Answer:

The phrase "disease is an agent of natural selection" means that those individuals which carry specific genes to resist the disease will be selected by the nature, whereas those individuals which that don't have or not capable of developing resistance genes will be excluded.

It is a well-established fact that diseases (mainly outbreaks) are best action of nature to select only those individuals which can modify there genetic material and thrive against the changing environmental conditions. Let's take the example of Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) this year. From the statistics we know that old people that develop the disease are most likely killed within a few days. However, young people can develop immunity against the virus easily. Hence, nature selects young people and exclude older people. This natural phenomenon is however driven by the disease.

1. What is meant by the term semiconservative replication? How does a leading strand differ from a lagging strand? List the ways
Reil [10]

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.
