DNA replication is the process that leads to the formation of the two chromatids.

DNA REPLICATION:

DNA replication is the process by which the information in a DNA molecule is used to synthesize another to make two identical copies.

DNA replication occurs prior to every cellular division in order to enable daughter cells have the correct amount of genetic material.

DNA molecules are borne on structures called chromosomes. Hence, when the information of a DNA molecule is duplicated, there is need for another chromosome to harbor the replicate.

Chromosomes containing identical DNA molecules are termed sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are joined together by a centromere.

Therefore, DNA replication is the process that leads to the formation of the two chromatids.

1. The correct answer is pH.

The activity of the enzymes might be affected by environmental changes such as change in pH. Each enzyme has the point when it is the most active and this value is known as the optimum pH. Extremely high or low pH values can lead to loss of enzyme activity and stability.

Phosphofructokinase is sensitive to acidity, meaning that it is inhibited by low pH levels.

2. The correct answer is temperature.

Enzyme is sensitive to the environmental conditions such as temperature changes.

Temperature is a factor that usually increases the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions by increasing the activity of enzymes. But, after reaching the optimum temperature, reaction rate abruptly declines. This happens because enzymes are deactivated or denatured at a certain temperature (above 40° C).

In the female, the development of the "egg" halts during TWO stages, _________ and __________

earnstyle [38]

Answer: The blanks can be correctly filled up with prophase I and metaphase II.

Explanation:

In females, finite number of oocytes are present since birth. The process of oogenesis initiate in embryonic stage only. However, oogonia divide and mature to form primary oocytes. These primary oocytes start meiotic division but arrest in prophase I stage before birth.

After a girl attains puberty, one primary oocyte resumes its division each month during a menstrual cycle. The primary oocyte divides to form secondary oocyte and polar body.

Polar bodies degenerate after completing meiosis II. However, secondary oocyte halts its division again at metaphase II until fertilization takes place. Once fertilization takes place it completes its meiosis II and results into mature ovum and polar body.
