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.

The number of ducks in a pond is equal to the square root of the number of fish, and the number of turtles is equal to the cube
brilliants [131]

Answer:

There are 64 fish, 8 ducks and 4 turtles.

Explanation:

From the question, there can be from 2 to 99 fish in the pond. However, there cannot be fractions in the number of fish, ducks or turtles. Hence, the number of fish must have both of a perfect square and perfect cube. The perfect squares from 2 to 99 are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81. The perfect cubes from 2 to 99 are 8, 27 and 64. Since only 64 fits both criteria, the number of fish is 64. The number of ducks is the square root of number of fish, which is the square root of 64. The square root of 64 can be either positive 8 or negative 8. However, there cannot be negative numbers, so there are 8 ducks in total. The number of turtles is the cube root of the number of fish, which is the cube root of 64 and it is 4.

It is crucial that the process of mitosis is error free. This is because otherwise healthy cells can
kherson [118]

The correct answer is that it becomes cancer cells.  

Mitosis refers to the kind of cell differentiation, which leads to the formation of two daughter cells, and each comprising the same type and amount of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, generally of ordinary tissue growth.  

The process of mitosis should be error free as otherwise healthy cells can turn into cancer cells. Cancer is basically a disorder of mitosis, in this case, the usual checkpoints, which are monitoring mitosis are overridden or ignored by the cancer cells.  

Cancer initiates when a single cell is converted or transformed into a normal cell to a cancer cell and is generally taking place due to a modification in function of one of many genes, which usually work to monitor growth, like p53 gene or tumor suppressor gene.
