Answer:

THE NIGHTMARE

I woke up with a start, sweating profusely, my heart pounding erratically against my chest. My hands were shaking uncontrollably and I held my pillow close to my chest to clam my nerves. I had heard it. There was no doubt in it. A loud, high-pitched shriek, which sounded nothing like a human cry. It was surreal, making a shiver to creep up my spine. I twisted my hands together in nervousness, and murmured a prayer to god. The ghostly sound had resonated from beneath my bed. I had read way too many horror stories to not be scared by now. My throat felt dry and parched and I longed for a sip of water. But I had to go downstairs to fetch the jug. That meant I had to get down from my bed. And there was no way I would do that. Not now, when I was literally scared to death. I swallowed hard. My breathing had slowed down a bit but my heartbeat was still erratic. I perked up my ears and waited to see if the shrieks continued. I badly wanted to cover myself with my blanket but I was too scared to move an inch. I waited for about a minute and could hear no sound. This eased me a bit. Just when I mustered the courage to lie back down and go back to sleep, I felt a shadow whisk past me, sending the curtains flying. I brought my hands to my mouth to stop myself from crying out in terror. It was the silhouette of a girl, a tall, slender figure that I was sure by now was somewhere around me. I felt my eyes brimming with tears but I held my cries back. It was when the shadow reappeared, this time closer to me, near my nightstand. And before I could register what was happening or cry out loud for help, the figure advanced towards me, and all of a sudden, held me in a death grip. I felt myself being choked so tightly that no sound was escaping my mouth, black dots swimming in my vision. Soon enough, I plunged into darkness. After what felt like hours, I opened my eyes to be greeted with the golden rays of the sun streaming in through the window near my bed. I had a slightly blurry memory of yesterday night. I felt around my surroundings, and was met by relief when I could feel the blankets and my pillow beside me. Overjoyed by the fact that I was safe, and that it all had been just a silly nightmare, I thanked God and got out of bed to start my day.

What are two diffrences between replication and transcription?
Ghella [55]
Replication - The action of copying or reproducing something.
DNA replication of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

Transcription - First step to gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language.

1.) Transcription involved both DNA and RNA, whilst replication only involves DNA.
2.) Replication uses two identical replicas of DNA, whilst transcription is copied.

In 1665, a scientist named Robert Hooke examined a thin piece of cork through a microscope. The drawing below represents what he
-Dominant- [34]

The Englishman Robert Hooke (18th July 1635 - 3rd March 1703) was an architect, natural philosopher and brilliant scientist, best known for his law of elasticity (Hooke's law), his book Micrographia, published in 1665 and for first applying the word "cell" to describe the basic unit of life. It is also less well known that there is substantial evidence that Hooke developed the spring watch escapement, independently of and some fifteen years before Huygens, who is credited for this invention. Hooke also is recognised for his work on gravity, and his work as an architect and surveyor.


Hooke's Micrographia

Here, we focus on his pioneering work using the microscope to document observations of a variety of samples in his book Micrographia, published in September 1665.


Hooke began his famed career by initially studying at Wadham College, Oxford, where he worked closely under John Wilkins with other contemporaries, including Thomas Willis and Robert Boyle, for whom he built the vacuum pumps used in Boyle's gas law experiments. He also built some of the earliest telescopes, observing the rotations of Mars and Jupiter, and, based on his observations of fossils, was an early proponent of biological evolution. If that wasn't enough, he investigated the phenomenon of refraction, deducing the wave theory of light, and was the first to suggest that matter expands when heated and that air is made of small particles separated by relatively large distances, yet curiously Robert Hooke is somewhat overlooked in his contributions to science, perhaps as there were many people who wrote of Hooke as a difficult personality, being described as of "cynical temperament" and of "caustic tongue". There were also disputes with fellow scientists, including disputes with Isaac Newton over credit for work on gravitation and the planets. Though it must be remembered that Hooke lived at a time of immense scientific progress and discovery and none of the above diminish Hooke'
