During DNA replication, the covalent bonding of nucleotides into a new strand of DNA is performed by .a. RNA polymerase b. DNA polymerase c. DNA d. ligase e. primase

Option B) DNA polymerase

Explanation:

During DNA replication, semi-conservative replication for instance:

- a parent double-stranded DNA splits in two.

- Each strand is then read by the enzyme, DNA polymerase, to ensure accurate replication of a newly synthesized strand

- the new strand contains nucleotides that are complimentary abd covalently bonded to free nucleotides present in the parent strand.

Thus, DNA polymerase is the answer

a warm, wet climate will produce the highest rate of weathering. the warmer a climate is, the more types of vegetation it will have and the greater the rate of biological weathering (figure below). this happens because plants and bacteria grow and multiply faster in warmer temperatures.
