Why are AT pairs are easier to pull apart than GC pairs during the unwinding process

1 answer:

5 0

Initiator proteins break hydrogen bonds separating short length of DNA, AT base pairs are held together by fewer hydrogen bonds than GC pair. Thus AT pairs are easier to pull apart, At rich regions are typically found in the replication origins. Replication origins are site at which DNA is first opened.

Ugo [173]

Correct answer: Glycogen

Glycogen is a form of polysaccharide of glucose molecule which serve as energy storage unit in the humans. The excess glucose in the body is stored in the form of glycogen in the muscles and the liver.

The muscles can store upto 500 gram of glycogen and liver can store 100 gram of glucose. Therefore, any carbohydrate which is consumed beyond this limit are converted to and stored as fat.

Glycogen that are stored in muscle are broken down into glucose while the liver cell glycogen are broken down into glucose as a circulating energy source to be used by the body.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Both options are valid, since in the hypothesis of the savanna it was argued that humans acquired bipedalism to be able to self-supply their food more effectively, and to have less body surface area exposed to the sun.

Explanation:

The saban hypothesis is believed to have originated in the saban, with the Austrolopitecus africanus being forced to affect this domain, which is why it acquired this adaptation mechanism.

The savanna had high grasslands, which also led to collaboration in this regard since they could be better camouflaged.

In addition, the human began to defend with the limbs of the upper limb, triggering the canines to decrease in size since it is not used as a defense mechanism.

The canine is a tooth that helps to tear carnivorous food, that is why the human also begins to have a more varied diet of fruits and seeds and that it can reach and take the bones of the tree to increase its height due to bipedalism.
