Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

DNA replication is semi-conservative, which means that during this process one DNA strand will be from the original DNA template, whereas the other DNA strand will be newly synthesized. In the first round of DNA replication, daughter cells receive a DNA molecule containing one original DNA strand and one newly-synthesized DNA strand (in this case, one of these daughter cells will contain a mismatch). If the mismatch is not repaired, then in the second round of replication the DNA molecule containing the mismatch would separate during replication, and the DNA strand containing the erroneous nucleotide will serve as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA molecule, thereby producing a permanent mutation.

What are Homologous Structures in Evolution?
Ierofanga [76]

Because they were passed down from a common ancestor, homologous structures are those found in related organisms that are comparable. These structures might or might not serve the same purpose in their offspring. The hands of various different mammals are depicted in the figure below. The basic skeletal structure of each is the same.

What is offsrping?

a person, animal, or plant's offspring or progeny is the result of reproduction. Parental transmission of the illness can affect children,  a human or animal's direct offspring; a person born of parents  gave birth to a lone child.

Creating offspring is considered reproduction. Reproduction comes in two basic forms: sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. A sexually reproducing creature integrates the genetic material of both parents to create a genetically distinct individual. Asexual reproduction involves the self-replication of one parent to create genetically identical kids.

In order for transcription to happen, DNA must
nalin [4]

Answer: <u>Unwind </u>

Explanation: Transcription is a process where a DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA. A complementary mRNA strand is made from the DNA strand. This mRNA is then later used to make proteins. In this process the junk information, present in DNA in form of introns is also spliced.

DNA is a double stranded structure, which is present in helical structure and both the strands are twisted together. In order to make the mRNA copy with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase, DNA must open up. Then only RNA polymerase will be able to access the nucleotides of DNA.
