Ionic compounds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms. I hope this helps you out.
Answer:
DNA can replicate itself because its two strands are complementary. This means that one strand can be used as a template to make the other strand. It happens right before cell division via mitosis or meiosis so that each new daughter cell can have a complete genome.
Before replication can start, the double strands of DNA need to separate from each other. An enzyme called DNA helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds that connect the two strands, allowing them to come apart.
The point where this unzipping starts is called an origin point. Eukaryotic DNA can have more than one origin point, but prokaryotes can only have one.
The points where DNA is currently unwinding are called replication forks.

Producers rely on light because that is what they use to "produce" food. Consumers, however, also rely on light, because first of all they need to see, and second of all, the light fuels growth of producers, which in turn, when consumers eat the producers, promote growth of other consumers.
Great question :)
Preserved footprints left behind by animals are called ichnites.
