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.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

1.0 L

Explanation:

Given data

  • Initial volume (V₁): 0.35 L
  • Initial concentration (C₁): 2.0 M
  • Final volume (V₂): ?
  • Final concentration (C₂): 0.70 M

John and Alex prepared a diluted solution from a concentrated one. We can find the volume of the diluted solution using the dilution rule.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

V₂ = C₁ × V₁ / C₂

V₂ = 2.0 M × 0.35 L / 0.70 M

V₂ = 1.0 L

How do we turn petroleum into energy we use?
arlik [135]

You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery.

Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.

Key terms: Reset ____________ anions are strong nucleophiles that open epoxide rings by an SN2 mechanism. ____________ tautomers
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Acetylide , Enol ,aldehydes, tautomers, alkynes , Hydroboration, Keto

Explanation:

Reset <u>Acetylide</u>  anions are strong nucleophiles that open epoxide rings by an SN2 mechanism. <u>Enol </u>tautomers have an O-H group bonded to a C=C. <u>aldehydes </u>are formed from terminal alkynes with the addition of water using BH3 then H2O2. <u>tautomers</u> are constitutional isomers that differ in the location of a double bond and a hydrogen and exist in an equilibrium with each other. <u>alkynes</u> are compounds that contain a carbon-carbon triple bond. <u>Hydroboration</u> of a terminal alkyne adds BH₂ to the less substituted, terminal carbon.<u> Keto</u> tautomers have a C=O and an additional C-H bond.
