During DNA replication, a complementary strand of DNA is made for each original strand. Thus, if a portion of the original strand is CCTAGCT, then the new strand will be…
Science, technology, and society affect each other in both positive and negative ways. One example was the discovery of antibiotics. They are used to treat bacterial infections. The extensive use however, has led to the evolution of dangerous resistant strains of bacteria.
