Answer:

The model of the DNA can be related to a zipper. Just like the zipper, the two strands of the DNA are joined together by the hydrogen bonds present between the nucleotides. At the time of replication, the coiling of the two strands is undone just as the zipper is open. The two strands of the DNA open and separate just as the two stands of the zipper open and separate. Each strand can give rise to anew strand.

Just as the opening and closing of the zipper can cause damages in the zipper, just like this replication can cause errors in the DNA which lead to mutations.

Which of these parts of the membrane help large molecules pass through it?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A. Phospholipid bilayer

Explanation:

Cell membrane is a selective permeable structure in all living cells that allows the passage of some molecules and disallows some. This function of the cell membrane is attributed to the PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER CONTENT of its structure.

The phospholipid bilayer contains both a hydrophobic end (water fearing) and hydrophilic end (water loving). The interaction of the molecules with these regions of the membrane serves as the basis for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.

What are the relevant parts of your skull as a whole
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The human skull consists of 22 bones (or 29, including the inner ear bones and hyoid bone) which are mostly connected together by ossified joints, so called sutures. The skull is divided into the braincase (neurocranium) and the facial skeleton (viscerocranium). Its main task is the protection of the most important organ in the human body: the brain.

The brain is almost entirely enclosed by the neurocranium with the exception of the foramen magnum and other foramina at the skull base which serve as entry and exit point for blood vessels and cranial nerves. Also, the skull provides support for all of the facial structures.
