Answer:

the tone is the neutral stimulus

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, as first experimented by Pavlov in his experiment with dogs, the bell that was presented initially was the neutral stimulus which was not capable of eliciting salivation alone. He later paired the neutral stimulus (the bell), with the unconditioned stimulus (meat powder) which naturally elicited salivation. The neutral stimulus then became associated with the unconditioned stimulus to eventually trigger salivation when presented alone.

In the situation of the rat of which Mark wants to train it by applying classical conditioning technique, the tone is the neutral stimulus. Except it is paired with the unconditional stimulus which naturally would make the rat blink, it would only attract the attention of the rat without making it to blink.

The attachment of nucleotides to form a complementary strand of DNA during replication
olga2289 [7]

Answer: is accomplished by DNA polymerase.

Explanation: DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a complementary strand of a DNA molecule during replication. The double stranded DNA helix is first unwind by the enzyme known as helicase giving rise to two DNA strands which serve as templates for replication. DNA polymerase then binds to a primer, a short nucleotide sequence and catalyzes the attachment of nucleotides to the primer to form a growing strand that is complementary to the parent DNA.
