Answer:

Explanation:

Semiconservative replication is one of the type of replication methods proposed to take place in the cell and has also been confirmed to be the type that actually takes place in the cell. Semiconservative replication involves the production of two copies (of which one is the parental strand which acts as template and the other is the newly synthesized strand) of the original DNA molecule. A leading strand is the newly synthesized strange running in the 5' to 3' direction, the template strand runs from the 3' to 5' direction while the lagging strand is the newly fragmentally synthesized strand oriented in such a way that its production runs in the 5' to 3' direction for each okazaki fragment. Its template strand runs in the 5' to 3' direction.

The cell copes with errors in replication either by performing the 3' to 5' exonuclease proofreading during replication or by utilizing the cell's DNA repair system.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

fills with blood during arousal and causes an erection.

Explanation:

The corpus spongiosum is a mass of tissue present in the under part of the penis (male sexual structure) that is actively responsible for erection of the penis. The corpus spongiosum, in conjunction with the corpus carvernosa works to maintain erection of the penis in males.

During sexual arousal, the corpus spongiosum, which surrounds the urethra (passage for urine and semen) helps keep the urethra open for semen to be released while the carvernosa becomes filled with blood. This constant flow of blood into the carvernosa makes the penis enlarge and assume an erect position.

Prophase I
The chromosomes condense, and the nuclear envelope breaks down & crossing-over occurs.

Metaphase I
Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell.

Anaphase I
Homologous chrmosomes move to the oppisite poles of the cell.


Telophase I and Cytokinesis
Chromosomes gather at the poles of the cells & the cytoplasm divides.

Prophase II
A new spidle forms around the chromosomes.

Metaphase II
Chromosomes line up at the equator.

Anaphase II
Centromeres divides & chromatids move to the opposite poles of the cells.

Telophase II and Cytokinesis
A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes & the cytoplasm divides.
