Answer:

True

Explanation:

It is typically a final step to remove organisms from the treated water before the effluent is released back into the water system. Disinfection prevents the spread of waterborne diseases by reducing microbes and bacterial numbers to a regulated level.

Disinfectants are used to rapidly kill bacteria. They kill off the bacteria by causing the proteins to become damaged and the outer layers of the bacteria cell to rupture. The DNA material subsequently leaks out.

Disinfection is the process designed to kill or inactivate most microorganisms in wastewater, including essentially all pathogenic organisms. Contrast this to sterilization, which is the removal and destruction of all living microorganisms, including pathogenic and saprophytic bacteria, vegetative forms and spores.

What do we call the process where part of the DNA is saved during replication?

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The process where part of the DNA is saved during replication is known as semi conservative replication.

Explanation:

During cell division, a cell must first replicate its DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). When a cell divides into daughter cells , the DNA of the parent cell must be copied because DNA contains the genetic material of an organism. DNA replication is the process in which DNA is copied during the cell division cycle. During replication, the complementary strands of the original double helix DNA are separated and one of the two strands in the original molecule is saved in the new DNA molecule. Thus the new DNA molecule is made of an original strand and a newly synthesized strand. So the DNA replication is known as semi conservative replication. Each strand of the original DNA molecule is referred as the template strand because it provides information for the production of newly synthesized strand. It takes place inside the nucleus of a cell during the s stage of the cell cycle. During replication, helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases (Adenine with Thymine, Cytosine with Guanine) and unwinds the double helix of DNA. The two separated strands create a Y-shaped replication fork and act as templates for the synthesis of new strands of DNA. Enzymes known as DNA polymerases create the new strands.

How is crude oil brought to the surface

natta225 [31]

In some places, especially some new wells that have just been drilled,
the oil is under pressure, and it brings itself to the surface as soon as
you drill a 'pipe' for it to rise through.

In most oil wells, there's a pump bobbing up and down day and night,
pumping the oil up out of the well.

When the well is so old that even a pump isn't very effective, water is
often forced down the well under pressure, and the water forces the
oil back up through the pipe.

What method can scientists use to<br> determine when the fossil above appeared<br> on Earth?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.
