How is dna copied in your own words?

Answer:

Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each strand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.

Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin. Several enzymes and proteins then work together to prepare, or prime, the strands for duplication. Finally, a special enzyme called DNA polymerase organizes the assembly of the new DNA strands. The following description of this three-stage process applies generally to all cells, but specific variations within the process may occur depending on organism and cell type.

Charles Darwin also was the first biologist to propose the use of the phylogenetic tree or the evolutionary tree. The phylogenetic tree illustrates how organisms are related, usually by traits. It also represents how organisms are related by common ancestors.  Other scientists refer to the phylogenetic tree or parts of the tree as a cladogram. 

Attached is an example of a simplified phylogenetic tree.

Fed [463]
Assuming that this is the theory of endosymbiotic creation of eukaryotes , it supports it by showing that ancient prokaryotes such as archae have ribosomes that could have joined together, as the theory states to create the eukaryote's ribosomes that they have today (because they're so similar.)

A man who heavily smokes has developed lung cancer. The tobacco smoke has caused mutations in some of the cells in his lungs, ma
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children

Explanation:

Even tho the cause of lung cancer is not very clear, a genetic predisposition is of a great influence, his smoking and therefore causing a lung cancer is not appliable to his children because of no connection, but in the sense of having a mutation which makes you predisposable to the cancer with or without the smoking, can lead to a high risk of gene inheritance and therefore inheriting the mutation with a high risk of getting lung cancer excluding the smoking.
