The statement that is true is B. <span>Dissolved minerals from rocks are deposited in the ocean. All of the other statements are not correct, they are false.</span>
DaniilM [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that salt water contains high amount of sodium chloride (NaCl).

Also, when it rains then minerals from the rocks are washed or carried away by rain water. Therefore, this rain water passes through various routes and finally reaches to the ocean.

Therefore, the minerals from rocks are deposited in the ocean.

On the other hand, density is defined as mass divided by volume.

Mathematically,     Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Also, it is known that 1 atmosphere equals 14.69 pound per square inche and not equals to 20 pounds per square inch.

Thus, we can conclude that the true statement is dissolved minerals from rocks are deposited in the ocean.

Write a paragraph or two below to explain why there is a little change in the pH of battery acid when it is diluted with water.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acid is becoming less acidic. Similarly, when an alkali is diluted with water the concentration of OH - ions decreases. This causes the pH of the alkali to fall towards 7, making the solution less alkaline as more water is added.

DNA Polymerase helps copy a DNA molecule during the process of what?
PtichkaEL [24]
The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes are essential to DNA replication and usually work in pairs to create two identical DNA strands from one original DNA molecule. During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones.

Every time a cell divides, DNA polymerase is required to help duplicate the cell’s DNA, so that a copy of the original DNA molecule can be passed to each of the daughter cells. In this way, genetic information is transmitted from generation to generation.

Before replication can take place, an enzyme called helicase unwinds the DNA molecule from its tightly woven form. This opens up or “unzips” the double stranded DNA to give two single strands of DNA that can be used as templates for replication.

DNA polymerase adds new free nucleotides to the 3’ end of the newly-forming strand, elongating it in a 5’ to 3’ direction. However, DNA polymerase cannot begin the formation of this new chain on its own and can only add nucleotides to a pre-existing 3'-OH group. A primer is therefore needed, at which nucleotides can be added. Primers are usually composed of RNA and DNA bases and the first two bases are always RNA. These primers are made by another enzyme called primase.

Although the function of DNA polymerase is highly accurate, a mistake is made for about one in every billion base pairs copied. The DNA is therefore “proofread” by DNA polymerase after it has been copied so that misplaced base pairs can be corrected. This preserves the integrity of the original DNA strand that is passed onto the daughter cells.

Structure of DNA polymerase

The structure of DNA polymerase is highly conserved, meaning their catalytic subunits vary very little from one species to another, irrespective of how their domains are structured. This highly conserved structure usually indicates that the cellular functions they perform are crucial and irreplaceable and therefore require rigid maintenance to ensure their evolutionary advantage.
