This was a major breakthrough in geology because it meant that sedimentary strata in diverse parts of a country or area could be correlated as belonging to the same formation which means they were formed at the same time historically so helped to put them in the correct sequence. If these strata contained valuable minerals like coal then it could aid in the search for coal. This helped William 'Strata' Smith in England to create his first geological map in the world of a whole country.

Which best describes the outcome of DNA replication?
defon

Answer: The correct answer is -

The new DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one old strand of DNA.

DNA replication is a process of formation of two molecules of DNA from a single DNA molecule (which is double stranded).

In this process, the two DNA strands of the original DNA are first separated so that the template strands are exposed.

Using the template strands, enzyme DNA polymerase adds nucleotides (in the direction 5' to 3') in a complementary manner-

For adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine in the template strand, thymine adenine, cytosine, and guanine are added respectively.

The new DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one old strand of DNA. That is why, it is also called semiconservative replication.

Thus, option third is the right answer.

Answer:

A) vesicle

Explanation:

As described in this question, the endomembrane system is a system of membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells that functions in the synthesis, packaging, modification, and transportation of lipids and proteins in the cell. The organelles that make up the endomembrane system includes: Secetory Veside, Lysosome, Golgi apparatus, Plasna membrane, endoplasmic reticulum etc.

According to this question, the part of the endornembrane system that provides a mechanism for transporting proteins from the rough ER, which synthesizes it to the golgi apparatus, where it is modified and packaged is VESICLES. Vesicles are membranous cellular organelles that function mainly in the transport of materials e.g proteins
