Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between the semiconservative model of DNA replication and t

he conservative model of DNA replication?
A.The semiconservative model states both strands of DNA remain together after replication and the conservative model states both strands separate.


B. The semiconservative model states single-stranded DNA strands are used as a template strand to create newly synthesized DNA strands and the conservative model states only one side is used as a template.


C.The semiconservative model states the DNA strands are randomly paired with a newly synthesized DNA strand and the conservative model states only new strands are paired.


D.The semiconservative model states the two original DNA strands separate and are used as template strands to create newly synthesized DNA strands and the conservative model states the two original strands remain together.

Answer: B.

Explanation: As the DNA double helix is unwound by helicase, replication occurs separately on each template strand in antiparallel directions. This process is known as semi-conservative replication because two copies of the original DNA molecule are produced. Each copy contains one original strand and one newly-synthesized strand.

C. Permafrost


Permafrost is the layer beneath the "active layer". The active layer consists of soil that freezes and thaws every year. However, the requirement for permafrost is that it be frozen for two or more years consecutively. This is why permafrost exists in cold environments such as tundras.

Think about the two words that make up the term reproductive isolation. How do you think reproductive isolation affects the evol
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Reproductive isolation refers to the inability of an organism or species to breed successfully with other organism or species.

It may arise from various factors such as:

  • Geographical isolation such as river, mountain, etc
  • Behavioral changes such as mating time or season, mating rituals, mating location etc.
  • Physiological differences such as change in shape of sex organs which causes lack of fit between copulatory organs.
  • Genetic differences.

Reproductive and geographical isolations between two populations (of same species) inhibit the flow of genes among them. Slowly, these isolations increase the variations in the gene pools of the two populations.

These genetic variations keep on increasing with time. In addition, as an adaptation to their surrounding or habitat the two populations would develop different behavioral and physiological changes

With time, these differences will increase up to such an extent that the two populations would not be able breed with each other. Hence, it would lead to the evolution of one or both the populations into new species.
