What do we call the process where part of the DNA is saved during replication?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The process where part of the DNA is saved during replication is known as semi conservative replication.

Explanation:

During cell division, a cell must first replicate its DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).  When a cell divides into daughter cells , the DNA of the parent cell must be copied because DNA contains the genetic material of an organism. DNA replication is the process in which DNA is copied  during the cell  division cycle.  During replication, the complementary strands of the original double helix DNA are separated and one of the two strands in the original molecule is saved in the new DNA molecule. Thus the new DNA molecule is made of an original strand and a newly synthesized strand. So the DNA replication is known as semi conservative replication. Each strand of the original DNA molecule is referred as the template strand because it provides information for the production of newly synthesized strand. It takes place inside the nucleus of a cell during the s stage  of the cell cycle. During replication, helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases (Adenine with Thymine, Cytosine with Guanine) and unwinds the double helix of DNA. The two separated strands create a Y-shaped replication fork and act as templates for the synthesis of new strands of DNA. Enzymes known as DNA polymerases create the new strands.

Doctors are seeing an alarming increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) that is resistant to drugs commonly used to
WARRIOR [948]

Ans.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that affects mainly respiratory tract and can be transmitted from one to another person through contaminated air. The causative agent of tuberculosis, <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> has developed resistance against many antibiotics, such as rifampin and isoniazid, which is known as tuberculosis drug resistance.

If a person infected with TB shows drug resistance against some TB drugs, 'doctors should give other TB drugs to that person, even if these drugs show less effect than common drugs'. This is because these drugs can prevent or kill the bacterium more effectively than the common drugs for which, bacterium is resistance.
