DNA replication follows the base pairing rule (A with T and G with C). This ensures identical replication of the genetic information; hence it's conservation. Each daughter DNA double helix contains one old strand of DNA and one newly-synthesized strand of DNA. This is known as the semi-conservative mechanism.
DNA replication also occurs during mitosis which produces haploid gametes. Each parent contributes half of the genetic information during fertilization of two gametes, thus regenerating the diploid number. Genes from both parents are transmitted to the offspring.
DNA is an example of a complex biological polymer called a nuclei acid. Nucleic acids are made up of many smaller sub units called nucleotides. The components of a DNA nucleotide are deoxyribose, phosphate group, nitrogen group. There are four possible bases in a DNA molecules which includes adenine, cytosine, guanine and tymine.
Answer:
(a) The rate of oxygen consumption will decrease.
Explanation:
The rate of oxygen consumption will decrease due to the Potassium cyanide which inhibits both utilization of oxygen by the cell as well as ATP production. Cytochrome performs an important function in the mitochondria of the cell which is the production of ATP. Cyanide binds to the cytochrome and inhibits the ATP production that is performed by mitochondria of the cell. So Potassium cyanide decreases the rate of oxygen consumption in mitochondria.
