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.

Answer from: niceguy1997

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

that would be called plucking : )

explanation:

''plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks". as a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock."

Answer from: Quest

the flagellates share a facultative mutualist association with termites. mutualism is a biological interaction between individuals of different species, where both benefit from each other. this is called cooperation and it differs from other interactions such as cases of exploitation, such as parasitism, predation. in this interaction called association, both species cooperate and benefit.

Solar energy causes water to evaporate into the atmosphere. how does that water vapor become a cloud? a) as the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler. the cooler air causes the water vapor to condense. b) as the water vapor goes higher in the sky, solar energy causes it to condense around particles of dust. c) as the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets warmer and the water vapor begins to condense. d) as the water vapor goes high into the atmosphere it turns to ice and that's what forms clouds.
