How are DNA synthesis inhibitors used to fight bioterrorism?

The bacterium Bacillus anthracis, known as anthrax, causes an often fatal disease that is also called anthrax. On November 7, 2001, the Senate Majority Leader's office received an anthrax-tainted letter. More than 30 Senate workers showed signs of exposure. The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that anyone who might have been exposed to anthrax begin treatment with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, a DNA-synthesis inhibitor.

Part A

To understand how ciprofloxacin works, it's important to be able to visualize the events of DNA synthesis. To help with this, there is a diagram of a replication bubble, show on it the 5'?3' polarity of the two parental DNA strands, the leading and lagging daughter strands at each replication fork, helicase, and topoisomerase.

Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.

Note:

Melissa lives in a town called greendale. she discovers that when she lights a match and holds it near her kitchen faucet, the little flame grows into a larger fire. melissa is surprised because she thought the water would extinguish the flame rather than ignite it further. her mother tells her that the water might be contaminated with dissolved methane, a primary component in natural gas. melissa investigates the matter and finds that cases of methane contamination started shortly after a company began fracking for natural gas in the area. based on this information, which three statements are plausible consequences of fracking in greendale?
