Answer:

The process where part of the DNA is saved during replication is known as semi conservative replication.

Explanation:

During cell division, a cell must first replicate its DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).  When a cell divides into daughter cells , the DNA of the parent cell must be copied because DNA contains the genetic material of an organism. DNA replication is the process in which DNA is copied  during the cell  division cycle.  During replication, the complementary strands of the original double helix DNA are separated and one of the two strands in the original molecule is saved in the new DNA molecule. Thus the new DNA molecule is made of an original strand and a newly synthesized strand. So the DNA replication is known as semi conservative replication. Each strand of the original DNA molecule is referred as the template strand because it provides information for the production of newly synthesized strand. It takes place inside the nucleus of a cell during the s stage  of the cell cycle. During replication, helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases (Adenine with Thymine, Cytosine with Guanine) and unwinds the double helix of DNA. The two separated strands create a Y-shaped replication fork and act as templates for the synthesis of new strands of DNA. Enzymes known as DNA polymerases create the new strands.

Cell respiration begins with
irinina [24]

Answer:

Cell respiration begins with Glycolysis .

Explanation:

Glycolysis  is the first and initial step in the cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the anaerobic process, which takes place in cytosol of the cells. Two molecule of pyruvate(CH3COCOO-) are formed from 1 molecule  of  glucose(C6H12O6)through glycolysis. The  NADH and  ATP are high energy molecules formed when the free energy are released. It is the process which takes place through a series of ten enzyme catalysed reactions. 10 enzymes are required to break down the sugar molecule. It occurs in cytoplasm.

5. Is the following sentence accurate?
hichkok12 [17]

The cell that provides life with chemical energy. Light energy is converted by photosynthesis into chemical energy that is stored in glucose, and this energy is then released during cellular respiration to create ATP.

<h3>What does the term "cellular respiration" mean?</h3>

While cells are aerobic respiration, oxygen may be present or not. But, because the cell seems to "respire" by consuming molecular oxygen (as an electron acceptor) and releasing carbon dioxide, the process is essentially known as "cellular respiration" (as an end product).

<h3>What happens during cellular respiration?</h3>

ATP is created during cellular respiration as a reaction product between glucose and oxygen. Water and carbon dioxide are released as by products. The three stages of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis, an anaerobic process, and the Krebs cycle.

In a population of cats, the phenotypic frequency of black cats is 91%, and the phenotypic frequency of white cats is 9%. Assumi
Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)

2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)

3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)

4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B)  = 0.91

q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b)  = 0.09

For a population in genetic equilibrium:

p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)

(p + q)^2 = 1

Therefore:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

in which:  

p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)

2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)

q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)

p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281

2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638

Scientist use data from Gregor Mendel‘s studies to conclude that information about traits is passed from parents to offspring th
vaieri [72.5K]

The correct answer is genes.  

A trait refers to the feature like size or color, which is passed from the parents and is inherited by the offspring. The genes control traits and come in pairs, that is, one gene from each parent.  

The transmission of hereditary traits possesses its molecular framework in the accurate DNA replication. This generates gene copies, which can be transmitted to the offspring from the parents. In plants and animals, the reproductive cells known as gametes are the mediators, which transfer genes from one generation to the next.
