valent bonds instead?
A. the cell would need to make new DNA every time the strand was open
B. the cell would be able to open and close the DNA strand when it replicated
C.the cell would have to take in and use in order to brake the covalent bonds

The answer (although it appears to be missing a word or two) is:
C) The cell would have to take in and use (energy, resources) in order to break the covalent bonds. 

Covalent bonds are more difficult to break/create than hydrogen bonds, and thus require more energy. The advantage of hydrogen bonds to connect base pairs in a DNA strand is the ease with which they can be broken and then connect again, sort of like a zipper. The same process with covalent bonds would be more like unbuttoning and re-buttoning a shirt, it is slower and requires more energy to accomplish.

One of this nerve, the right phrenic nerve can travel upward towards the shoulder and upper back. When you apply pressure to the right phrenic nerve, it produces pain in the right shoulder.

What is the purpose of using reverse transcription
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzymeused to generate complementary DNA (cDNA) from an RNA template, a process termed reverse transcription. Reverse transcriptases are used by retroviruses to replicate their genomes, by retrotransposon mobile genetic elements to proliferate within the host genome, by eukaryotic cells to extend the telomeres at the ends of their linear chromosomes, and by some non-retroviruses such as the hepatitis B virus, a member of the Hepadnaviridae.
