During what stage does the DNA copy itself

Biology

Answer: Tightly wound chromosomes, composed of DNA, must unwind before replication. Cell replication splits a cell into two parts, both of which become new, fully functioning cells. Before this can happen, however, cells require a full complement of DNA for each of the new daughter cells that will form as a result of the split. Because of this, DNA makes a copy of itself in a process known as replication during interphase, a stage that occurs before cells divide.

Cell Phases: Mitosis is the process by which parent cells each divide into two identical daughter cells. However, this majority of the cell's time is spent in interphase, during which it performs normal metabolic functions necessary for the organism, such as manufacturing protein. DNA occurs during the S phase of interphase, sandwiched between the G1 and G2 phases. The cell uses checkpoint signals to ensure at the end of G1 that it is big enough to replicate and at the end of G2 to determine whether or not DNA replication has succeeded. If so, the cell can undergo mitosis, at which point DNA winds up tightly for easy transport during the process.

DNA Replication: Replication begins with DNA unwinding and unzipping, its two strands coming apart. While only one side is the “correct” code, containing the actual genetic information used to build the organism’s proteins, both can be the base for a new strand of complete DNA. The enzyme DNA polymerase matches up each base with the correlating base: adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine. When each pre-existing base has been matched to a nucleotide, which also contains the sugar and phosphate of the DNA’s backbone, the strand is complete.

A student does an experiment for a science fair to study whether temperature affects the timing of a cricket’s chirps. The stu
nexus9112 [7]

The frequency of chirps increases as the temperature increases. The correct option is B. <em>The chirps occur closer together as the temperature increases.  </em>

-------------------------------

<h2><u>Available data:</u></h2>

<h3>Data recorded by the student </h3>

<em><u>Day      Temperature   Average time between chirps (sec)</u></em>

1            21                             2. 5

2           22                            2. 6

3           23                            2. 2

4           24                            2. 3

5           25                            2. 0

6           26                             1. 8

7           27                              1. 9

8           28                             1. 8

9          29                             1. 4

10          30                             1. 2

11           31                              1. 5

<u>12          32                             1. 1</u>

In this experiment the student recorded the time in seconds <u>between </u><u>chirps</u>.

We can see that <em>as the </em><em>temperature increases</em><em>, in general, the</em><em> time</em><em> between</em><em> chirps decreases</em>.

  • At 21ºC the time between chirps is 2.5 seconds
  • At 26ºC the time between chirps is 1.8 seconds
  • At 32ºC the time between chirps is 1.1 seconds

According to this information, if the average time between chirps decreases with the temperature increase, we can assume that<em> the </em><em>frequency</em><em> of chirps </em><em>increases</em><em> as the temperature gets higher. </em>

<h3>Options,</h3>

<em>A) The higher the temperature, the fewer chirps there will be in 10 seconds</em>.

Wrong. The number of chirps in 10 seconds will depend, not only on the frequency but also on how long the chirps last. Since the student did not record the time of chirps, we can not make this conclusion.  

<em>B) The chirps occur closer together as the temperature increases</em>.

True. The chirps increase in frequency as the temperature increases, so they occur closer together.

<em>C) The chirps become farther apart as the temperature increases</em>.

Wrong. We can see how the time between chirps decreases as temperature increases, meaning that they are closer not farther.

D) There is no relationship between temperature and the time between chirps.

Wrong. If we make a graph we will see the tendency and the relationship between chirps and temperature.

Graphs usually explain the relationship between variables. In this example, the relationship would be inverse.

The water level at the beach changes during the day. What causes the different water levels?
dexar [7]

Answer:

C. The moon's gravitational pull and Earth's rotation

Explanation:

The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.
