Skin is able to prevent most microorganisms from entering the body by
Goshia [24]
The structure of the skin is an effective barrier against bacteria. The multiple layers of epidermis, while can be invaded by foreign organisms, has a high turnover rate which means it is constantly shedding, therefore even the bacteria is shed protecting the body. Lastly, the skin's lipids maintain an acidic pH which slows and stops growth and replication of bacteria.

Compare the two new strands of dna are they the same or different? why?
Leni [432]
The two new strands are different from each other ,both of them have only one strand from the original DNA and the other strand is complementary . eg if a strand has the following base pairs .. AACCGGT ( consider this as the strands)
                                                           TTGGCCA
now they are going to be seperated AACCGGT     TTGGCCA
                                                         TTGGCCT      AACCGGT
as u can see the two NEW strands formed are similar but NOT IDENTICAL to each other .
