Gnoma [55]1 year ago

Reactions that hydrolyze the phosphodiester bonds split the DNA molecule between the phosphate groups and the hydroxyl groups of the two sugar groups.

In DNA there is a covalent bond through a phosphate group that connects the hydroxyl group (OH) at the 5' position of the pentose sugar and the hydroxyl group at the 3' position of the pentose sugar of the next nucleotide. This covalent bond is called a phosphodiester bond because chemically the phosphate group is in the diester form.

In other words, the phosphodiester bond connects the sugar in one nucleotide to the sugar in the next nucleotide, so this bond simultaneously connects the two consecutive nucleotides to form a polynucleotide chain. If there is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of covalent bonds that combine nucleotides, what happens is that the phosphodiester link between deoxyribose sugars will break.

A newly discovered gene has two aleles a and a scientists hypothesize that the alleles show incomplete dominance
tatiyna
If scientists believe that the newly discovered gene has two alleles A and a and that the alleles show incomplete dominance, the best way to prove this is to look for subjects who are homozygous with respect to the different alleles. The offsprings will all have the genotype of Aa and if indeed, the alleles show incomplete the dominance, the traits of the first generation will not manifest completely but a mixture of two will.

True or false does Pressure increases from Earth's surface toward the center of Earth.
Dima020 [189]

The answers are; TRUE

Pressure increase towards earth’s interior because the further deeper you go the higher the rock layers above that apply pressure towards the center of the earth by gravity.  In addition , due to this increasing pressure, temperatures also increase because the two parameters are directly proportional.

1. What is cultural control? What are the practices done in this approach? What are the advantages and disadvantages of cultural
timama [110]

1.a.In agriculture cultural control is the practice of modifying the growing environment to reduce the prevalence of unwanted pests. Examples include changing soil pH or fertility levels, irrigation practices, amount of sunlight, temperature, or the use of beneficial animals or insects.

1.b. Cultural control is using the production or utilization methods of a commodity with a concern for insect management. Cultural control practices are usually multipurpose technical procedures that create environments that either avoid high-risk situations for infestations or develop unfavorable conditions for pests.

1.c.Simplicity and low cost are the primary advantages of cultural control tactics, and disadvantages are few as long as these tactics are compatible with a farmer's other management objectives (high yields, mechanization, etc.).
