The two new strands are different from each other ,both of them have only one strand from the original DNA and the other strand is complementary . eg if a strand has the following base pairs .. AACCGGT ( consider this as the strands)
                                                           TTGGCCA
now they are going to be seperated AACCGGT     TTGGCCA
                                                         TTGGCCT      AACCGGT
as u can see the two NEW strands formed are similar but NOT IDENTICAL to each other .

Answer:

Not Identical but complementary

Explanation:

The two strands of DNA are not identical or exactly the same. However, the base units of both the DNA strands are same. Generally the base pairs or codon of the two DNA strands are complementary to each other. As per the Chargaff rule  

A joins with T  

and C joins with G

Let us suppose the structure of base DNA strand is ACC TGG ATA CCG

Then the structure of other base strand is TGG ACC TAT GGC

Hence, the two new strands of DNA are different, opposite or complementary  to each other.

Which statements about the cycle of weathering, erosion, and deposition are true? Check all that apply.
kompoz [17]

The correct statements are-

Erosion occurs even when the mountains are forming. Erosion is the movement of sediments from the broken rocks through the agents like gravity, wind, water and others. It is a constant process occurring even while the mountains are forming. It is affected by gravity.

When new mountains or plateaus form, the cycle starts over. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks by the weathering agents. These sediments move due to the process of erosion. A new sediment may be dropped nearby or in a new place by the process of deposition. Weathering, erosion and deposition occur together as a cycle and have almost leveled the land surface.

Weathering, erosion and deposition have almost leveled earth’s surface. These three processes occur as a cycle and have almost leveled the land surface.

A. At what time of day does photosynthesis take place?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Naturally: only during daylight hours

Artificially: all 24 hours (under perfect circumstances)

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can only occur when a plant receives energy from a light source. Naturally, the light source would be the sun which is only around for a certain amount of hours. If the plant is under an artificial light source, like a lamp, then photosynthesis can occur at all hours of the day.
