Answer:B) progress towards the replication fork.

Explanation:

Replication fork is a point on the parental DNA where the DNA is being unwound and separated; and the separated strands are being replicated. Synthesis of a new DNA strand occurs in a 5' -> 3' direction, as the DNA strand serving as the template is read from its 3' -> 5' direction. During replication, two strands of DNA are synthesized: The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the same direction as the replication fork movement while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the direction opposite to the direction of fork movement, that is, towards the replication fork. The lagging strand is synthesized in short fragments known as Okazaki fragments.

The transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next is necessary for the survival of a species. Which statement
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) The complementary base pair rules.

DNA serves as the genetic material in most of the living organisms and is transmitted from parents to their offspring.

It is like blue print of the cell which contains all the necessary information required for the functioning and regulation of cell in the form of nucleotide sequences.

Generally, DNA consists of two strands which are complementary in nature i.e. purine base pair with its specific pyrimidine (adenine always base pair with thymine and guanine always base pair with cytosine).

This property of DNA is of utmost importance in the process of DNA replication as daughter DNA strand is formed on the basis of complementary base pair of the template strand.

It ensures that correct DNA sequence is produced for transmission to the offspring or daughter cell.

Is extensive loss of hair observed in humans and whales an example of homoplasy or homology? see section 25.1 (page 497) ?
marin [14]
I believe that hair and limbs are homology because all mammals have hair and similar limb structure. Hair loss and social behavior on the other hand are homolasy because not all mammals have them. Homology is the similar traits due to common ancestry while homoplasy is similar traits for other reasons other than common ancestry.

What causes ocean water near the equator to be warmer than ocean water<br> farther north?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: The structure and curvature of the Earth results in beams of sunlight glancing off the equator and reaching other areas of the Earth. This means that the areas at the equator receive more energy as the sun's rays hit them directly. :)
