The density of a metal is 10.5 g/cm3. If the mass of themetal
vitfil [10]

Answer:

11.7 mL

Explanation:

Density of a substance is given by the mass of the substance divided by the volume of the substance .

Hence , d = m / V

V = volume

m = mass ,  

d = density ,

From the question ,

The density of the metal = 10.5 g/cm³

The mass of the metal = 5.25 g

Hence , the volume can be calculated from the above formula , i.e. ,

d = m / V  

V = m / d

V = 5.25 g / 10.5 g/cm³

V = 0.5 cm³

Since , The unit 1 mL = 1 cm³

V = 0.5 mL

The vessel has 11.2 mL of water ,

The new volume becomes ,

11.2 mL +  0.5 mL = 11.7 mL

How is the separation of dna like a zipper
Sedbober [7]

The two strands must be separated like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A double helix structure formed by two polypeptide chains is separated like the two sides of a zipper. A zipper is formed by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases. During replication, an enzyme "Helicase" travels down the DNA and splits the chain and it forms 2 separate strands.
  • The two DNA strand which has the same sequence must be separated like the two sides of a zipper by breaking weak hydrogen bases. During base pair-rule, the strand are unzipped and each strands is copied.
