Answer:

In the semi-conservative method of DNA replication, each of the strands of the double helix acts as a template for replication.

Explanation:

Semi-conservative DNA Replication:

Semi-conservative DNA replication produces two daughter helices from the original parent helix. One strand of the daughter helix is form the original template while the other is newly synthesized.
This means that one strand will have the base sequence identical to the parent, while the other will be complementary to the template.
This model was experimentally confirmed by an experiment conducted in 1958 by Meselson and Stahl. They used radioactive isotope of nitrogen i.e. N-14 or N-15. DNA molecules made with N-15 were allowed to replicate in the presence of N-14.
After first replication, DNA molecules contained both N-15 and N-14 isotopes, disproving the conservative model that stated that the new helices are completely identical to the template.
The second replication yielded only N-14 which disproved the dispersive model that the new helices are a combination of both the template and new strands.

Answer:

The options

Have dilute urine."

Be unable to urinate."

Produce dark red urine."

Experience some burning on urination."

The CORRECT ANSWER IS 4

Experience some burning on urination."

Explanation:

Due to the trauma affecting the mucous membranes of the urinary tract, burning on urination is a more likely response, this sensation gets to reduce with time. This will stop the urine from further dilution once the frequent continuous bladder irrigation is stoped and removed. Although, the urine may show a slight pink tinge which results from the trauma after the surgery and the effect of the catheter that is noticed. A difficulty to urinate won't be felt except the indwelling catheter is removed earlier than it should expected and edema still occurs in the urethra. Production of dark red urine is an indicative factor for hemorrhage, which ought not to be seen.

Hope this helps you.

The genes of an organism can be either a homozygous or a heterozygous one. When someone is a homozygous dominant, it means that it has two copies of the same dominant allele. Homozygous means that the organism has exact copies of the same gene allele.
