Lilit [14]2 years ago
6 0

The statement that is false about base stacking is; B. Stacking interactions are hydrophilic in nature.

<h3>What is the truth about Base Stacking?</h3>

Base stacking is defined as a common arrangement of nucleobases that are found in the three dimensional structure of nucleic acids. Bases (or base pairs) are planar, and these planes stack at contact distance , excluding water and maximizing Van der Waals interactions.

Looking at the given options, the only one that can be said to be false about the defined base stacking above as regards nucleic acids is option B.

The missing options are;

A. Stacking interactions occur when two or more bases are positioned with their rings parallel to each other.

B. Stacking interactions are hydrophilic in nature.

C. Stacking involves a combination of van der Waals and dipole-dipole interactions between bases.

D. Base stacking helps to minimize contact of the bases with water.

E. Base stacking interactions are important in stabilizing the three-dimensional structure of nucleic acids.

Teratogens are agents or factors that causes malformation of an embryo they include alcohol,cigar smoke, drugs, maternal stress and paternal age. At the embryonic period the unborn baby is at a very high risk of developing structural defects ddue to the effects of teratogens. Teratogens may lead to abnormal development in muscles, tendons and bones.

at over 5 million degrees celsius the temperature of the sun core is high enough for nuclear to occur
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Yes (but not how you think)

Explanation:

I'm assuming that you mean if nuclear fusion, where two atoms (in this case mostly hydrogen) fuse into one heavier atom, and release a lot of energy.

However, fusion happens when there is a tremendous amount of pressure or heat. This is found in the core

The 5 million degrees is found on the surface of the sun, but at the core, it is at 15 million degrees.

In addition, the pressure is so extreme that if forces atoms to become one, despite the fact they don't like being together (try finding 2 strong magnets and hold them so that they try to repel each other and try and make them touch, it's hard! Now imagine having to put a million of times the amount of strength!)

So, the sun is capable of nuclear fusion, but at the core, where it is 15 million degrees!

(fun fact: scientists are trying to build "mini-suns" called Fusion reactors to try and harvest the power of the sun!)
