Gala2k [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division. The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a 'Y' shape called a replication 'fork'.

What are the five functions of the skeleton system
Ann [662]
Protection- the cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest

Shape- gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short

Support- holds your vital organs in place when playing sports. The vertebrae column holds the body upright

Movement- muscles are attached to bones, which are joined. When the muscles contract, the bones move

Blood Production- red blood cells(to carry oxygen) and white blood cells(to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones

In your own words, describe what information the visible DNA fingerprint provides for each DNA sample
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The visible DNA fingerprint can help extract DNA which, after analysis, can accurately identify the suspect or perpetrator of the crime.

Explanation:

DNA Fingerprinting:

  • DNA fingerprinting is a molecular analysis tool that can help identify a suspect in a crime through DNA extracted from fingerprints.
  • Specific patterns in the DNA, known as polymorphisms, can be identified through DNA fingerprinting.
  • The DNA fingerprinting process involves:
  1. Extraction and purification of the DNA from the fingerprint.
  2. PCR amplification to obtain high yield.
  3. Fragmentation of the DNA by use of restriction enzymes.
  4. Gel electrophoresis analysis of the fragmented DNA.
  5. Analysis of gel to compare the size of the bands.

Which pattern describes the levels of biodiversity across the fossil record?
Leto [7]
Biodiversity generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. According to the United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP), biodiversity typically measures variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level.[1] Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator,[2] which seems to be the result of the warm climateand high primary productivity.[3] Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richest in the tropics. These tropical forest ecosystems cover less than 10 percent of earth's surface, and contain about 90 percent of the world's species.[4] Marine biodiversitytends to be highest along coasts in the Western Pacific, where sea surface temperature is highest, and in the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans. There are latitudinal gradients in species diversity.[5]Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots,[6] and has been increasing through time,[7][8] but will be likely to slow in the future.[9]

Rapid environmental changes typically cause mass extinctions.[10][11][12] More than 99.9 percent of all species that ever lived on Earth, amounting to over five billion species,[13] are estimated to be extinct.lstimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million,[f which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described] More recently, in May 2016, scientists reported that 1 trillion species are estimated to be on Earth currently with only one-thousandth of one percent described.[18]The total amount of related DNA base pairson Earth is estimated at 5.0 x 1037 and weighs 50 billion tonnes.[19] In comparison, the total mass of the biosphere has been estimated to be as much as 4 TtC (trillion tons of carbon).[20] In July 2016, scientists reported identifying a set of 355 genes from the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) of all organisms living on Earth.[21]

The age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years.[22][23][24] The earliest undisputed evidence of life on Earth dates at least from 3.5 billion years ago,[25][26][27] during the Eoarchean Era after a geological crust started to solidify following the earlier molten HadeanEon. There are microbial mat fossils found in 3.48 billion-year-old sandstone discovered in Western Australia.[28][29][30] Other early physical evidence of a biogenic substance is graphite in 3.7 billion-year-old meta-sedimentary rocks discovered in Western Greenland.More recently, in 2015, "remains of biotic life" were found in 4.1 billion-year-old rocks in Western Australia.[32][33] According to one of the researchers, "If life arose relatively quickly on Earth .. then it could be common in the universe.

Carbon atoms have four electrons in their outer shell (valence electrons). This means that a single carbon atom can form up to _
CaHeK987 [17]
The answer is four bonds because they can use one electron for each bond.
