Biology

ruslelena [56]3 years ago

Natural selection is nature’s way of keeping the best fit-to-live things alive, and so on continue to the next generations.

For example, if a rabbit has a limp, it is bound to be out run and eaten by a predator relatively early in its life (unless it is extremely lucky.) Because of this, it is unable to reproduce, and there genes that it contained to have its limp are unable to spread through inheritance. Natural selection goes both ways. For example, if a hawk has very god vision, it will be able to scope out its prey easily, so it will thrive. Therefore, when it produces offspring of its own, its trait of good eyesight will pass on to its offspring.

So, as enough time goes on, the bad traits will be weeded out and the good ones will remain.

Select the statements that correctly describe how a new DNA molecule reflects the original DNA molecule from which it was copied
goblinko [34]

Answer:

a. DNA replication proceeds in a 5' to 3' direction in the new DNA molecule and in the opposite direction in the original

c. Each new DNA molecule contains an original strand and a newly synthesized strand.

Explanation:

DNA replication is an important process every cell must undergo prior to division. DNA replication is the process whereby DNA content is doubled. It occurs as a result of an enzyme called DNA polymerase, which synthesizes nucleotides.

DNA replication follows the semi-conservative model which uses one original DNA strand to synthesize a new DNA strand. The double-stranded DNA is separated into two single strands which serve as template for new strands. Due to the action of DNA polymerase, DNA replication proceeds in a 5' to 3' direction in the new DNA molecule and in the opposite direction in the original.

Also, each newly synthesized DNA molecule which is similar to one another contains an original strand (template) and a newly synthesized strand.
