DNA Replication How DNA Makes Copies of Itself. Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated (duplicated.) Because the two strands of a DNA molecule have complementary base pairs, the nucleotide sequence of each strand automatically supplies the information needed to produce its partner

If DNA never replicated, meiosis and mitosis would slowly halve the size of the genome until each cell would die


In other words it is important for DNA to double itself to account for the cells splitting during mitosis/meiosis.

givi [52]
Compared to arteries, valves have no pulse, have thin walls and have valves that prevent backflow of the blood. The pressure in the veins is less than that of the arteries, hence, there is no pulse. They are nearer to the surface of the skin. It also connects arteries and capillaries which transport blood all throughout the circulatory system.

Assoli18 [71]

The cell is most likely prokaryotic because:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus due to which the DNA are seen throughout the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus. So for eukaryotes, the DNA will be present packed inside the nucleus instead of being dispersed in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotes can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic depending on their mode of nutrition. Autotrophic prokaryotes can make organic molecules for a carbon dioxide source. On the other hand, heterotrophic prokaryotes can take carbon from organic compounds. Hence, the organism can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

In 2-3 sentences explain pollination.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat, or light. (I'm sorry this is about Pollution, it should be about Pollination, I misread it sorry,)

Pollination:

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.
