Answer: Tightly wound chromosomes, composed of DNA, must unwind before replication. Cell replication splits a cell into two parts, both of which become new, fully functioning cells. Before this can happen, however, cells require a full complement of DNA for each of the new daughter cells that will form as a result of the split. Because of this, DNA makes a copy of itself in a process known as replication during interphase, a stage that occurs before cells divide.
Cell Phases: Mitosis is the process by which parent cells each divide into two identical daughter cells. However, this majority of the cell's time is spent in interphase, during which it performs normal metabolic functions necessary for the organism, such as manufacturing protein. DNA occurs during the S phase of interphase, sandwiched between the G1 and G2 phases. The cell uses checkpoint signals to ensure at the end of G1 that it is big enough to replicate and at the end of G2 to determine whether or not DNA replication has succeeded. If so, the cell can undergo mitosis, at which point DNA winds up tightly for easy transport during the process.
DNA Replication: Replication begins with DNA unwinding and unzipping, its two strands coming apart. While only one side is the “correct” code, containing the actual genetic information used to build the organism’s proteins, both can be the base for a new strand of complete DNA. The enzyme DNA polymerase matches up each base with the correlating base: adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine. When each pre-existing base has been matched to a nucleotide, which also contains the sugar and phosphate of the DNA’s backbone, the strand is complete.
The answer to the first one is c and the answer to the second one is also c
Answer:
3' to 5'; 5' to 3'
Explanation:
The DNA strand with 3' to 5' polarity serves as a template for the process of transcription. Using the 3' to 5' DNA template strand, the enzyme RNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of RNA. The ribonucleotides are bonded together by phosphodiester bonds that are formed in 5' to 3' direction only. The formation of RNA occurs in 5' to 3' direction. The DNA template strand has a complementary nucleotide sequence to the newly synthesized RNA.
The six most common elements inliving things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Atoms of these elementscombine and form thousands of large molecules. These large molecules make up the structures of cells and carry out many processes essential to life.
