Selective toxicity is a trait which is present in almost all anti-infective agents. This trait allows anti-infective agents to affect and target particular enzymes and proteins in antigens.

Selective toxicity is a trait which is responsible for effecting certain proteins, enzymes or structures in infectious agents like bacteria, fungi and viruses. Without this trait the anti-infectious agents or drugs would have a toxic affect that would be exerted on not only antigens but also on normal, unharmed cells in the body of the host organism. Selective toxicity is displayed by most antibiotics, where these drugs affect the bacterial cell wall and its components. This is also displayed by antiviral drugs. these antiviral drugs affect the spike proteins or capsid proteins on the virus. Antivirals can also be selectively toxic towards receptors that are the point of attachment towards viruses.

____ happens when a lineage splits into two or more lines of descent.
Evgesh-ka [11]

When a lineage splits into multiple line of descents, then, it leads to speciation. It is a process by which a single population evolves into different species.  The process of speciation leads to the development of two or more species as  the lineages are splitted. These two evolved species are genetically independent.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'speciation'.

1. Cell starts into mitosis phase of the cell cycle.

2. Helicase begins to break the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases. (The double helix has to be unwound in order to expose the nucleotides)

3. DNA polymerase attach the free-floating nucleotides to the exposed nitrogen bases. (this allows a new DNA strand to be made on the existing one)

4. Free floating nucleotides pair up with exposed nitrogen bases (this is what really builds the new strand, based around the template strand)

5. Two new molecules of DNA are created

Statements:

Adenine

Cytosine (Car in the Garage, Apple in a Tree is a good trick to know how they pair)

DNA

Replication

Double helix
