The right answer is D.

The origin of replication (also called "ori") is a unique DNA sequence that allows the initiation of replication. It is from this sequence that unidirectional or bidirectional replication begins.

Prokaryotes have a single circular DNA molecule and therefore usually only one origin of replication. Depending on the Archaea species, there may be one or more origins of replication by replicon1. Eukaryotes have multiple origins of replication on each chromosome.

The origin of replication of Escherichia coli is known as oriC and extends over 245 base pairs (bp). It contains upstream of a 13 bp sequence (GATCTNTTNTTTT) repeated three times, and further downstream, four 9 bp (9mer) sequences that are in either orientation. Proteins, called DnaA, will bind to the repeated 9 bp sequences. The DNA will then wrap around the protein complex of DnaA. This conformational change in DNA results in the opening of the DNA double helix at the adenine and thymine-rich 13 bp repeat which allows enzymes and other factors to bind to dissociated strands and start replication.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "C-to-T transition".

Explanation:

When cytosine is hydrolysed or methylated it could result in the formation of an uracil via the deamination of cytosine. The uracil that is formed in the genomic DNA could be repaired by DNA repair pathways, but it could result in the formation of a tyrosine. These series of mutations are known as "C-to-T transition" because it starts with a cytosine and ends with a tyrosine. This kind of somatic mutations are very studied because they had been found in human breast tumors.

I need help with a dang Mono Lake ecosystem thingy
jeyben [28]

Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.

From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.

The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.

In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
