The answer would be –genesis and –gram. 

Suffixes that have a Greek or Latin roots and that are used to combine with other words or parts of words are not called suffixes, these kind of affixes are called combining forms.


One combing form is –genesis.


As an independent medical term, this means the origin of something in medicine. When a doctor talks about the genesis of a contagion, he or she is speaking of the point of origin of a contagion.


-genesis used as a suffix, can indicate a particular process or pathogen. Example is parthenogenesis.


One combining form is –gram.


As an independent medical term, gram indicated the metric weight of an object as a unit of mass. If nurses talk about how much serving of food, they are talking about it in grams.

-gram signifies something written down. Example is pictogram.

What are restriction enzymes and how are they used to cut DNA?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer and Explanation:

A restriction enzyme is a type of endonuclease enzyme  that recognizes  a specific short nucleotide sequences on the DNA and  cuts the DNA only at palindromic sites. There are different types of restriction enzymes:

1. Type I restriction enzyme – It cuts at sites far  from the recognition site and requires both ATP and S-adenosyl-  L-methionine as cofactor to function.  

2. Type II restriction enzymes – It cleaves at short-specific distances from the recognition  site and mostly  requires magnesium to function.

3. Type III restriction enzymes – It recognizes two  separate non-palindromic sites and cleaves at 20–30 base  pairs away from a recognition site. It requires both ATP  and S-adenosyl-L-methionine  .

The restriction enzymes cleave DNA sequences producing either sticky or blunt ends that can be ligated with other sequences.

Two differences between primary and secondary metabolites​
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Image result for Two differences between primary and secondary metabolites

Primary metabolites are not species-specific and thus might be identical in some organisms. Secondary metabolites are species-specific and thus are different in different organisms. Primary metabolites are involved in the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms.Aug 18, 2020

Why are dna and dna replication important
Semmy [17]
DNA is important because it is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of every living thing.  

DNA replication is important because cells multiply through replication, and if DNA could not replicate then cell replication would not be possible.  This is important for growth and healing.

Without DNA and DNA replication almost all living organisms would not exist.

How does the semipermeable membrane work?
Iteru [2.4K]
When glucose is taken into the cell, the fluids or solutions in the cell become more concentrated  (due to the absorbed glucose) than the fluids outside the cell. When this happens, a natural process called osmosis takes place .

Osmosis is defined as the movement of molecules of a solvent (in this case water) through a semi-permeable membrane (in this case the cell membrane) from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one in a bid to to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.

<span>Water will therefore leave the less concentrated solution outside the cell, pass through the cell membrane and into the more concentrated solution.</span>
