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).

Which of the following best describes the movement of energy in an ecosystem
balu736 [363]

Energy is started from the sun, with 100 percent of the energy given to plants. when the plants are eaten, only 10% of that energy is given to the animal, like a rabbit. When the rabbit is eaten by a larger predator, only 10% is given of the rabbits energy. This continues, so to find the amount of energy within a certain organism you would need to calculate 10% from each original source of energy
