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.

CaCO3 + 2HCl --&gt; CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O In the reaction above, what mass of carbon dioxide is produced when 10 moles of HCl reacts
puteri [66]
According to the stoichiometry the CO2 formed is 1/2 the moles of H2O. So take the moles of CO2 as 5moles.

n=m/M

Where :

n = mole

m = mass

M = molar mass

Molar mass of CO2 = 44gmol^-1

Therefore mass = 5mol× 44gmol^-1= 220g

1. For one atom of lithium -6 I will need_____ atom of lithium -7 for an average atomic mass of 6.944? 2. For one atom of lithiu
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

For one atom of lithium -6 I will need_16.85____ atom of lithium -7 for an average atomic mass of 6.944 .

Explanation:

1 ) Let required atom be m .

\frac{6\times 1 + 7\times m}{1 + m} = 6.944

6 + 7m = 6.944 + 6.944m

7 m - 6.944 m = .944

.056 m = .944

m = 16.85
