Answer:

DNA replication is a process where the DNA is copied and replicates to produce the 2 identical copies of the molecule. Strands of DNA molecule work as a template for the production of complementary strands. The DNA splits synthesizing a fork. A new DNA is always synthesized in a 5' prime to 3' prime manner. Replication of both the DNA strands goes in two different ways.

1) Leading strands: It is a strand which is goes to the direction same as the replication fork movement and synthesized in 5'-3' prime direction. This strand formation is occurred as nucleotides are continuously added to the 3' prime end after polymerase reads the DNA template (original).

2) Lagging strands: It is a strand which is goes to the opposite direction as the replication fork movement and synthesized in 3'-5' prime direction. It is synthesized in fragments which are known as okazaki fragments. Lagging strand synthesis needs RNA primase.

12 If pressure is applied to a rock until its volume is
mote1985 [20]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option 2

If pressure is applied to a rock until it's volume is reduced by one half how the new density compares to it's original density is ; THE NEW DENSITY IS TWICE IT'S ORIGINAL DENSITY.

Explanation: Density is defined as mass divided by volume,density increases with pressure and it's determined by spaces between atoms in the object being measured.

Density is directly proportional to Pressure,so when pressure increases, Density increases and when pressure decreases,density decreases.

Density is indirectly or inversely proportional to temperature. so when pressure and density increases, temperature remains constant.

This is applicable to the scenerio with the rock in the question,as the pressure on the rock is increasing,the density is increasing too.
