Dna replication is called semiconservative because _______________ of the original duplex appears in the duplex formed in replic

ation.
Biology

finlep [7]4 years ago

HALF.. This is a form of replication where two copies were produced each will contain one of the original strand and the other is a new copy. This happens because each nitrogenous base should pair with the complimentary partner, such as adenine with thymine and cytosine and guanine. DNA replication happens due to the action of enzymes. Each new strands will form an identical copy of the original DNA strand. There are various models proposed to explain how replication occurs. These are the conservative, semiconservative and dispersive.

3 paragraph summary (I'll give brainlist if you do it correctly)
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

alright bet I got this

Explanation:

Have you ever wondered what can happen to those plastic bottles you toss away? How do they decompose? What happens to them? Its simple really, they get eaten! No, not by people of course they are eaten by a tiny critter called a wax worm. The wax worms earn their name because they are often found living in beehives where they eat the beeswax.

Wax worms much like mealworms are used to break down things that would normally be endangering to our environment. These seemingly useless little animals do a whole lot for our environment especially with the amount of waste we produce! They really are a tiny secret hero to todays pollution problem.

After quite a few studies scientists are still unsure on how was worms can breakdown plastic with their tiny bodies but they appreciate the work these little recyclers do. They have a lot of theories on how these worms do this one of the theories is that bacteria can break it down, another theory is that enzymes in the worms intestines break down plastics. Though scientists believe it will take a while to figure this out they enjoy studying and learning more about this tiny helper.

Explain why the cane toad has been so successful as an invasive species in Australia
Sauron [17]

Answer:  

Cane toads were introduced intentionally in Australia in 1935 to combat cane beetles in the sugar cane crop fields. These toads exhibit higher feeding capacity. These can feed not only cane beetles but other insects which affecting agricultural yields. They are poisonous in nature, they kill any insect after ingestion. Therefore, they are useful biological insecticide which provides crops resistance against insects.

What type of molecule speeds up chemical reactions in living things?
iren [92.7K]

The best answer is  B - Proteins.

Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva,  which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.

Which of the following statements about excision repair is correct?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

a. True, b. False, c.True, d. True

Explanation:

a. Base excision repair is started by a DNA glycosylase  that recognizes the changes and removes the altered base by cleavage of the glycosidic bond binding the base and the deoxyribose sugar together.

b. Nucleotide excision repair works by a cut-and patch mechanism that removes their heavy lesions, including pyrimidine dimers and nucleotides . Endonucleases are responsible for the lesion of the damaged strand.

c. Nucleotide excision repair  is initiated by the proteins namely UvrA, UvrC, and UvrB in Escherichia coli.

-UvrD (helicase II) later removes the damaged strand

-DNA polymerase I (PolI) fills in the resulting gap.

d. DNA glycolases removes the damaged nitrogenous base.

-It leaves the sugar-phosphate backbone intact and thus creating an  apurinic/apyrimidinic site, which is commonly referred to as an AP site.

e. Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A(XPA)

-This is an essential protein in the nucleotide excision repair pathway.

- It helps to make a pre-incision complex along with other proteins.

What was a major problem for anthropologists when they were just studying objects in museum collections?
tia_tia [17]

A major problem for anthropologists when they were just studying objects in museum collections was that the objects were viewed as isolated from their cultural context.

<h3>What is Anthropology?</h3>

Anthropology is the scientific study of humans and includes the study of historical and contemporary human species as well as human behavior, biology, cultures, civilizations, and linguistics. While cultural anthropology examines cultural meaning, including norms and values, social anthropology explores patterns of behavior.

Today, the phrase sociocultural anthropology is frequently employed as a portmanteau. Language's impact on social life is the subject of linguistic anthropology. The biological evolution of people is studied in biological or physical anthropology.

Archaeological anthropology, sometimes known as "anthropology of the past," examines physical evidence to study human behavior. In North America and Asia, it is regarded as a subfield of anthropology, but in Europe it is viewed as a field unto itself or categorized under other related fields like paleontology and history.
