ribonucleotides by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bond formation. Therefore, RNA synthesis also occurs in 5' to 3' direction. RNA polymerase uses the template DNA strand to make the RNA copies but lacks 3’ to 5’ exonuclease activity.

the match duh

explanation:

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
