Answer:

A. Because of base pairing, each strand has all the information to serve as a template for the other strand.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule composed of two antiparallel polynucleotide chains. This double helix serves as a template for its own duplication. DNA templating refers to the process by which a portion of the DNA molecule in a single strand is used as a template to be copied by complementarity base pairing. According to base-pairing rules, Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine, while Guanine (G) always pairs with Cytosine (C). These nucleotide bases are each linked with their complementary base by hydrogen bonding. When base pairs separate, the hydrogen bond acceptor and donor groups of each strand allow the addition of nucleotides and synthesis of new DNA strands, a process catalyzed by specialized enzymes (DNA polymerases).

Need to write a short news report on how does the brain he brain, heart and skeleton work together
Kitty [74]

The brain, heart and the skeleton are the integral parts of the nervous system, circulatory system and the skeletal system respectively. The nervous system is made of the brain and the spinal cord with neurons as the structural and functional units of it. The circulatory system is made up of the heart and its blood vessels. The skeletal system is made up of the bones and cartilages making the skeleton of the body.

The brain regulates the heart beat and the blood pressure. The heart nourishes the brain with oxygen and nutrients by pumping blood. The bone cells are nourished by the blood pumped by the heart. The bone marrow of the skeleton produces the new red blood cells which enter the blood circulatory system. Also the the ribs and the breast bone of the skeleton protects the heart, the cranium of the skeleton prtects the brain. The bones also provide calcium which is necessory for the functioning of the nervous system. The brain controls the skeletal movements of the body. The cerebellum of the brain controls the voluntary skeletal movements and the medulla controls the involuntary skeletal movements of the body. The blood brain barrier formed by the endothelial cells of the capillary walls located in the brain seperates the circulating blood from the brain and the extraclellular fluid in the central nervous system and acts as a selective semipermeable border.
