Answer:

C) DNA opens up and each strand is used as a template for a new strand.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is present in the form of a double helix. The hydrogen bonds between the two DNA strands are broken down by the enzyme helicase. This enzyme uses the energy of the hydrolysis of ATP to perform the denaturation of DNA. Breaking of hydrogen bonds separates the two DNA strands from each other. Now, each of the DNA strands serves as a template which means that its nucleotide sequence would specify the nucleotide sequence of the newly formed strand. The process is catalyzed by the enzyme DNA polymerase in a primer dependent manner.

What would happen to a cell if its mitochondria stopped working? And why would it happen!?
mestny [16]
The cell would die. This is because mitochondria are essential for making energy that the cell can use, if the mitochondria stopped working this energy would not longer be available to the cell. If the cell does not have energy, it cannot perform vital functions like respiration.

Susan is planting her garden and choosing plants at the local plant nursery. She tells the clerk that she wants to plant perenni
topjm [15]

Answer:

C. Sprout every year, year after year

Explanation:

The perennial plants are the plants that live for more then two years, thous some may argue that they are plants that live more then three years. Whichever the case, they are not short-lived plants, but are capable of surviving for numerous years, unlike the annuals and biennials. Theoretically, the shrubs and trees would fall into this category, but they are classified separately, and this term is not used for them, but for smaller plants that do not have or have very little woody parts. These plants tend to sprout every year, and even though they seemingly die in the autumn, their roots are alive, and they emerge and grow again in the spring, sprouting again. That process repeats itself for numerous years.
