Answer:

(B) adding the free nucleotides to the complementary strand of DNA

Explanation:

A DNA polymerase is an enzyme capable of creating new DNA molecules by sequentially adding nucleotides to the three prime (3')-end of a DNA strand. A DNA strand is a polynucleotide chain composed of a linear series of nucleotides, each consisting of a deoxyribose sugar, and phosphate, and a base (i.e., thymine, guanine, cytosine and adenine). Before a cell starts to divide, it needs first to replicate its genetic material by using DNA polymerases that duplicate the cell's DNA during the interphase (S phase). During this process (DNA replication), an enzyme known as helicase unwinds the DNA molecule, which is made up of two antiparallel strands oriented in opposite 3′-5′ directions to each other. Subsequently, each strand is used as a template for its replication through DNA polymerases that can add nucleotides (one at time) to an existing short fragment of RNA, i.e., the primer sequence, which is paired with the template DNA strand.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

the function of DNA polymerase is to unzip the double helix structure of DNA by breaking down the weak hydrogen bond

Why might a cell make lots of rRNA but only one copy of DNA?​
marin [14]
RRNA is used to create a ribosome where translation occurs. So,more rRNA mean more translated proteins. But the cell need one Copy of DNA that contain the whole number of genes that the cell need to live or to make mRNA to make proteins.

Answer:

A theory is the most logical explanation of events that occur in nature. The explanation often results from the use of the scientific method. First, a problem must be stated. Then, after gathering information, a hypothesis, or logical solution, is formed. The solution is then tested in an experiment. The factor that is tested in an experiment is called the variable. This factor is not contained in the control setup. Sometimes principles of chemistry, the study of how substances change and combine, are involved in experiments. At other times, principles of physics are instead.

The metric system is used for all measurements in science. Some basic units in this system are the liter for volume, the kilogram for mass, the degree Celsius for temperature, and the meter for length. Sometimes, the density of a substance, or its mass per unit volume must be measured. If dimensional analysis is needed, a conversion factor must be used.
