Replication is the process where DNA molecules copies itself to form another DNA molecule during cell division. it involves several enzymes which includes DNA helicase, the enzyme that unwounds the DNA double helix. RNA primase, it is an enzyme that creates an RNA primer. DNA polymerase, it is the enzyme that matches and lays down nucleotides to form the new DNA daughter. DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments by catalysing the formation of phosphodiester bond.
S-shaped growth curve(sigmoid growth curve) A pattern of growth in which, in a new environment, the population density of an organism increases slowly initially, in a positive acceleration phase; then increases rapidly, approaching an exponential growth rate as in the J-shaped curve.
When tryptophan is not available in the environment, the trp repressor is inactive. Therefore, RNA polymerase can bind to the promoter.
The average kinetic energy of molecules in the air is called temperature.
