Answer:

Floating ribs

Explanation:

The thoracic cavity has 12 pairs of ribs evenly distributed on the left and the right sides of the cavity that function to provide surface area for muscle attachment such as the intercoatal muscles that assist in breathing. The ribs are flat shaped bones semi circular in shape attaching to the thoracic vertabrae with a wider. The first to the tenth ribs are linked to the sternum by a cartilage to assist in their epansion and relaxation during breathing. The 11th and 12th ribs have no cartilage that can attach them to the sternum and hence are called floating ribs.

In DNA replication, continuously synthesis occurs on the leading strand Multiple choice question. toward the origin of replicati
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

toward the origin of replication

Explanation:

A replication fork is a structure formed during DNA replication when specific enzymes (i.e., helicases) separate both DNA strands at the origin of replication. DNA is always synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, thereby DNA can be synthesized continuously on the leading strand, because the growth of this strand proceeds in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, while DNA synthesized in several short segments on the lagging strand which are called 'Okazaki fragments'. DNA polymerases are enzymes that can only add nucleotides to the 3' end of a DNA strand, thereby they require the synthesis of short stretches of RNA or 'RNA primers', which are necessary for DNA replication of the lagging strand.

omeli [17]

Answer:

Water will move into and out of the cell at the same rate, causing it to remain the same size.

Explanation:

Water will move into and out of the cell at the same rate, causing it to remain the same size due to the existence of similar concentrations on both sides of the semi-permeable membrane which includes both the cell and the surrounding solution creating an isotonic environment.
