Which of the following best describes the integration of the study of genetics and population biology into evolutionary theory? a. the modern synthesis b. cladistical analysis c. the theory of endosymbiosis d. the theory of epigenetics

The cladistical analysis refers to the reconstruction of the evolutionary trees. The relationship among the organisms are hypothesized in cladistical analysis.

The theory of endosymbiosis explains the interdependent relationship of two organisms when one is ingested by the other and it result in a permanent relationship. The theory of epigenetics is concerned with the control of the gene activity in the developing complex organisms.

The modern synthesis explains the fusion of the Darwin's evolution theory, and the Mendelian genetics. Hence, the answer is 'Option A - the modern synthesis'.

you are certainly talking about this picture:

a: is the label of the white square, it is showing the  replication fork, formed by helicase (d) ==> so it is the site of dna separation and replication 

b: is a new dna brand that is following directly the replication fork, so it is continuous ==> built continuously from 5' to 3

c: dna polymerase cannot replicate dna on its own, it needs the of their proteins, and one of them plays the role of a clamp which fixes  the dna with the dna template and increases  the processivity of the enzyme. ==>   stops polymerase from falling off the  template.

d: is the enzyme responsible for forming the replication fork (helicase) ==> unwinds and separates dna into two strands

e: is the delayed strand, it is built  in the opposite sense of the helicase, so dna will be built in fragments ==> built  fragments from 5' to 3 joins

and finally f: is the enzyme that builds  the new dna strand (dna polymerase) ==>   adds nucleotides to make a new dna helix.
