Answer:

The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.

Explanation:

Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.

Colt1911 [192]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Movement will be brought about in touch me not plants by the action of various chemicals present at the base of the leaf stalk. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>The leaves of touch me not plant stay upright due to turgor pressure. </em>It is exerted by the water present within its cells. This pressure applies force against the cell wall enabling the plant to remain stiff.  

When there is an external disturbance , parts of the plant releases certain chemicals including potassium ions that causes water to diffuse out of cells. <em>This releases the turgor pressure and causes the leaves to shrink.  </em>

Human beings have about 100,000 genes, and each has a single specific function. True or False
melomori [17]
I would go with false, because not only 100,000 genes, there are lots to those. and there are not even like 100,000 genes, that is not really possible!!
hope that this helps you! =)

Si una población crece mucho otra vez después de un cuello de botella con el paso del tiempo aumentará diversidad genética ¿por
sammy [17]

Answer:

los mecanismos capaces de generar diversidad actúan para incrementar la variabilidad genética en la población que sufrió el cuello de botella

Explanation:

Un cuello de botella se refiere a una reducción drástica en el tamaño de una población (por ejemplo, debido a una catástrofe natural). Un cuello de botella es un fenómeno que está asociado a la ​reducción en la variación genética y fijación de ciertos alelos en la población resultante, lo cual es causado por la deriva genética, es decir, debido al muestreo al azar de los individuos que formarán la población en la siguiente generación. Paulatinamente, los mecanismos capaces de generar variabilidad genética aumentarán nuevamente la diversidad de la población que sufrió el cuello de botella. En una población de reproducción sexual, la variación genética se genera mediante cuatro procesos diferentes: 1-mutación (es decir, la aparición de nuevos alelos debido a alteraciones en la secuencia de ADN); 2-recombinación (es decir, el intercambio de información genética entre cromátidas no hermanas durante la meiosis); 3-segregación independiente de cromosomas durante la meiosis (capaz de producir nuevas combinaciones de alelos) y 4-fertilización al azar (lo cual también incrementa el número de combinaciones entre gametos que darán lugar a un nuevo individuo).
