Describe how DNA replication relates to transmission and conservation of genetic information.

Jet001 [13]4 years ago

DNA replication follows the base pairing rule (A with T and G with C). This ensures identical replication of the genetic information; hence it's conservation. Each daughter DNA double helix contains one old strand of DNA and one newly-synthesized strand of DNA. This is known as the semi-conservative mechanism.
DNA replication also occurs during mitosis which produces haploid gametes. Each parent contributes half of the genetic information during fertilization of two gametes, thus regenerating the diploid number. Genes from both parents are transmitted to the offspring.

Which of the following life processes requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms?
prisoha [69]
The most probable answer for this question would be that almost every life process requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms. To simply put it, cells of multicellular organisms are specialized in a way that they are all grouped into their respective tissues and these tissues are all grouped into their respective organs and these organs are all grouped together into their respective systems and these systems make up the multicellular organisms. These systems have their own functions in maintaining and sustaining the life that the organisms has. The organs have their own functions as well, thus specialized cells are mostly needed in respiration, digestion, circulation, movement, excretion, reproduction, immunity, coordination, and synthesis.

Viruses that reproduce almost immediately after coming into contact with a host cell use which viral reproductive cycle?
Naddik [55]

The best answer is A.

The lytic cycle is considered the main cycle in viral replication. Once the viral DNA enters the cell, it transcribes itself into the host cell's messenger RNAs and uses them to direct the ribosomes.

The host cell's DNA is destroyed and the virus takes over the cell's metabolic activity and begins to use the cell's energy for its own propagation and within a short while, when the cell gets overcrowded with  the viral progeny, the original virus releases enzymes to break the cell wall. The cell wall bursts. This process is called lysis. The new viruses are then released.

Identify the structures in the cell pictured on the right<br> Label a,b,c,and d<br> 30 points
yulyashka [42]

The labeling of the cell represents.

The label A is Nucleus: The nucleus of the cell carries the hereditary material DNA from one generation to another generation. This carries the traits from one generation to another.

The label B is Cytoplasm: This is the fluid part of the cell which has all the organelles floating in it.

The label C is ribosomes: It is the an organelle present in that that is responsible for the protein synthesis.

The label D is Nucleolus: It is known to be the largest structure in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell. It helps in the signal recognition pathway.
