Answer:

dna - Medical Definition. n. A nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in cells and some viruses, consisting of two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine.

Answer:

deoxyribonucleic acid

Explanation:

de-oxy- without oxygen

ribo-ribose is the sugar that makes up the backbone of the DNA

nucleic acid- the "rungs of the ladder" in DNA, like adinine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine

2. If 10% of the bases in a molecule of DNA are adenine, what is the ratio of adenine to guanine in the same
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form

In all cells, separation of replicated chromosomes is a prerequisite for cell division. However, the mechanism of chromosome sep
Ipatiy [6.2K]

1. two copies of the duplicated chromosome are attached at their centromeres before separating

2. chromosomes replicate before cell division

3. chromosome separation begins at the origin of replication on DNA

4. Before separation duplicated chromosomes condense; nuclear envelope fragments permitting chromosome separation

5. replicated chromosomes separate by attaching to some other structural feature of the cell

Explanation:

In the given question, the DNA replication steps of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes are provided in which some are common to both eukaryotes and prokaryotes and some are unique to the prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

<u>Eukaryotes </u>

1. Option-4 as the nuclear envelope is present in eukaryotes only.

2. Option-1 as centromere allows the kinetochores bind to the centromere which separates the chromosome.

<u>Bacteria </u>

1. Option-3 as DNA replication process separates the strand of the DNA.

<u>Both </u>

1. Option-5 as the chromosomes separate by other structures like microtubules

2. Option-2 as genetic material to be passed on to the generation must be replicated.

In the epinephrine pathway, an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase activity would have which of the following effects? A. block the a
Artemon [7]

Answer: C). prolong the effect of epinephrine by maintaining elevated cAMP levels in the cytoplasm

Explanation: In the epinephrine pathway, binding of epinephrine to its receptor triggers a conformational change in the receptor and the interaction of the receptor with its associated Gs protein. This interaction causes the replacement of GDP bound to Gs protein with GTP thus activating the Gs protein. The activation of the Gs protein causes the alpha subunit of the Gs protein to dissociate and move to adenylyl cyclase, another membrane protein in the pathway. The association of the alpha subunit of the Gs protein with adenylyl cyclase activates adenylyl cyclase which in turn catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic AMP (cAMP) a second messenger. cAMP is quickly degraded to 5'-AMP by an enzyme phosphodiesterase. Inhibition of the activity of phosphodiesterase will increase the half life and the cytoplasmic level of cAMP thus potentiating the action of epinephrine.
