Answer:

well with out it we won't understand dna

but heres the scientific answer

Explanation:

DNA replication allows for organisms to be reproduced from the parent.

After a sperm (from male) and egg (from female) cell have combined, they immediately start to divide. At this point, the cell is called a zygote.

In order for the cells to divide, they need DNA from the mother. They don't steal it. They just replicate it. For a cell to use DNA, it needs to be in the form of a chromosome, a tightly-packed DNA structure

DNA replication allows for organisms to be reproduced from the parent.

Everything. DNA contains genes and which genes a person has determines which (if any) proteins are formed. Based on how much of a protein is formed determines how strong a trait is expressed

Whether during mitosis or meiosis, sister chromatids are held together by proteins referred to as cohesions. Such molecules must

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

1. They must be removed before sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes can separate

Explanation:

During the S-phase of the cell cycle, not only does DNA have to be replicated, but also newly synthesized DNA molecules have to be connected with each other. This replicated DNA (sister chromatids) remain physically connected with each other from S phase until metaphase. This physical connection is called Sister chromatids cohesion.

Sister chromatid cohesion depends on COHESIN, a tripartite protein complex that forms a ring structure to hold sister chromatids together during mitosis and meiosis. Cohesin regulates the separation of sister chromatids during cell division, either mitosis or meiosis. This sister chromatid cohesion is essential for the biorientation of chromosomes on the mitotic or meiotic metaphase spindle, and is thus an essential prerequisite for chromosome segregation. Without the cohesion, sister chromatids would not be segregated symmetrically between the forming daughter cells, resulting in aneuploidy.

Cohesion is established during S-phase of DNA replication, and the cohesins hold the sister chromatid together after DNA replication until anaphase when the removal of cohesin leads to separation of sister chromatids (meiosis II and mitosis) and homologous chromosomes (meiosis I).

In what way is photosynthesis important to life on earth. check all that apply

azamat

Answer: your answer is below

Photosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Without photosynthesis, the carbon cycle could not occur, oxygen-requiring life would not survive and plants would die. The importance of photosynthesis in our life is the oxygen it produces.
