How is the separation of dna like a zipper

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago
3 0

The two strands must be separated like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A double helix structure formed by two polypeptide chains is separated like the two sides of a zipper. A zipper is formed by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases. During replication, an enzyme "Helicase" travels down the DNA and splits the chain and it forms 2 separate strands.
  • The two DNA strand which has the same sequence must be separated like the two sides of a zipper by breaking weak hydrogen bases. During base pair-rule, the strand are unzipped and each strands is copied.

Which of the following will be most soluble in octane?
natima [27]

Answer:

CH3CH3CH2CH3

Explanation:

Octane is a non-polar compound. It is a hydrocarbon with 8-carbon length along its chain.

It belongs to a special group of hydrocarbons called alkanes.

What makes a substance soluble in another?

   It is a common phrase that  "like dissolves like". This is applicable to solubility of substances in another.

  • A polar solvent will freely and easily dissolve a polar solute. For example, water and salt.
  • A non-polar solvent will also dissolve a non-polar solute. This case, hydrocarbons will dissolve themselves.
  • The first option is a butane, a 4-carbon length hydrocarbon which will be dissolved in octane.
  • Both compounds are non-polar.
