Answer:

(B) semiconservative.

Explanation:

According to the model proposed by Watson and Crick, the DNA molecule consists of two polynucleotide chains arranged on a helix around an imaginary axis, rotating to the right (a double helix). That is, the DNA molecule is in the shape of a spiral staircase, in which the "steps" are made up of nucleotide nitrogen bases and the "handrails" are covalently linked phosphate and sugar - so it is said that DNA is shaped like a helical ribbon. Also according to Watson and Crick DNA replication is semi-conservative, because each strand of DNA will give rise to another strand that will be complementary to its nucleotides.

Which of the following statements about chromosomal inversions is NOT true?

podryga [215]

Answer:

Answer is E.

Explanation:

Chromosomal inversion is a situation involving the segment of a chromosome where it is turned upside down and reinserted back into the chromosome. This usually occurs because of a breakage and rearrangement occurring within a single chromosome.

It is of a two types, these are

* Paracentric chromosomal inversion - a type where a segment not including the centromere is snipped out, inverted, and inserted back to its location on chromosome.

* Pericentric chromosomal inversion - is a type where a segment including the centromere is snipped out, inverted, and inserted back to its original location on chromosome.
