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.

Economic importance of tilapia fish
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Tilapia is one of the most productive and internationally traded food fish in the world. The production of farmed tilapia is among the fastest expanding food sectors in the world. Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus) is the most cultured freshwater species among the farmed tilapia and contributes about 71% of the world total tilapia production.

Tilapia is one of the most important farmed fish species worldwide (FAO 2018) and an important source of protein (Fitzsimmons 2000;Hai 2015). Due to its sequenced genome (Conte et al. 2017), easy reproduction, efficiency in adapting to diverse diets, high resistance to diseases and handling practices, and high tolerance of a wide variety of husbandry conditions, it is considered an ideal model in toxicological research.

Why are lipids important as food molecules?
olga nikolaevna [1]
One of the main functions lipids do is storing energy. If a person eats excessive amount of food, lipids help store the energy in the form of fat molecules in the body to use later.

Hope this helps!
