What is dna replication?

Biology

Answer:

In DNA replication, cell machinery copies strands of DNA.

Explanation

DNAs, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides. These contain genetic information essential for growth, reproduction, and cell repair.

Nucleotide monomers are made up of, a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,  one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)  and a phosphate group.

Nucleotides, deriving their name from their nitrogenous bases, pair up to form base pairs. In base-pair formation, Adenine and Thymine form double bonds, while cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine...

  1. DNA polymerase facilitates either DNA synthesis, by adding free nucleases to parent strands -these are first unwound and separated by helicases
  2. DNApolys synthesize DNA in 5'-3' direction; due to its restricted movement, there are only two modes of replication: continuous from the point of strand separation, the fork, and discontinuous from the fork.  
  3. In continuous replication, DNApolymerase moves uninterrupted along the 3'-5 oriented template, adding nucleotides to the free hydroxyl group at its 3' end to produce the 5'-3' oriented leading strand.
  4. During the synthesis of the 3'-5' oriented lagging strand, DNApolymerase  moves backwards along the template from the replication fork; DNA helicase separates the strands, and DNApoly's addition of nucleotides is periodically interrupted while  forming discontinuous Okazaki fragments. Ligase enzymes assemble nucleotide strands of RNA and DNA -here, DNAligase assembles these fragments into continuous strands, producing two identical new helixes formed from a parent and newly replicated strand respectively.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

C.) Species

Explanation:

Since you mentioned classifications for animals, the answer would not be families. Genus is a more general classification for animals and groups aren't even part of the classification for animals, so that would leave us with one answer, species.

Hope this helps ya :D

Answer:

3) Condensación del agua en la naturaleza

El vapor de agua sólo se condensará en otra superficie cuando ésta sea más fría que la temperatura del vapor de agua, o cuando el equilibrio de vapor de agua en el aire, es decir, la humedad de saturación, se haya excedido.
