Dna polymerases are processive, which means that they remain tightly associated with the template strand while moving rapidly and adding nucleotides to the growing daughter strand. which piece of the replication machinery accounts for this characteristic?
a) helicase
b) sliding clamp
c) single-strand binding protien
d) primase

Dna. we have heard that we are a product of our dna. but where is it? how do we "get" our dna? it is passed to us, from our parents, but in what form? several vocabulary words associated with inheritance are used interchangeably and sometimes, incorrectly. let's see if you can clear this up for someone just learning about inheritance and cell structure.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).

Sickle cell amelia is a condition condition where the red blood cells are deformed which is affected by sickle cell amenia
