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.

krok68 [10]

Anything that  says further apart is incorrect. So B is incorrect.

A is correct as near as I can tell.

C is not correct. The particles. I think C is the right answer supplied with the wrong reason. Regretfully, you can't choose it.

Same answer as C for D. Right answer wrong reason.

Answer A.

What causes magnetic striping noticed about mid ocean ridges?
Bezzdna [24]

<span>
Magnetic Striping
<span> 

</span><span>The confirmation of the theory of plate tectonics relies on key insights and scientific experimentation.  One of these is the knowledge of the magnetic properties of ocean crust.</span><span>Early in the 20th century, Bernard Brunhes in France and Motonari Matuyama in Japan recognized that rocks generally belong to two groups based on their magnetic properties.  One group known as normal polarity has within its mineral composition a polarity similar to the Earth’s magnetic north.  The magnetic properties of the other group, called reversed polarity, is the opposite of the Earth’s present day magnetic field.   The reason, tiny grains of magnetite found within the volcanic basalt that make up the ocean floor behave like little magnets. These grains of magnetite can align themselves with orientation of the Earth’s magnetic field.  How?  As magma cools, it locks in a recording of the Earth’s magnetic orientation or polarity at the time of fooling. </span><span>The Earth’s magnetic field is similar to the field generated by a bar magnet with its north end nearly aligned with the geographic North Pole.  Yet the Earth’s field is the result of a more complex, dynamic process: the rotation of the planet’s fluid iron rich core.  Scientists have known for centuries that the Earth’s magnetic field is dynamic and evolving.  The magnetic field drifts slowly westward at a rate of 0.2 degrees per year. </span><span>However, over tens of thousands of years, this field undergoes far more dramatic changes known as magnetic reversals. During this reversal, south becomes north and north south apparently in a geological blink of an eye – perhaps over a period of a few thousands years.  What these reversals recorded were stripes on seafloor maps-- stripes of alternating normal and reversed polarities of ocean crust.  These “stripes” formed the pattern known as magnetic striping.</span><span>The ocean floor had a story to tell.  That story would unfold in the work of three scientists.  In 1962, two British scientists, Frederick Vine and Drummond Mathews, and Canadian geologist Lawrence Morley working independently suspected that this pattern was no accident.  They hypothesized that the magnetic striping was produced from the generation of magma at mid-ocean ridges during alternating periods of normal and reversed magnetism by the <span>magnetic reversals </span>of the Earth’s magnetic field. </span>
