Answer:

A- Relieving strain in the DNA ahead of replication fork.

Explanation:

During transcription or replication, DNA double helixed strand unwinds catalysed by the helicase enzyme, they break the hydrogen bonds that holds the two strands together. When DNA unwinds, supercoils are created in the replication fork, if it is not dealt with, transcription or replication will come to a halt. Topoisomerase enzymes are there to relieve DNA by cutting the phosphate backbone of either single or both strands of DNA, preventing supercoils.

What is the appropriate dose of 1:10,000 (0.1 mg/ml) concentration of epinephrine for endotracheal administration to a baby weig
vlada-n [284]
I believe the appropriate dose will be 1.5 mL, 
Epinephrine is used for both allergic reaction and heart attacks, in an effort to increase blood flow through veins and to reduce swelling in airways. When epinephrine is recognized by receptors on smooth muscles, it causes airway-blocking muscle constriction to subside. Other drugs that may be administered by the endotracheal route include atropine sulfate, lidocaine hydrochloride, naloxone hydrochloride, and metaraminol bitartrate.

How do scientists determine the thickness of the Earth's layers?
alina1380 [7]

Answer: the relative differences in arrival times of the S and P seismic waves at several recording stations tell scientists about the different speeds those waves were traveling at, which in turn gives information about the density of the material the layer is made of, and how thick the layer is in several directions.

Explanation:Earth's layers

Which of the following processes includes all the others?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Passive transport.

Explanation:

The transport of molecules across the plasma membrane can occur by the two process- active transport and passive transport. No amount of energy is required during the active transport.

Passive transport includes the diffusion and osmosis. Both the diffusion and osmosis do not require energy and the molecules move down from the region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration. Small molecules, ions and proteins can go through the passive transport.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

How do the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis compare with their parent cell when it was in G 1 of the cell cy
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

b. The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and the same amount of DNA.

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell division that maintains the DNA amount and chromosome number in daughter cells. This is due to the fact that each mitosis is preceded by one round of DNA replication in S phase.

For example, if the parent cell had 2n DNA in 46 chromosomes, the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis would also have 2n DNA in 46 chromosomes.
