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.

Helium atoms contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons (or 2 electrons). Thus, it has a mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2.

Alpha particles are heavy and positively charged, which make them to be deflected in a magnetic or electric charge. So, the helium atoms used as alpha particles for the gold foil experiment must have no negative particle.

Which pedigree symbol is used to represent a female carrier of a recessive X-linked trait?
xeze [42]
The answer is a half-filled circle. 

In the pedigree charts, squares present males and circles present females. If a female is healthy, the circle is empty (white). If a female is affected with a trait, the circle is filled-in (usually black). However, if a female is a carrier of a disease, which means that one allele is dominant and one is recessive, then the circle is half-filled.
