Helicase breaks hydrogen bonds of the DNA helix. Therefore it “unzips” the DNA helix and separates the strands for free complementary RNA strands which use the strands as a template during replication.
Answer:
Scientists learn how climatic changes during the ice age affected life in this region by analyzing specimens found in these tar pits
Explanation:
La Brea Tar Pits are a group of tar pits in Los Angeles. Many preserved remains of ancient organisms (i.e., fossils) were extracted from the tar, including, among others, Western horses, prehistoric camels, three-toed tapirs, rodent bones, insects, mollusks, wood, plants, etc. The oldest fossils have been dated to be approximately 38,000 years ago by radiometric techniques. Moreover, the Last Glacial Period was the most recent glacial period within the Quaternary glaciation, which encompassed the period between 115,000 to 10,000 years ago. This period (LGP) encompassed the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which occurred about 20,000 years ago. In consequence, many of the fossils found in La Brea Tar Pits evidence how the ice age affected life in this region. Moreover, many of the fossil species extracted from the tar are still present today, thereby indicating how these species adapted to fluctuating climatic conditions, whereas certain species couldn't adapt fast enough as the environment changed and therefore they went extinct.
Smoking during pregnancy affects your and your baby's health before, during, and after your baby is born. The nicotine (the addictive substance in cigarettes), carbon monoxide, lead, arsenic, and numerous other poisons you inhale from a cigarette are carried through your bloodstream and go directly to your baby. Smoking while pregnant will:
<span>Lower the amount of oxygen available to you and your growing babyIncrease your baby's heart rate<span>Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth</span>Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weightIncrease your baby's risk of developing respiratory problems</span>
The more cigarettes you smoke per day, the greater your baby's chances of developing these and other health problems. There is no "safe" level of smoking for your baby's health.
Answer:
Cytoplasm: Fluid between the cell membrane and the nucleus. helps protect organelles
Nucleus: A part of the cell containing hereditary information and is responsible for growth and reproduction; the "command center" of the cell.
Ribosome: A small particle in the cell that can make proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum: A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.
Golgi Apparatus: A cell structure that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell or for storage inside the cell.
Lysosome: Cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell, such as large food particles or old parts of the cell. May be found only in animal cells.
Vacuole: Saclike storage structure in the cell. can store water, nutrients, and even toxic substances.
Mitochondrion: An organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy. (Metabolism/respiration)
Chloroplast: An organelle found in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (photosynthesis).
Cell membrane: The thin, flexible barrier around a cell; controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Cell wall: The structure outside of the cell membrane that is used to provide support and protection. Present in plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes.
