Answer:

The caterpillars gain energy directly from the orchids

Explanation:

Earth maintains the flow of nutrients in the form of cycles and linear sequence in which the nutrients in the form of matter and energy flows from one organism to another and one sphere to another sphere.

One such flow of nutrients in the form of matter and energy can be observed in the organisms when one organism feed upon another and gain energy. This flow of matter and energy is called a food chain.  

The energy flows in this food chain through ten percent rule which states that only ten percent of energy can be transferred to next trophic level, therefore, the organism at the lowest level will have the highest amount of energy.

In the given question, the caterpillars can be considered as primary consumers which gain energy from the orchid plants directly and thus is the most appropriate answer.

During DNA replication, an open section of DNA, in which a DNA polymerase can replicate DNA, is called a replication fork. 2. Ok
Fiesta28 [93]

The question has been answered itself but the answer will contain the detail explanation.

Answer:

1. The replication fork formation during DNA replication is important for the continuity and the addition of the further base pair on the template. The DNA initiation process starts by the formation of replication fork.

2. The okazaki fragments are the short DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging strand. These fragments are later joined by the enzyme DNA ligase.

3. Leading strand is the continuous strand that formed during the DNA replication. The direction of the leading strand is 5' to 3' .

4. DNA polymerase is the main replicating enzyme during the DNA replication process. Different types of DNA polymerase with multiple subunits are present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

5. The new DNA that are formed from the parental strand and complementary with each other are called daughter DNA.
