Answer:

Replication proceeds in both directions from a single origin of replication.

Explanation:

The origin of replication is the DNA sequence where the process of DNA replication begins. Prokaryotes such as <em>E. coli</em>, mostly have smaller genome sizes as compared to the eukaryotes and have a single origin of replication. The DNA helicases serve to unwind the DNA at the origin of replication and create replication forks.

The origin of replication is an AT-rich sequence where DNA is easily denatured to produce single strand bubbles or the replication loops. Both the separated DNA strands are replicated simultaneously. The replication is bidirectional which means that both ends of the separated DNA loop have active replication forks. The process of DNA replication continues until both the replication forks meet to replicate the complete DNA.

Describe why biodiversity increased with the introduction of sea otters in California over the last fifty years
Leya [2.2K]

Sea otters affected biodiversity because they control the populations of sea urchins, which endanger kelp forests. Kelp forests are important because they convert sunlight to living material, and they also provide food and habitat to sea creatures. Kelp is important in sustaining the diversity of ecosystems. Additionally, sea otters may also be accountable for the large size of abalones in California.

What is the difference between DNA, chromatin, and Chromosomes?
Serhud [2]
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary material that lies within the nucleus of all cells in humans and other living organisms. Most of the DNA is placed within the nucleus and is called nuclear DNA.

A chromosome is made up of two chromatids which are joined by the centromere. The chromatids separate from each other during mitosis to form two new chromosomes. The DNA making up a chromosome is dispersed as chromatin.

Under a microscope, chromatids look like little dots and chromosomes are lines.

The sudden death of brain cells when their blood supply is interrupted is called
barxatty [35]
The only correct answer in this case is B - a stroke.

None of the other answers could be counted as correct here. 

While A - a heart attack is conceptualy similar, when we're talking about a heart attack, we're talking about not enough oxygen that gets delivered to the heart - because something is blocking it. 

C - hypertension on the other hand means someone has a higher blood pressure than is usual for a regular human being, which puts more strain on his cardiovascualr system. 

and D - atherosclerosis doesn't come even close to be correct :)
