How do cells correct errors in DNA that would disrupt their function? Enzymes use the surrounding sections of the DNA to determi

ne the correct structure; then they repair the errors by replacing atoms in the existing molecule-
Enzymes cut out the erroneous part and then use the complementary DNA on the intact strand to add the correct nucleotides.-----------------------------
Enzymes use RNA that was made before the damage occurred to make a new double strand of DNA to insert into the molecule.----------------
The erroneous part has weaker bonds to the DNA molecule, so it falls off, and the proper nucleotides are attracted to the gap to repair the damage.

Answer:

Option). enzymes cut out the erroneous part and then use the complementary DNA on the intact strand to add the correct nucleotides

Explanation:

DNA errors can be defined as errors that take place occasionally during DNA replication, when the DNA polymerase adds a wrong base to the growing daughter strand.

Many enzymes, such DNA polymerase and ligase are involved to repair these errors. The repairing enzymes first cleaves the mismatched or incorrect base as it has exonuclease activity. Then,DNA polymerase adds the correct base by using information from complementary DNA on intact strand and DNA ligase seals the gap.

Suppose molecules were unable to diffuse into and out of the cells. How might life be different if cells had to use active trans
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Cells would most probably not exist because these units of life metabolize energy molecules like glucose to harness their energy for the running of biochemical processes, like active transport, to support life. However, harnessing this energy from these energy molecules is NOT 100 percent efficient. A higher percentage of energy is lost as heat in the process.

Therefore if the cells were required to carry all molecules in and out of the cell, actively, including the energy molecules themselves (which is counterintuitive), this would require a lot of energy and would be unsustainable. This would be analogical to the counteracting and infinite loop of more fuel needed to carry the mass of the more fuel in space travel...

Are involuntary muscles striated?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>No.The involuntary muscles of the muscular system are not striated or furrowed.

</span>
<span><span>These muscles that are not striated are very smooth to the sight which is why they are also called Smooth muscles.</span> Involuntary muscles are not striated. Even among the striated muscles that are voluntary, the heart which is also a muscle, is involuntary.
On the other hand the striated muscles, which are voluntary are highly fibrous and their primary function is to move the body voluntarily, and producing heat as a result of this muscle action. </span>

There’s supposed to be 9 on each side and 6 in the middle. Which one did I mess up that was supposed to be in Mitosis?
Genrish500 [490]
The incorrect one in the Meiosis category would be,

"Same number of chromosomes as the original cell." 

This is because the original cell would've had 46 chromosomes but the new cell only 23.

You observed many sand hill cranes on your walk. Two sand hill cranes flapped their wings and hopped up and down when you walked
Anarel [89]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) symbiosis

B) ecosystem

C) community

D) population

E) biosphere

The answer is D) Population

Explanation:

Living organisms in an ecosystem are usually found in numbers living together in a given area. This is termed POPULATION in ecology. A population refers to the group of living organisms that belongs to the same species living together in the same habitat and have the ability to interbreed i.e. mate and reproduce with one another.

This is the case in this question where many sandhill cranes (large flying birds) were observed in a particular area, which represented their habitat. Asides the group of sandhill cranes living together, they were also observed to be interbreeding. This was evident in the observation of two sandhill cranes hopping up and down around their bright orange baby. This shows that members of the population are capable of mating and reproducing fertile offsprings.

This observation completes what a POPULATION is all about, hence, a population was observed.
