Answer:

The feature of DNA replication that makes it semi-conservative is the creation of new DNA strands from old DNA strands.

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs semi-conservatively because it is from two old DNA strands that the new DNA strands will emerge. Each new strand is complementary to the old strand, so the genetic code is retained in the new DNA molecules. Replication is initiated from single sources and usually occurs bi-directionally from each replication source. Replication fidelity is very high, with an average of only one error per billion nucleotides incorporated after error synthesis and correction during and immediately after replication.

One strand of each new molecule comes from the original molecule.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

<h2>Base isolated system</h2>

Explanation:

Fixed based system:-

A fixed-base building (built directly on the ground) will move with an earthquake’s motion and can sustain extensive damage as a result.

Base isolated system:-

A base isolation system is a method of seismic protection where the structure (superstructure) is separated from the base (foundation or substructure).

Hence,

A base isolated system is much more better in a area where there are a lot of earthquakes.

Cells a and b are the same size and shape, but cell a is metabolically quiet and cell b is actively consuming oxygen. Oxygen wil

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The two cells of the similar shape, and size have different levels of the ongoing metabolic activity. On one hand, the cell a is metabolically quiet, which means that no energy consuming chemical reactions are taking place in this cell. On the other hand, the cell b is actively consuming the surrounding oxygen. In this scenario, the oxygen will more quickly diffuse into the cell b because the diffusion gradient for oxygen in this cell is steeper than in the cell a.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'b and the diffusion gradient is steeper' respectively.
