Answer:

Plasma tail

Explanation:

A comet is a body in space which revolves around Sun in elliptical orbit. It is composed of rocks, dust, ice and frozen gases. A comet has mainly three parts:

Nucleus- It is the core of the comet which is solid.

As the comet nears the sun, the frozen gases start sublimating. An atmosphere surrounds the nucleus which is known as coma.

As the comet approaches the sun closely, the coma extends backwards due to solar wind. The solar wind pushes the ionized gases of the comet away from the nucleus. This is known as tail. There are two tails - dust tail and plasma tail. Plasma tail is composed of ionized gases -heavier than the dust tail and thus lies below it.

Before DNA replication can occur the double stranded DNA must first

Taya2010 [7]

Answer/Explanation:

First, initiator protein unwinds a short stretch of the DNA double helix. The length of the DNA double helix about to be copied must be unwound. In addition, the two strands must be separated, much like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases. Once the DNA strands have been unwound, they must be held apart to expose the bases so that new nucleotide partners can hydrogen-bond to them. Then, a protein known as helicase attaches to and breaks apart the hydrogen bonds between the bases on the DNA strands, thereby pulling apart the two strands.
