Answer:

Lightning can be best described as an electrical discharge, which is caused by the imbalances between the clouds and the storm and the ground or sometime within the cloud. It carries around 20,000 to 30,000 ampere of current when it comes to the ground.

It is not only the direct hit of the lightning that make you worry, but any strike that is close to us can be dangerous to us as it results in the release of huge amount of electricity in the surrounding area.

Before a cell can divide, it must copy one ___ at a time in a process called DNA replication
Mkey [24]

Before a cell can divide, it must copy one NUCLEOTIDE at a time in a process called DNA replication.

DNA replication is the process by which two identical DNA molecules are formed from one single, original DNA parent molecule. DNA replication takes place in all living organisms and is the basis for inheritance. During this process, the DNA make a copy of itself by copying all the nucleotide that are present in it.
