Answer:

Only one of the original DNA strands acts as a template during replication.

Explanation:

The DNA of every living cell replicates prior to division. It occurs in the S-phase of interphase stage. The DNA is a long double-helical structure. Before the actual duplication occurs, the double strand of the DNA needs to be unwound. This unwinding is done by HELICASE by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that binds each base pair.

After the unwinding, two separate strands result with only one of the strands serving as a template for the new strand synthesized by DNA polymerase. DNA polymerase enzyme synthesizes new DNA strand by adding nucleotide bases that are complementary to each template strand.

i.e. DNA polymerase will add nucleotide G to the growing strand if it reads nucleotide C on the template strand.

Describe Seymour Brenner's contribution to cracking the genetic code with respect to translation.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Seymour Benzer used phage T4 mutants, Experimental evidence that a gene is a linear sequence of nucleotide pairs. Some regions of chromosomes have "hot spots" for mutations. Benzer's experimental approach to fine structure mapping of the rII locus.  Generated 1612 spontaneous point mutations and several deletions in rII locus identified two complementation groups, rIIA and rIIB.  Mapped locations of deletions relative to each other using recombination.  Mapped locations of point mutations relative to the deletions. Tested for recombination between all point mutations within the same complementation group.

Which method of heat transfer can occur in empty space?.
nordsb [41]
Heat radiation.

This is the form of heat transfer that doesn’t need a medium to transfer through.

That’s how heat from the sun gets to earth, even though empty space is very cold.

vova2212 [387]

The answer is Climate change. It will take decades for the coral reef to recover from the catastrophic climatic changes including El Nino in 1997-98. Climate Change is the main and undeniable threats to the loss of the corals. It has negative effects on coral populations in some ways. This includes the Color Bleaching, Coral Disease, and Ocean Acidification.
