Question: Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?

It is synthesized toward the replication fork.

It is synthesized in the 3′ to 5′ direction.

It is synthesized away from the replication fork.

It is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.

Answer:

The two statements that are true for the leading strand in DNA are "it is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction"

Explanation:

Leading strand in DNA is the strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction where the replication fork is moving. The movement of replication fork allows the access of template for the new DNA. The DNA synthesis is continuous in the leading strand. It is synthesized in the 5' to 3' as DNA synthesis always takes place in this direction. This is because dNTP ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) provides free 3' OH group where new dNTP can be added by the enzyme DNA polymerase.

Pea contains only 0.25% phenylethyl alcohol because high concentrations inhibit both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.
sdas [7]

If the alcohol concentration in PEA agar was increased, it would inhibit both Gram - and Gram + bacteria by breaking down membrane absorbency barrier, tolerating influx of substances that are generally blocked and leakage of cellular potassium. High alcohol concentrations would lead to disruption or halting of DNA synthesis in both Gram + and Gram - bacteria

For most women, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months of the baby’s life
Naily [24]

Answer:

3- Breast-feeding can reduce an infant’s risk of infection, allergies, and certain chronic diseases.

.4- All mothers should consume 500 kcal extra daily while breast-feeding until weaning of the infant.

5- Women with AIDS or active tuberculosis should feed formula rather than breast-feed.

Explanation:

Breastfeeding is also a great benefit to the environment and society, that is, it does not require the use of energy for manufacturing or create waste or air pollution. Also, there is no risk of contamination and it is always at the right temperature and ready to feed. Given the importance of breastfeeding for the health of mothers and babies, Centers for Disease Control and prevention supports breastfeeding through hospital initiatives, work-site accommodation, continuity of care and community support initiatives. Colostrum is the earliest breast-milk produced, beginning in mid-pregnancy (12-18 weeks) and is continually produced for the first few days after baby's birth, it provides all the nutrients and fluid that your newborn needs in the early days, as well as many substances to protect your baby against infections.  Mothers with untreated and active tuberculosis infections are not advised to breastfeed. They may breastfeed after their infection is cured or brought under control so that it does not spread to the infant.

Elanso [62]
The <span>hardy-weinberg equation is
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
where are already given with
c = 0.1 and C = 0.9
SO
p2 = 0.9^2
p2 = 0.81
q2 = 0.01
0.81 + 2pq - 0.01 = 1
2pq = 0.18
The answers are
CC = 0.81
cc = 0.01
Cc = 0.18</span><span />
