Answer:

<u><em>Evolutionary significance of DNA polymerase: </em></u>DNA polymerase is a key enzyme of DNA replication. During replication, it duplicates the DNA strand which then moves to next-generation, thus, continuing the life generations after generation.

If there will be a mutation in DNA polymerase, the <u>nature of mutation</u> would define the consequences. If it is a NEUTRAL mutation, it would not affect the action of DNA polymerase. However, if it a POSITIVE mutation, it may improve the function of DNA polymerase. On the other hand, if the mutation is NEGATIVE, it can be very harmful to living organisms because negative mutation can impair the function of enzyme thus stopping the DNA replication. This would most likely seize the life on Earth.

I would say the best answer would be Fatty tissue because the epidermis is the outer layer of skin and the dermis is under this epidermis but it is the connective tissue. Let me know if that's right then.

What is the last phase of the Cell Cycle? (This is when the genetic material has already been duplicated and what is left to do
Marianna [84]

Answer: mitotic phase

Explanation:

The cell cycle has two phases the Interphase and mitosis. Interphase is the growth phase where the cell prepares itself for the cell division. It is divided into three phase G1 phase( Cell growth),S phase ( DNA synthesis) and G2 phase(cell growth).

Mitotic phase has a multiple steps this is where the duplicated chromosomes are aligned or arranged, separated, and move into two new, identical daughter cells(cytokinesis)

The first step in the mitotic phase is called karyokinesis or nuclear division where the chromosomes are separated and move in opposite direction and the second portion of the mitotic phase, called cytokinesis which is the physical separation of the chromatids into the two daughter cells.
