Protein strands that attach to the centromere region during M-phase of cell cycle?
During Metaphase the protein strands that attach to the centromere region are called spindle fibres.
Which planes divide body into superior and inferior sections?
The plane that divides the body into the superior and inferior sections is called the transverse plane
What is a smaller division of a township called?
A Township is 6 miles by 6 miles. It is divided into 36 Sections
What does semi-conservative model mean?
Refers to semi-conservative replication of DNA. One strand of the old DNA is used as a template to replicate the other, new, strand of DNA. Thus you have four from two, but two of the four are old strands while the other two strands are new. Thus the name semi-conservative replication.
What is the scientific term for the shape of the DNA strand?
The name of the shape of DNA is called double helix. There are two long strands of DNA connected in several points. These strands twist and look like a spiral or a spring.
Why does Dna have both leading and lagging Strands?
The lagging strand is called the lagging strand because, unlike the leading strand, DNA polymerase can not replicate in a 5' to 3' uninterrupted flow on this strand. Remember, DNA has two strands that run ANTIPARALLEL, one to the other; in other words they run in opposite directions.
What are leading strands?
Leading strands are one of the two newly synthesized DNA strands during DNA replication. They are synthesized in a continuous manner in the 5' to 3' direction, following the replication fork. The leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the replication fork is moving, allowing for continuous synthesis.
What are the two DNA strands?
The two stands wound together in the DNA can be called any number of names depending on the chemical phenomenon occuring. During replication, the strands are called the leading and lagging strand. During transcription, they are called the sense and the non-sense strands. Basically, both strands are polynucleotides.
The site where the old DNA strands separate and new DNA strands will be synthesized is called the?
replication fork
What are conducting strands in xylem called?
vessels
Why is replication on one strand of DNA continuous while on the other strand the replication must be discontinuous?
New strands of DNA can only be created in one direction - 5' to 3'. This is because only the 3' end of the DNA is able to join to a new nucleotide. The two strands of DNA are antiparallel - meaning they run in different directions. Therefore only one strand (called the leading strand) is running in the correct direction for continuous replication. The other strand (called the lagging strand) must first be looped around so that small sections can be replicated in the correct direction.
What are the two strands of a chromosome called?
The two identical strands of a chromosome are called chromatids. DNA replication occurs in the interphase stage of the cell cycle.
Chromosomes during prophase are made up of two identical strands What are these strands called?
The two identical strands of a chromosome are called chromatids. DNA replication occurs in the interphase stage of the cell cycle.
What are the 20 sections of the earth called?
The 20 sections of the earth's crust is called plates
What are the two stomach sections of a shark called?
The two sections of a shark are called the elasmobranchs.
What is A state is divide into sections is called?
a state is divided into sections, each called county
What is the name for the area in which these duplicated strands are joined?
The area in which the duplicated strands are joined is called the replication fork.
