Explanation:
DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides, extending the new strand complementary to the template. Helicase unwinds DNA, ligase joins fragments, primase synthesizes RNA primer. In prokaryotes, DNA polymerase III is the main replicative enzyme.
Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Artificial insemination improves cattle breeds. 2. Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer is used in poultry. 3. Crossbreeding combines traits of two breeds. Which are correct?
Explanation:
Artificial insemination allows the use of superior bull semen to improve cattle genetics widely. Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) is a technique used in cattle and other mammals to increase herd improvement rates, not in poultry (which uses hatching eggs). Crossbreeding involves mating animals of different breeds to combine desirable traits and exploit hybrid vigor. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
Explanation:
Oxytocin, released from the posterior pituitary in response to suckling, causes contraction of myoepithelial cells around mammary alveoli, forcing milk into ducts (let-down reflex). Prolactin stimulates milk synthesis. Estrogen and progesterone inhibit milk secretion during pregnancy.
