Answer:

d. error-prone repair

Explanation:

DNA polymerases are the enzymes responsible for synthesizing DNA, not only making faithful replicas of our chromosomes, but also carrying out the necessary repairs for the proper maintenance of your genetic information. Either due to the intensity of the genotoxic damage or due to defects in the repair machinery, the ideal situation of having a pristine, original mold of DNA for copying is not always possible, which explains the existence of a special type of DNA polymerases, specialized in tolerating various DNA lesions through a copy process called "translesion synthesis" which is an "error-prone" or error-guaranteeing.

There is also a new human translesion DNA polymerase, perhaps the oldest of all, and that is capable of initiating the synthesis of new DNA chains acting as a primase. This enzyme, called PrimPol, is present in both cellular compartments that contain DNA (the nucleus and mitochondria). Through gene silencing experiments it was shown that PrimPol is necessary for mitochondrial DNA replication, probably tolerating the high oxidative damage associated with the respiratory activity of these organelles.

Which methods were used to record the resting membrane potential and action potential of the squid axon choose all that apply ?

The squid axon's action potential and resting membrane potential were captured using the following experimental strategy.
Using a recording microelectrode inside the cell that is connected to a second electrode outside the cell .

What is cell membrane ?

All cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane, which separates the interior of the cell from the external environment.
A semipermeable lipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane.
The movement of materials into and out of the cell is controlled by the cell membrane.

What are the functions of a cell membrane?

The cell membrane, therefore, has two functions: first, to be a barrier keeping the constituents of the cell in and unwanted substances out .
second, to be a gate allowing transport into the cell of essential nutrients and movement from the cell of waste products.

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a condition observed in the organisms while studying their genetics.

When the organisms with two alleles for the same trait are crossed, then neither of the two alleles completely express themselves but a new variation of the trait is formed.

This can be observed in the given scenario also when the ed and white flowers are crossed, then the pink flowers (a new variation of the trait) is formed called blended trait.

Thus, incomplete dominance is correct.
