9. look closely at the illustration above. a. what process is occurring? b. what is being made? c. how can you tell?

The answers are:

A. DNA replication in the nucleus of a cell
B. From one helix of DNA in a replication process, we get two: The DNA is a double helix and it consists of two strands of specifically connected amino-acids. When the time for replication comes, a set of enzymes unwind the two strands and leave them as a base for additional two strands attaching to them - the green line is an example of that. The free nucleotides - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are left open and the enzyme called DNA-polymerase helps to produce a new strand on the template of the old parental one (one of the blue ones in the picture) 
C. By the location on the smaller picture - replication takes place in the nucleus. And the most important hint are the letters A - adenine, G - guanine, T- thymine, and C-cytosine. A connects with T, and G connects with C. 

Wetlands form where water and land meet. a lake with a wetland fringe can fill in with decayed plant and animal material to become a wet meadow. a pond can fill in to become a bog or fen. sediment can fill in a river marsh to become a swamp.flooding of coastal lowlands from rising sea levels has created broad coastal marshes that are protected from wave action by barrier islands or reefs. coastal wetlands also form when rivers deposit sediment as they reach the ocean. plants then take root and hold the soil firm against the forces of tides and waves.
