DNA replication is the process in which a new DNA strand is synthesised from the existing DNA strand using that as the template.
DNA strands are built from building blocks of units called nucleotides, DNA exists as a double helix which means that two complementary strands are wound around each other and bonded by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases in the nucleotides.
1. replication begins when the DNA double helix unwinds
DNA helicase breaks the Hydrogen bonds keeping the two strands together and unwinds the helix so that the two strands are exposed for replication to be initiated.

2 . the nitrogenous bases pull apart from each other at a distance, exposing the two strands
The two strands pull apart from each other so that the strands are exposed for them to be used as templates in synthesising the new strands 

3. as the double helix continues to open, new nitrogenous bases are added on both sides
nucleotides consist of nitrogenous bases, phosphate group and pentose sugar. the uniqueness of DNA strands are in the sequence of nucleotides. the bases added to the new strand are complementary bases to that already in the template strand

The DNA sequence AGGCTTCGCGAAGGTAAC would code for the sequence of 6 amino acids.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Amino acids are coded from the DNA sequence in groups of three bases, that is, three bases (three letter codes) also called codon codes for (or specifies) an Amino acid.

in the above DNA sequence each of the prospective 6 Amino acids will each require a triplet of bases. Thus, the simple calculation of 6×3 yields 18. Thus we need at least 18 bases in our DNA sequence, barring stop codon, to code for Amino acids.

Counting, the above DNA sequence contains 18 bases exactly.

Mitochondria transfer ________ energy from ________ to atp; chloroplasts transform ________ energy into the chemical energy of a
valina [46]
Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from food to ATP; chloroplasts transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP.
<span>Mitochondria and chloroplasts are capable for converting chemical energy<span> from food (or light) in the cell to energy in a form usable to that cell (ATP).</span></span>
<span>High-energy electrons which are produced during the oxidation of food molecules (or from the action of sunlight in case of chloroplast) are transferred through the electron transport chain located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. These electron transfers release energy that is used to pump H+ and thus generate an electrochemical proton gradient. H+ moves down its electrochemical gradient through a protein called ATP synthase permitting the proton gradient to drive the production of ATP.</span>
