Answer:

The process of making a copy of gene is called DNA replication.

Explanation:

This is a four step process. In first step, the DNA molecule which is double helical structure is unzip. This is carried out by enzyme called helicase which is also called biological scissors. Then after that DNA form Y like structure having complementary base pairs. Two strands are formed ; leading strand and lagging strands. They complementary base pairs allow the formation of new strands with help of primer. So new strand is then a copy of gene or called replicated strand.

Elza [17]
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.

9. WHY IS THIS (ANSWER TO #8. FROM ABOVE) MOLECULE SO IMPORTANT?
lana66690 [7]

Biological structures like DNA, proteins and cells all depend on molecules. ... Neurotransmitters like epinephrine are pretty simple molecules, but without them our nervous system couldn't work. Oxygen, containing just two oxygen atoms, is a very simple molecule, and it is certainly essential to living things.

Why is the rock cycle more of a “web” than a circle?
Romashka [77]
It is more of a web because it can start in any order and move into any rock type. example being you can start as a sedimentary rock and turn into a metamorphic rock or igneous rock. a cycle starts anywhere and then goes into a specific cycle.
