Sabrina and Chris are researching underwater mountains called seamounts. Sabrina says that they are formed by divergent plates,

because they occur near mid-ocean ridges. Chris says they are formed by meteors that have crashed into the ocean, because he saw it in an action movie. Who has the better scientific claim?
A) Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.
B) Sabrina, because she doesn't watch movies.
C) Chris, because he has considered all the possible explanations.

The correct answer is A. Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.

Explanation

A scientific claim is a way of proving a phenomenon (in this case a natural phenomenon) in which results of scientific tests are used in order to give reliability to the proposed answers, for this reason, Sabrina's statement that says that Seamounts are the result of a divergent plaque process is a scientific claim because it has been proven, while Chris's claim based on what he saw in a movie is not considered a scientific claim because he has no proof. So, the correct answer is A. Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.

Which molecule is active during the last step of DNA replication?
stepan [7]

Correct answer: Option D- DNA ligase

Explanation: In option A, thymine is a nucleotide, so it is present throughout the replication process, wherever it is required. It is added to the newly formed DNA. In option B, Helicase enzyme is active during initiation and elongation stage, as it facilitates the opening of the winded DNA strands. Option C is nucleotidase and it has no role in DNA replication. So, the correct answer is DNA ligase, which is option D.

The okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication are sealed at the end. And in this step, DNA ligase is used. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides of okazaki fragments. So it is the last active molecule of the process.
