Answer: Strip mining eliminates existing vegetation and alters the soil profile, or the natural soil layers.

Explanation:

Mining disturbs and may even destroy the beneficial micro-organisms in the topsoil. Soil also may be damaged if reclamation operations mix the topsoil with subsoils, diluting matter in the surface soil.

dna replication takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells during interphase. DNA helicase separates the two strands of DNA
aliya0001 [1]

In molecular biology, DNA replication is the biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule. This process occurs in all living organisms and is the basis for biological inheritance. DNA is made up of a double helix of two complementary strands. During replication, these strands are separated. Each strand of the original DNA molecule then serves as a template for the production of its counterpart, a process referred to as semiconservative replication. Cellular proofreading and error-checking mechanisms ensure near perfect fidelity for DNA replication.[1][2]

In a cell, DNA replication begins at specific locations, or origins of replication, in the genome.[3] Unwinding of DNA at the origin and synthesis of new strands results in replication forks growing bi-directionally from the origin. A number of proteins are associated with the replication fork to help in the initiation and continuation of DNA synthesis. Most prominently, DNA polymerasesynthesizes the new strands by adding nucleotides that complement each (template) strand. DNA replication occurs during the S-stage of interphase.

DNA replication can also be performed in vitro (artificially, outside a cell). DNA polymerases isolated from cells and artificial DNA primers can be used to initiate DNA synthesis at known sequences in a template DNA molecule. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a common laboratory technique, cyclically applies such artificial synthesis to amplify a specific target DNA fragment from a pool of DNA.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

23 pairs in meiosis 1 and 23 numbers in meiosis 2.

Explanation:

There are diploid number of chromosomes means double number of chromosomes at the end of meiosis 1 while on the other hand, at the end of meiosis 2, there are haploid number of chromosome means half number of chromosomes in each daughter cell. In humans meiosis 1, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes that is diploid in nature but in the end of meiosis 2, there are only 23 chromosomes in each daughter cell which is haploid in nature.
