Answer:

The DNA unravels to make two strands

Explanation:

A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits (A, G, C and T). Each of these chains is known as a DNA strand. Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotides hold the two chains together.

Before a cell divides, its DNA needs to be replicated or duplicated in order to ensure that each new cell receives the correct number of chromosomes. This process of DNA replication occurs in the S-phase of interphase stage during cell cycle.

Before this DNA replication can occur, the length of the DNA double helix about to be copied must be unwound into two single strands. The two strands become separated by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired complementary bases (A-T, G-C). This process of unzipping the double-helical structure into a Y-shape known as replication fork is carried out by DNA HELICASE. The Y-shaped replication fork will be the template for replication to begin.

First, the two strands of DNA unwound, just like a zipper.
D is the right one.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Whale shark

Explanation:

The world's largest fish is the whale shark, which can grow to 40 feet long and weigh an average of 20 tons. The sharks are carnivorous, but they aren't likely to take a nibble out of an unwary surfer – they filter plankton through their enormous mouths while swimming at the surface

podryga [215]

Answer:

2) End Triassic

Explanation:

End Triassic extinction occurred 201 million years ago. It was caused by the rifting of super continent Pangea. Pangea started to break and drift apart. When North america started to separate from Africa, volcanic activity increased. Lava and a large amount of gas was released into the atmosphere specially carbon dioxide. This led to global warming like condition which ultimately caused extinction of a large number of species.

Pepsinogen is an:A) inactive precursor to the enzyme pepsin that digests proteins in the stomach. B) active enzyme that is relea
sasho [114]

Answer:

A. INACTIVE PRECURSOR OF THE ENZYME PEPSIN THAT DIGESTS PROTEINS IN THE STOMACH.

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is the inactive precursor of pepsin produced by the chief cells of the stomach lining. The stomach walls are lined by majorly two types of cells; the chief and the parietal cells. Chief cells secretes pepisinogen and parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid in the stomach lining. The chief cells upon the signals of increased protein substance in the stomach produces pepsinogen which upon it release, it is activated to the active enzyme Pepsin by the hydrochloric acid from the parietal cell. Hydrochloric acid provides the acidic environment needed for the action of pepsin in the stomach. The pepsin begins the digestion of proteins into small amino acids in the stomach,
