Answer:

The correct answer would be option first - It is a traditional nautical term.

Explanation:

In early 17th century sailors used to measure the speed of the ship by the device called a common log. This device was a coil of rope with several knots placed uniformally to it, attached to a slice of pie like shaped piece of wood. It was allowed to flow freely in the sea for specific time and pulled back after particular time.

Thus, the correct answer would be option first It is a traditional nautical term.

Answer: Though the answer were not given, the complementary RNA strand is 5'UCCGAGGUC3'

Explanation: RNA is a single stranded nucleic acid produced from DNA. Four bases are usually found in DNA and they include adenine, Uracil, cytosine and guanine whereas adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are found in DNA. In RNA base pairing, wherever adenine is found in the DNA template strand, uracil occurs in the RNA strand, wherever thymine is found in the DNA template strand, adenine occurs in the RNA strand and anywhere cytosine occurs in the DNA template strand, guanine occurs in the RNA strand. This means that adenine pairs with uracil, cytosine pairs with guanine and thymine pairs with adenine.
