A biochemist is studying the mechanism of DNA replication by stopping the reaction shortly after its initiation. Analysis of the products from the reaction in a gel reveals the presence of single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The shorter fragments of DNA were found to be attached to a complementary sequence of 10 ribonucleotides. which of the following is the most likely explanation for the data?
A - Short fragments of mRNA bind at random to available single-stranded DNA sequences in the cell
B - tRNAs bind to available single-stranded DNA sequences in the cell
C - Short ribonucleotide sequences are the primers for DNA polymerases
D - Short sequences of RNA attached to DNA represent an artifact of the isolation procedure

I'm thinking it is C, not so sure tho

How does upwelling affect coastal fisheries? upwelling damages nutrient supplies at coastal fisheries as the warm, nutrient-rich surface water is replaced by nutrient-poor, cold water. upwelling damages nutrient supplies at coastal fisheries as the cold, nutrient-rich surface water is replaced by nutrient-poor, warm water. upwelling improves the nutrient supply at coastal fisheries as the warm, nutrient-rich surface water replaces the nutrient-poor, cold water. upwelling improves the nutrient supply at coastal fisheries as cold, nutrient-rich water replaces the warm, nutrient-poor surface water.

Based on the observation that only male crickets produce a song, you hypothesize that a male's song is a form of communication to potential mates. you set up a simple experiment to test this hypothesis. in the laboratory, you place a male snowy tree cricket in enclosure a, which is adjacent to enclosureb. in enclosure b, you place other insects, one at a time, and observe their responses to the male's song. the enclosures are designed so that the two insects being tested cannot see or smell each other, but sound is transmitted from enclosure a to enclosureb.
