Answer:DNA is antiparallel.

Explanation: DNA is a double stranded helix in which the two strands are antiparallel. Being antiparallel means that as one strand runs from 5'->3' direction, the other strand runs from 3'->5' direction. During DNA each of the two strands serves as a template for a new complementary strand. The synthesis of a new DNA strand is always in the 5'->3' direction, therefore one strand is synthesized continuously in the direction of the replication fork while the other strand is synthesized discontinuously in the direction opposite to the replication fork in short fragments called the Okazaki fragments. The strand that is synthesized continuously is called the leading strand while the strand that is synthesized discontinuously in Okazaki fragments is called the lagging strand.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Eventually, the environment will be unable to support the production of wildebeests, this will cause there to be a loss of vegitation that then causes a food shortage, and then the wildebeests will starve.

It's a very unhappy process, but those herds who don't migrate to another pasture will starve and die. The death will depopulate the savanna and give the fields some time for regrowth and the cycle will begin again.

Hope this helps! :)

(blank) is the thermal energy that flows from one substance to another when the substances differ in temperature.
ladessa [460]

The thermal energy can be defined as the type of kinetic energy which is generated due to the motions of the particles. This motion generates a temperature which can be measured easily. The type of thermal energy which flows from one substance to another when the temperature of the two substances is different is known as heat.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'heat'.
