Which statement is true about DNA?DNA is a single-stranded molecule.
Both of the original DNA strands act as templates during replication.
Only one of the original DNA strands acts as a template during replication.
DNA replication takes place in the cytosol of cells.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Only one of the original DNA strands acts as a template during replication.

Explanation:

The DNA of every living cell replicates prior to division. It occurs in the S-phase of interphase stage. The DNA is a long double-helical structure. Before the actual duplication occurs, the double strand of the DNA needs to be unwound. This unwinding is done by HELICASE by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that binds each base pair.

After the unwinding, two separate strands result with only one of the strands serving as a template for the new strand synthesized by DNA polymerase. DNA polymerase enzyme synthesizes new DNA strand by adding nucleotide bases that are complementary to each template strand.

i.e. DNA polymerase will add nucleotide G to the growing strand if it reads nucleotide C on the template strand.

Answer 2
Answer: only one of the original DNA strands acts as a templates during replication.

Which of the following statements justifies that meiosis is reduction division?A.
Meiosis results in the formation of gametes.
B.
Meiosis produces recombinant chromosomes.
C.
Meiosis begins with a diploid cell, but produces four haploid cells.

Answers

Answer:

C. Meiosis begins with a diploid cell, but produces four haploid cells.

Explanation:

C. Meiosis begins with a diploid cell but produces four haploid cells.

The statement "Meiosis begins with a diploid cell, but produces four haploid cells" explains why meiosis is a reduction division. The cell divides twice during meiosis, resulting in the creation of four daughter cells. These daughter cells are genetically distinct from the parent cell and contain half the number of chromosomes (haploid) as the parent cell.

Which career field is an applied science? geology biotechnology physics chemistry

Answers

Answer:

Option B, biotechnology

Explanation:

An applied science in an extended version of knowledge where already existing scientific knowledge is put to practical applications through the use of technology.

Biotechnology uses the knowledge obtained through  biology subject and put it into uses such as genetic engineering, medicine, etc.

All three subjects geology ,  physics and chemistry are pure science subject  that develop basic information or phenomena to understand the happenings of the natural world.

Hence, option B is correct

Biotechnology; it uses knowledge of biology (and usually incorporates several other disciplines) to make technology for biological systems (e.g. pacemakers).

What is the term for a reaction in which a substance gains electrons?a.)respiration
b.)redox reaction
c.)reduction
d.)oxidation

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be c.)reduction

Oxidation and reduction occur when transfer of electrons takes place from one element or atom to another.

The atom which receives or gains electron is said to be reduced while the atom which looses an electron is said to be oxidized.

For example, in cellular respiration oxygen gains electrons and H⁺ ions and is converted into water which is released as the byproduct of the process.

1/2 O₂ + 2 e⁻ + 2 H⁺ → 2H₂O

reduction 

"Reduction refers to ( chemical reactions in which a molecule gains electrons.)"

during the day, when the sun is shining, the ground gets warm mainly as a result of 1. the emission of greenhouse gasses from factories and vehicles 2.heat from Earth's core being conducted to Earth's surface. 3.convection currents in the atmosphere heating the ground. 4.radiated heat from the Sun being absorbed by the ground.

Answers

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

During the daytime when the sun is shinning bright in the sky and the sun rays reaches the earth.

The ground becomes warm by the effect of sunlight. This is because the sun radiates huge amount of heat from its surface.

This heat reaches the earth in the form of light energy. This heat is absorbed by the earth's surface and makes it warm.

4, Radiated heat from the Sun being absorbed by the ground.
