Answer:

B. Multiple origins of replication are activated per chromosome.

Explanation:

DNA replication runs in 2 directions (bidirectional), starting at the origin of replication an moving in both directions from that point. A eukaryotic chromosome may be replicating at many points along its length at any one time.

DNA is always copied in a 5´ ⇒ 3´ direction, this makes the lagging strand to be synthesized discontinuously as short okazaki fragments.

The whole process happens at the same time in both strands in a replication fork. DNA may have different replication forks at the same time to speed up the process.

Nataly [62]

Hi

It is true that on the Galapagos islands Darwin observed tortoises with a dome and saddle shaped shells, you can see both in attached image.

Darwin observed that Galapagos Tortoises had the shells with different shapes depending on the Island they live, For example: The tortoises with saddle shaped shells were able to reach up to eat leaves of plants while the tortoises with dome shaped shells would not reach up and they would eat food from on ground sources. This made him think that the differences in tortoise shell is also a strong evidence that indicates that how tortoises have adapted themselves to better get their food as per the available resources and how they have evolved from same ancestral specie into two different species. This point also helped him in proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Hope it helps!

In the lab, you use a special balloon that is permeable to water but not sucrose to make an "artificial cell." The balloon is fi
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. water will leave the balloon.

Explanation:

As the sucrose concentration is higher in the solution, the water in the balloon, where the sucrose is less concentrated, will tend to leave and try to dilute the outer solution until both sucrose concentrations are equal. But as the water leaves the balloon, the concentration inside will increase, so it will flow outside until both concentrations are equal and not until the outer concentration is similar to the initial concentration in the balloon.

Python allows you to compare strings, but it is not case sensitive.
qwelly [4]
<span>Python is Highly case sensitive language. We can use > , < , <= , <= , == , != to compare two strings. Python compares string using ASCII value of the characters. For example name as "MIDHUN" and name1 as "Midhun" . The first two characters from name and name1 ( M and M ) are compared. As they are equal, the second two characters are compared. Since the ASCII values are not equal the result is not equal.</span>
