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.

A 5.00g of X, the product of organic synthesis is obtained in a 1.0 dm3 aqueous solution. Calculate the mass of X that can be ex
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g

Explanation:

The partition coefficient of X between ethoxy ethane (ether) and water, K is given by the formula

K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water

Partition coefficient, K(X) between ethoxy ethane and water = 40

Concentration of X in ether = mass(g)/volume(dm³)

Mass of X in ether = m g

Volume of ether = 50/1000 dm³ = 0.05 dm³

Concentration of X in ether = (m/0.05) g/dm³

Concentration of X in water = mass(g)/volume(dm³)

Mass of X in water left after extraction with ether = (5 - m) g

Volume of water = 1 dm³

Concentration of X in water = (5 - m/1) g/dm³

Using K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water;

40 = (m/0.05)/(5 - m)

(m/0.05) = 40 × (5 - m)

(m/0.05) = 200 - 40m

m = 0.05 × (200 - 40m)

m = 10 - 2m

3m = 10

m = 10/3

m = 3.33 g of X

Therefore, mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g

A system gains 652 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +241 kJ. How much work is done?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

-411 kj

Explanation:

We solve by using this formula

∆U = ∆Q + ∆W

This formula is the first law of thermodynamics

Change in internal energy U = +241

Heat gained by system Q = 652

Putting the value into the equation

+241 = 652 + W

Workdone = 241 - 652

Workdone = -411 kj

Since work done is negative it means that work was done by the system

A typical virus is 5x10-6 cm in diameter. if avogadro's number of these virus particles were laid in a row, how many kilometers
Debora [2.8K]
Answer is: line be long 3,011·10¹³ kilometers.
diametar of virus = 5·10⁻⁶ cm ÷ 100000 = 5·10⁻¹¹ km.
line lenght = 5·10⁻¹¹ km · 6,023·10²³.
line lenght = 3,011·10¹³ km.
Avogadro number = 6,023·10²³.
1 cm = 10⁻² m = 10⁻⁵ km.

Na +H₂O- NaOH +H₂ balance
Whitepunk [10]

Hey there!

Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂

First, balance O.

One on the left, one on the right. Already balanced.

Next, balance H.

Two on the left, three on the right. Let's add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaOH and a coefficient of 2 in front of H₂O, so we have 4 on each side.

Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

Lastly, balance Na.

One on the left, two on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of Na.

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂  

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!
