The correct answer is:

The "leading" strand.

Explanation:

When replication occurs, the two parent DNA strands are withdrawn. One of these is represented as the leading strand, and it is replicated continuously in the 3' to 5' direction. In DNA replication, the strand that is performed in the 5' to 3' orientation by continuous polymerization at the 3' growing tip.

A leading strand because it breaks off into the front of the cell

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are: A) Heterochromatin and euchromatin

B) Uniform in the genetic information they contain

C) Separated by large sketches of repetitive DNA

D) Each void of typical protein-coding sequences of DNA

E) Void of introns.

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

The chromatin or substance that makes up the nuclei of cells and that results from the interaction of DNA with histonic and non-histonic proteins and RNA; it can present different degrees of packing or contraction. When chromosomes are stained with chemicals that bind to DNA, densely stained regions and less densely stained regions appear. Heterochromatin are segments of the chromosome that stain strongly and remain visible, practically, during the entire cell cycle. There are few genes in these regions and therefore low transcriptional activity. They are supercondensed regions. Euchromatin are segments of the chromosome that are not visible during telophase and interphase, only in metaphase. It corresponds to regions that are less compact and in which there is a higher gene density.

Graphic Organizer: Cell Membrane

Simora [160]

The cell membrane maintains homoeostasis in the body which is the process by which cell maintains a fairly constant environment.

<h3>What is the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer membrane which separates the contents of a cell from the external environment.

The correct graphical chart is as follows:

cell membrane maintains homeostasis
active transport requires energy
passive transport does not require energy
Diffusion occurs either through osmosis or facilitated diffusion
facilitated diffusion occurs through protein channels
Osmosis involves movement of water
Endocytosis is the process the cell takes in substances into its inner compartment
Exocytosis is the process the cell takes in substances into its inner compartment
Pinocytosis is cell drinking
Phagocytosis is cell eating

Therefore, the process by which cell maintains a fairly constant environment is called homoeostasis and is maintained by the cell membrane.
