I just took a test with this question and the answer is:

B - Because they are not manufactured by the body.

Similar to fatty acids, some amino acids are not manufactured by the body but must be obtained from food. Scientists call them the essential amino acids.

Which best describes the outcome of DNA replication?
defon

Answer: The correct answer is -

The new DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one old strand of DNA.

DNA replication is a process of formation of two molecules of DNA from a single DNA molecule (which is double stranded).

In this process, the two DNA strands of the original DNA are first separated so that the template strands are exposed.

Using the template strands, enzyme DNA polymerase adds nucleotides (in the direction 5' to 3') in a complementary manner-

For adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine in the template strand, thymine adenine, cytosine, and guanine are added respectively.

The new DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one old strand of DNA. That is why, it is also called semiconservative replication.

Thus, option third is the right answer.

dangina [55]
The statement above is TRUE.
Viral and bacteria STIs are usually acquired through sexual contact with an infected person. These infections have serious devastating effects on the affected and death usually result if the infection is not treated promptly. Some of these infections are still without drugs that can cure them, especially the viral STIS. 
Ectoparasitic infections are those infections that are caused by tiny parasitic organisms. They are usually transmitted by close physical contact. The parasite usually affect skin or hair and typically cause itching. The effects of these infections are mild compare to that of viral and bacterial STIs.
