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).

What are DRIs and why are they preferred? Why are they not on food labels?
Pie

DRIs is the general term for a set of reference values or guidelines that are used to plan and asses nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values which vary by age and gender include: 

- Recommended Dietary allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake sufficient to meet nutrient requirements of about 97 - 98% of healthy people.

-Adequate intake (AI): established when evidence is not sufficient to develop an RDA and is set at a level assumed to ensure nutritional adequacy.

- Tolerable Upper Intake (UL): Maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health  effects.

DRIs are not necessarily found on labels because there is no law requiring that they must be placed there.

Classify each statement based on whether it describes prokaryotes only, eukaryotes only, or can describe both prokaryotes and eu
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

unicellular - both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

contain mitochondrion - eukaryotes only

are generally less than 2 pm - Prokaryotes only

multicellular - eukaryotes only

lack membrane-bound organelles - prokaryotes only

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are generally unicellular, that is, they are made up of single cells only. However, there are unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes with some eukaryotes like humans and advanced plants having as many as millions of cells.

Prokaryotes generally lack nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplast and mitochondrion. Eukaryotes on the other hand have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplast.

When it comes to size, prokaryotes are generally small and microscopic while eukaryotes consist of both microscopic and macroscopic cells or organisms. However, prokaryotes are generally smaller than microscopic eukaryotes.
