10. before replication begins, the strands of DNA are separated and used as templates for the new strands. the replication process creates 2 identical double helixes, each has 1 new strand and 1 old one.
11. without dna replication, damaged cells could not be replaced/repaired and cells need dna, cells would become mutated without dna replication.
12. mutations are rare because dna polymerase proofreads the strands but if the process occurred incorrectly and was not corrected by the polymerase, the cell would become mutated and could be really harmful.
hope this helped!
Answer:
Every fossil tells us something about the age of the rock it's found in, and index fossils are the ones that tell us the most. Index fossils (also called key fossils or type fossils) are those that are used to define periods of geologic time
Explanation:
Assumptions:
1. Equilibrium has been reached for the allele proportions
2. Absence of <span>evolutionary influences such as </span>mate choice<span>, </span>mutation<span>, </span>selection<span>, </span>genetic drift<span>, </span>gene flow<span> and </span>meiotic drive<span>.

Defining L=long stem, l=short stem, and L is dominant over l.
f(x) = frequency of allele x (expressed as a fraction of population)
Then the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law applies:
p^2+2pq+q^2=1
where
f(LL)=p^2
f(Ll)=2pq
f(ll)=q^2
Given f(ll)=0.35=q^2, we have
q=sqrt(0.35)=0.591608
p=1-q=0.408392
=>
f(Ll)
=2pq
=2*0.408392*0.591608=0.483216
= proportion of heterozygous population
Answer: percentage of heterozygous population is 48.32%
Answer:

Explanation:
the market for wood furniture and other products are on high demand so cutting down and planting again will help in availability and good weather
