Want to know:
Look at the picture below, showing a replicating telomere after the RNA primer has fallen off the bottom strand. On this end of the chromosome (i.e., the right), onto which strand will telomerase add nucleotides, in order to lengthen the telomere? If you've forgotten, remember that telomerase acts in the same direction as other polymerases.A. The strand that ends with the 3'B. Neither strandC. Both strandsD. The strand that ends with the 5'

- In a pathway controlling flower color, a functioning copy of gene A is needed to produce enzyme A, which catalyzes the synthesis of red pigment. Without enzyme A, the flower only makes white pigment. A second gene, gene R, encodes a repressor protein that completely inhibts enzyme A. If a plant were to have a genotype AaRr, what color would the flower be?The flower would be white because the repressor protein is present and it is inhibiting enzyme AThe flower would be red because enzyme A is present and the repressor gene is brokenThe flower would be white because the genes for enzyme A and the repressor are broken
