Answer AND Explanation:

A steroid is an organic macromolecule that is biologically active with four rings arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

The two main types of steroids are corticosteroids and androgenic steroids like testosterone and estradiol.

A template strand of DNA contains nucleotides in the following proportions: 14% adenine
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The proportions of  nucleotides in the newly formed complimentary strand will be:

14% Thymine (T), 33% Adenine (A), 21% Guanine (G), 32% Cytosine (C).

Explanation:

In a double stranded DNA, the nucleotides of one strand binds with nucleotides of another strand through hydrogen bonds.

Adenine binds with thymine by two hydrogen bonds (A=T) and guanine binds with cytosine by three hydrogen bonds (G≡C).

So, the complimentary strand must have

  • thymine equal to the amount of adenine in template strand.
  • adenine equal to the amount of thymine in template strand.
  • guanine equal to the amount of cytosine in template strand.
  • cytosine equal to the amount of guanine in template strand.

Describe the origin and fiber composition of (1) ventral and dorsal roots, (2) the spinal nerve proper, and (3) ventral and dors
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A dorsal root (sensory or afferent) and a ventral root (motor or efferent) originate from the medulla. They unite near the intervertebral foramen, forming the spinal nerve. The nerves emerge from the intervertebral foramen, dividing into ventral and dorsal ramus.

Explanation:

The nerve is a set of nerve fibers perceptible to the naked eye and wrapped in connective tissue. They are made up of roots, trunks and nerve branches (some of them come together and form plexuses).The spinal nerve originate from the spinal cord in the form of 31 pairs: 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 1 coccygeal. They emerge from the spinal cord through two roots: dorsal roots, made up of sensory fibers that come from the sensory neurons of the spinal ganglion and that penetrate the spinal cord through the posterolateral  and ventral root, made up of motor fibers, coming from the motor neurons of the anterior horn and visceral of the lateral horn of the gray matter of the spinal cord. This root exits the spinal cord through the anterolateral groove, then joins the posterior root to form the spinal nerve, which exits the vertebral canal through the corresponding intervertebral foramen.Each spinal nerve, after leaving the vertebral canal, emits two primary ramus: the dorsal ramus, contains somatic and visceral fibers that go to the skin and muscles of the back and the ventral ramus, which supplies the ventrolateral surface of the skin, body wall and extremities.
