C. They create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

Good luck!

Answer: They create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

The temperature and salinity has a major impact on water current of oceanic water. The warm water is usually less denser than colder water, so it remains at the surface of water body, whereas the colder water being more in density remain in a depth. The salinity of cold water is more than the warm water.

According to the above explanation, they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them is the correct explanation.

Which enzyme catalyzes the elongation of a DNA strand in the 5' → 3' direction by adding nucleotides to the end of a growing DNA

Ivan

Answer:

DNA polymerase

Explanation:

DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the reaction of adding nucleotide to growing complementary daughter strand of DNA in the direction of 5' → 3' during elongation in the process of replication. This process requires energy which is taken from nucleotides with three phosphate groups in their backbone similar to ATP (adenine triphosphate)

DNA Replication is when DNA multiplies and make exact copies of itself as part of gene transfer.

What is the best description of what viruses are made of?

Mazyrski [523]

The answer is C.

A virus is made up of or consists of a nucleic acid in varying quantity which may either be RNA or DNA.

The nucleic acid is surrounded by a protein shell called a capsid. The word capsid comes from the Latin word capsa which means box.The capsid and the nucleic acid within it are together referred to as nucleoprotein.The capsid is made up of small sub units called capsomeres.

In many viruses, the nucleoprotein makes up the whole virus. More complex viruses have one or more further enclosing structures also made mostly of protein. These structures are referred to as envelopes and each envelop is specific to a particular virus.
