Genetic material as in DNA?
There are three things that make up DNA

1. Phosphates
2.Sugar (not table sugar, but a natural sugar)
3.Nitrogen base (Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine)

The sugar and phosphates are combined to make the "backbone" of the DNA, it's what holds the nitrogen bases together.

The nitrogen bases are what makes up the genetic code, two nitrogen bases are joined together in patterns that determine what genes we or any living organisim will have.

Here is the pattern as to what base will pair with:

Adenine and Thymine

and cytosine and guanine.

These pairs of nitrogen bases are called nucleotides.

PLSSS HELP Do you think an international orbiting space station is a good idea? Why or why not?

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Yes it is (we already have one)

An international orbiting space station would be a great idea! We could use the space station as a refueling point for passing spaceships. This could helps us achieve things such as space exploration, mars/moon colony, or even contact with other unearthly organisms. This could also allow us to conduct space research.

No it isn't

An international orbiting space station is a horrible idea! The first thing to think about is the money. This would put the entire area in stasis as we try to raise money for the space station. We also need contact with the humans/robots in space! Building a space station would confuse other nations as to what we plan to do with said space station. This could cause a war of some sort.

Interpret the Punnett square. A Punnett square with four rows and four columns. The first row is labeled big-A, big-B. The secon

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The genotypes shown represent gametes. False

One of the possible offspring genotypes is AABB. True

The parent genotypes are ABAbaBab×ABAbaBab. True

This cross shows two alleles for two traits. True

The gametes are diploid and the offspring are diploid. False

The genotypes shown are correct for a dihybrid cross. True

Explanation:

║ AB ║ Ab ║ aB ║ ab

AB║ABAB ║ ABAb║ABaB║ABab

Ab║ AbAB║ AbAb ║AbaB║Abab

aB║aBAB ║ aBAb ║aBaB║aBab

ab║abAB ║ abAb ║abaB ║abab

Drawing the Punnett square we can deduce that the genotypes shown do not represent gametes because there are more than 2 pairs of chromosomes.

As shown in the second column second row of the Punnett square one of the possible genotypes is AABB, it is distributed different (ABAB) but it is the same possible genotype.

The parents' genotypes are the ones that are written in the first columns and first row, they coincide with the ones in the statement.

A dihybrid cross shows the cross between two genes that have different traits.

The gametes are always haploid and the offspring are diploid because the two gametes come together.

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme that aids in the decomposition of ethyl alcohol (CH3OH) into nontoxic substances. Methy

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

d. Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Explanation:

Enzymes are bio catalysts in living cells responsible for aiding biochemical reactions.

Their active sites are primary protein 3D structure for binding with substrates during reactions.

Enzymes reactions are usually affected by inhibitors(e.g methyl alcohol) which compete with the active site with the actual substrate(ethyl alcohol) ,

This is an example of competitive inhibition. The more ethyl alcohol available, the more active sites occupied, therefore denying the inhibitor methylalchol chances to the active site, thus preventing the formation of toxic formaldehyde, and more of non toxic substances from formation of more ADH-METHYL ALCOHOL COMPLEXES at the active sites

Ronch [10]

Blood transfusion procedures, it is important to know the blood type of the receiver and the giver, since in cases of incompatibility can be blood clumping of the blood, which can lead to death.
