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.

How can a change in technology affect scientific knowledge?
Shalnov [3]
It helps scientists improve on research and tests/examinations to understand the object a little more. For Example: The newer modified microscope helps zoom into harder to see microrganisms. So if technology changed then most of our scientific knowledge wouldve been mistaken this whole time. We wouldnt know many things if technology didnt exist.

Name two types of evidence used to support the theory of evolution. explain how scientist use each type of evidence to provide s
joja [24]

Answer:

There are many types of evidence which support the theory of evolution such as comparative anatomy, fossil records, phylogenetic relationship, embryology et cetera

Comparative anatomy includes homologous organs and analogous organs. They support divergent and convergent evolution respectively.  

For example, the homologous structure of limb of humans, birds, bat, horse, whale et cetera show that they are made up of the same set of bones which are humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.  

It shows divergent evolution and supports that these organisms have evolved from a common ancestor.

Embryological evidence: When early stages of embryological development of different organisms are compared, it is found that these stages are similar at different levels of development.

For example:

  • The appearance of pharyngeal-arch (gill-like structures) in vertebrates during embryo development.
  • Salamanders and terrestrial frogs pass through larval stages within an egg. They possess the features similar to aquatic larvae, however, when they hatched out the eggs being ready for life on land.

Answer: Below

Explanation:

Alligators play an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance. Sitting at the top of the food chain, alligators are top predators and help keep other animal populations in balance. By digging holes and leaving trails throughout marshes, they create habitats for fish and marine invertebrates
