Which is correct about dna replication? dna polymerase can build dna from scratch. dna polymerase adds nucleotides in the 3' to

5' direction. the place where the parent dna becomes unzipped during dna replication is called the replication fork. dna is made conservatively. the strand made continuously is the lagging strand?

The correct answer is: C) the place where the parent DNA becomes unzipped during DNA replication is called the replication fork.


DNA Polymerase doesn't build DNA from scratch, rather it adds the correct nucleotides to the complementary parent strand.


DNA Polymerase adds nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction, not the 3' to 5' direction.


DNA is made semiconservatively, meaning that there is a template strand from the parent DNA with a complementary strand being the new daughter strand.


The strand that is made continuously is the leading strand. The lagging strand is not made continuously, as it requires the use of Okazaki fragments.

A human eats a meal and afterward their blood glucose levels rise. Explain how the human body responds to return their blood glu
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The bloodstream carries glucose-a type of sugar produced from the digestion of carbohydrates and other foods-to provide energy to cells throughout the body. Unused glucose is stored mainly in the liver as glycogen.

Insulin , glucagon, and other hormone levels rise and fall to keep blood sugar in a normal range. Too little or too much of these hormones can cause blood sugar levels to fall too low (hypoglycemia) or rise too high (hyperglycemia).

Normally, blood glucose levels increase after you eat a meal. When blood sugar rises, cells in the pancreas release insulin, causing the body to absorb glucose from the blood and lowering the blood sugar level to normal. When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal

Reil [10]
This can cause other organisms that relay on this specific aquifer to find other sources of water or die. 

<span>An aquifer is actually an underground layer of water that contains permeable rocks, gravel, sand etc. the water can be brought to the surface by making a water well. Hydrogeology is the study of aquifers and the way of water flow in the aquifers. The depth of the aquifers differs from area to area and the aquifers that are closest to the surface are used for drinking and irrigation purposes. </span>

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Codominance

Explanation:

Codominance occurs when two heterozygous allele for a trait is expressed equally in the an organism's phenotype with neither allele being dominant or recessive. In codominance, none of the allele hides the expression of the other allele. So when two alleles are crossed, the offspring carries a combination of the parents phenotype without anyone masking the other.

From the question,  the type of genetic pattern of the leopard geckos display is codominance.
