<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>
During DNA Replication, the DNA molecule unzips itself so that there are two free strands of DNA. Both of those strands then create new complementary strands of DNA. Thus every subsequent generation of DNA uses one of the parent cell's strand of DNA as a template, which is why DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative. Hope this helped!
