In order for a cell to divide, all of its genetic information has to be duplicated through a process called DNA replication

<h3>What is DNA replication?</h3>

In molecular biology, DNA replication is the biological process of generating two identical DNA replicas  from the original DNA molecule. DNA replication occurs in all  organisms and is the most important part of biological inheritance.

It is essential for cell division during growth and repair of damaged tissue, and also ensures that each  new cell receives its own copy of  DNA. Cells have a characteristic property of division that makes DNA replication  essential. Within the cell, DNA replication begins at specific sites or origins of replication in the genome that contain the organism's genetic material. Replication forks grow in two directions from the origin due to the unwinding of DNA at the origin and the synthesis of new strands that are incorporated by enzymes known as helicases.

DNA replication (DNA amplification) can also be performed in vitro (artificially, outside a cell). DNA polymerases isolated from cells and artificial DNA primers can be used to start DNA synthesis at known sequences in a template DNA molecule. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), ligase chain reaction (LCR), and transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) are examples.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

RpPp x RpPp

Explanation:

For the recessive trait to be expressed, both parents should have at least 1 allele for the recessive trait. Now you can see that both recessive traits were expressed in at least one of the off-springs, this means that both parents had the allele for each recessive trait.

Briefly describe how the experiments of Avery, McCarthy, and MacLeod, building on the work of Griffith?
satela [25.4K]
The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment<span> was an experimental demonstration, reported in 1944 by </span>Oswald Avery<span>, </span>Colin MacLeod<span>, and </span>Maclyn McCarty<span>, that </span>DNA<span> is the substance that causes </span>bacterial transformation<span>, in an era when it had been widely believed that it was </span>proteins<span> that served the function of carrying genetic information (with the very word </span>protein<span> itself coined to indicate a belief that its function was </span>primary<span>).

It was the culmination of research in the 1930s and early 20th Century at the </span>Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research<span> to purify and characterize the "transforming principle" responsible for the transformation phenomenon first described in </span>Griffith's experiment<span> of 1928: killed </span>Streptococcus pneumoniae<span> of the </span>virulent<span> strain type III-S, when injected along with living but non-virulent type II-R pneumococci, resulted in a deadly infection of type III-S pneumococci.

In their paper "</span>Studies on the Chemical Nature of the Substance Inducing Transformation of Pneumococcal Types: Induction of Transformation by a Desoxyribonucleic Acid Fraction Isolated from Pneumococcus Type III<span>", published in the February 1944 issue of the </span>Journal of Experimental Medicine<span>, Avery and his colleagues suggest that DNA, rather than protein as widely believed at the time, may be the hereditary material of bacteria, and could be analogous to </span>genes<span> and/or </span>viruses<span> in higher organisms.</span>

The genetic code is carried by the _____ molecule in most organisms.
creativ13 [48]
Hey 

This answer to your answer is DNA because the genetic code is the set of rules that explains how the information is transferred from DNA to the proteins. Thus, it is carried by DNA molecule in most organisms.
