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.

What is One difference between a fundamental niche and a realized niche

anastassius [24]

Fundamental niche is the job/role that one species can have in the environment .
The realized niche is the role of a species influenced by several factors in the environment.
Example:
The fundamental niche of Yellow Warblers is found in a spruce tree.
The realized niche of the Yellow warblers is when they are "forced" to share the spruce tree and remain in one particular area of the tree while other warbler species play defense different niches in other parts of the tree.

:v it is like :
•Fundamental niche: [yellow warbler] "I got my home, all for me..."
~new species arrive to the spruce tree~
•Realized niche: [yellow warbler] oh, shoot! I gotta stay in the upper part/move to the upper part as the others warbler "struggle" to get territory :v or they just choose their own . :v

In the context of sensory receptors, the intensity of the stimulus is communicated to the brain by varying the _____ of the acti

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The answer to this question would be: frequency

The higher intensity of the stimulus, the higher frequency of the action potential will be sent. The nerve can't send a higher action potential, so it firing at higher at higher intensity instead. So when you felt an intense pain, that means the pain receptor is firing more stimulus per second compared to low or mild pain.
