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

<h2>Rabbit Blood</h2>

Explanation:

<em>Blood is the primary transporter</em> mode for the transport of components essential for digestion all through the body
Red platelets are one of the most significant components of blood
Red platelets (rbcs) transport oxygen to the body's tissues and trade it for carbon dioxide which is carried to the lungs for elimination
Red platelets are shaped in the bone marrow of Stem cells in the red bone marrow called hemocytoblasts offer ascent to the entirety of the formed components in blood

Which type of tree with poisonous berries is often found in uk churchyards and has a starring role in the film "a monster calls"

Sliva [168]

It would be the yew tree.

Yew (Taxus baccata) is a typical tree of churchyards, where some are thought to be well beyond 1,000 years old. Poisonous yew trees were planted in churchyards by the farmers to make sure that their animals didn’t stray into them. "<span>They stop and sleep under the yew tree (the monster), but in the morning, the young woman is dead, having been murdered, and the shocked young prince is covered in blood."</span>
