Answer:
B) meteorite sample
Explanation:
The age of the solar system, derived from the study of meteorites (thought to be the oldest accessible material around) is near 5 billion years; that of the Earth is taken as 4.6 billion years. The oldest rocks on Earth are dated as 3.8 billion years.
Answer:
DNA ligase
Explanation:
DNA replication is an enzyme mediated, 3-step process during which the DNA molecule produces a copy of itself. The 3 steps involved are as follows;
- initiation
- elongation
- termination
<em>Initiation </em>involves the unwinding of the double helix structure of the DNA using DNA helicase enzyme
<em>Elongation</em> involves binding of RNA primer to the DNA strands and addition of bases to the primer<em> </em>to elongate the new chains. Bases are added to the leading strand continuously while the lagging strand is replicated in short segments (okazaki segments).
<em>Termination</em> involves the unbinding of RNA primer and substitution of its bases by DNA bases. The Okazaki fragments are then joined together using the DNA ligase enzyme.
<em>The short, numerous segments of DNA observed in the mixture is the Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand. This is due to the absence of the enzyme involved in the joining of these fragments.</em>
Hence, the answer is DNA ligase.
Answer: 1.3 to 1.1 billion years.
Explanation: The oldest rocks in the New York Bight region are found in surface outcrops throughout the Highlands region. These exposures of Precambrian "basement rock" have been estimated at 1.3 to 1.1 billion years old.
Answer:
mitosis
Explanation:
<em>Mitosis produces daughter cells that are basically replicas to their parent cells. As the daughter cells duplicates itself, it has make sure the chromosomes were split equally.</em>
