Answer:

The correct answer is B. Mismatch repair

Explanation:

Mismatch repair pathway recognizes the mismatched base pair that incorporated during DNA replication and then excise that incorrect base. After excision, it repairs the DNA.

The mismatched daughter strand is distinguished from the parent strand by mismatch repair system as the parent strand is methylated at some bases but the daughter strand is not methylated.  

Three proteins help in mismatch repair MutH, MutL, MutS. Mut H and Mut S recognize the mismatch, Mut H excise the unmethylated strand from 5' side. Then helicase and exonuclease enzymes clave the segment from cleavage site to beyond the mismatch base.  

The gap created by this action is filled by DNA polymerase and sealed by enzyme DNA ligase.

When you are rating evidence by its value, weigh the benefits of one good fingerprint versus hair and fiber evidence. Fully expl
Zinaida [17]

Answer: Conviction based on the support of the physical fingerprint is a more reliable evidence over hair and fiber evidences.

Explanation:

Physical fingerprint has more value than hair and fiber evidences. As no two fingers can have exactly alike fingerprints belonging to the same person. The fingerprints of two identical twins cannot be alike but DNA evidence obtained from hair, fiber, or any other biological evidences can show similarity. Thus physical fingerprint have more value over DNA fingerprint it can directly related to a suspect to whom it belongs to depending upon the uniqueness of the minutiae characteristics.

Seismologists inge lehamann studied earthquakes. Which layer of earth did she predict to be solid after observing the motion of
arsen [322]

Inner core  was found to be solid after observing the motion of P waves.

Explanation:

Seismologist Inge Lehmann, studied the seismic waves of an earthquake and discovered about inner core in the mantle layer of Earth. She States that there is a boundary of discontinuity between the outer and inner core of Earth.

She studied the travel of secondary and primary waves during an earthquake and how it flows at different shells of Earth's layer which helped her in finding about the inner core of mantle. She observed that the inner core is a solid layer inside the molten layer of outer core
