Answer:
The correct option is D. <u>Helicase</u> is the enzyme that unwinds that double stranded DNA at the beginning of DNA replication.
Explanation:
DNA replication can be described as a process by which the strand of DNA gets duplicated into two new daughter strands.
Helicases can be described as the enzymes whose main function is to unwind the double helix structure of the DNA. The helicases break the hydrogen bonds present between the two strands of DNA. The helicases are the first machinery for DNA replication as they form the replication fork and begin unwinding of the DNA from the origin of replication
Answer:
A punnet square can be described as a diagram which shows the outcomes of a cross between parents. This cross is very helpful to understand the passing of traits from parents to offsprings.
The cross for the above scenario can be shown as:
l l
L Ll Ll
l ll ll
A. There will a 50% chance that the offsprings will have long shaggy fur. There will be a 50% chance that the offsprings will have shorter curly fur.
B. The genotypes of the offsprings will be Ll and ll.
Answer:
Definition:
Biological evolution is the process through which the characteristics of organisms change over successive generations, by means of genetic variation and natural selection. It is most commonly defined as "changes in gene frequencies in populations."
A small change in genes could result in a mass epidemic. Such as the colinistists bringing yellow fever over to America.
Explanation:
Biological evolution refers to the cumulative changes that occur in a population over time. These changes are produced at the genetic level as organisms' genes mutate and/or recombine in different ways during reproduction and are passed on to future generations.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Birds are vertebrates and they also have feathers and reproduce by laying eggs. Additionally, they are also warm blooded.
Answer:
The correct answer to fill in the blank is: transformation.
Explanation:
Transformation is a process that happens to a) cells when they change their phenotypes due to new genetic material, or b) cultured cells that keep having spontaneous phenotypic alterations due to the changes in their DNA.
Transformation can occur because spontaneously, or because of an infection with a transforming virus, gene transfection, exposure to chemical carcinogens or exposure to ionizing radiations.
