Answer:

5ʹ-ATTCCGGATCGA-3ʹ

Explanation:

In a double-stranded DNA, two strands are held together with the help of hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases and the two strands are anti-parallel, means one strands runs in 5' to 3' direction, while another strand runs in 3' to 5' direction.

According to complementary base pairing rule, adenine makes bonds with thymine and thymine makes bond with adenine; similarly, guanine makes bonds with cytosine and cytosine makes bonds with guanine.  

Thus, the complementary base pairing rule, complementary sequence for given DNA sequence would be:

5ʹ-TCGATCCGGAAT-3ʹ

3ʹ-AGCTAGGCCTTA-5ʹ, which can be also written as

5ʹ-ATTCCGGATCGA-3ʹ.

Thus, the correct answer is 'second option.'

Answer:

3ʹ-TAACCGGTACGT-5ʹ

Explanation:

DNA is a molecule located in the cell nucleus and formed by two strands in the form of a double helix. It is responsible for storing all genetic information that defines the characteristics of each living organism.

The two complementary strands that make up this molecule are composed of a sequence of nucleotides, which are molecules composed of a phosphate group, a sugar (pentose) and a nitrogenous base that can be: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).

Nitrogenous bases are always organized in pairs: Adenine with Thymine (A-T) and Cytosine with Guanine (C-G). Therefore, we can conclude that if one of the DNA strands has the 5ʹ-ATTCCGGATCGA-3ʹ base sequence, the complementary strand will have the 3ʹ-TAACCGGTACGT-5ʹ base sequence.

What structures have rna
Ksivusya [100]
Structurally, DNA and RNA are nearly identical. As mentioned earlier, however, there are three fundamental differences that account for the very different functions of the two molecules. RNA has a ribose sugar instead of a deoxyribose sugar like DNA. RNA nucleotides have a uracil base instead of thymine.

In humans, the quadriceps muscle is a skeletal leg muscle under voluntary control. As such, it contracts in response to signals
Masja [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is - operation of reflex arc.

Explanation:

The reflex arc is a unique and special type of neural pathway that starts with a sensory neuron and ends with a motor neuron. In this operation sensory neuron acts as the receptor and motor neuron is effector. This type of neural circuit helps in faster response.

Voluntary muscles like quadriceps muscle are normally in control voluntarily however, such muscle may contract involuntary due to reflex arc. This type of contraction takes place before the signal has even reached the brain.

In this response the sensory neuron takes the signal to the spinal cord and then motor neuron to the effector muscle for faster response.

Thus, the correct answer is - operation of reflex arc.

Which of the following best describes the structure of a mushroom that you observe above the ground?
Alex Ar [27]

The right answer is Fruiting type.

The sporophore (literally "spore carrier"), also called Fruitbodies, is the reproductive system of the so-called superior mushrooms. It is, in popular language, the organ of the "fructification" of the mushroom mycelium. It contains sporocysts (basid and asci) that differentiate in the hymenium and produce spores in various forms. It is present in the mushroom's cap.
