Biology
1 answer:
Katarina [22]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. They all use a cut and paste mechanism.

Explanation:

DNA transposons can go through a replicative or nonreplicative transposition.

The replicative transposition uses a "copy and paste" mechanism that consists of the introduction of a new copy of the transposable element in a new position, meanwhile <u>the old copy remains in the original position</u>. This determines an increase in the number of copies.

The nonreplicative transposition uses a "cut and paste" mechanism that consists of the cleavage of the transposable element from its position and its <u>insertion in a new position</u> without increasing the number of copies.

Retrotransposons, on the other side, move through RNA intermediates generated by the reverse transcriptase.

Nesterboy [21]

The diastolic pressure refers the  two values are recorded during the measurement of blood pressure.It is the number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.

Less then 80 are the normal diastolic blood pressure. Prehypertension which is indicaated by the blood pressure between 80 to 90. The first, systolic pressure, which represents the peak arterial pressure during systole. The second, that represent minimum arterial pressure during diastole.

the force the heart exerts on the walls of the arteries in between beats can be easily measured by the diastolic blood pressure .Diastolic blood pressure is mainly determined by the total arterial peripheral resistance which majorly influence  Arterial elastance and compliance.
