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.

Consider the reaction: A(aq) + 2B (aq) === C (aq). Initially 1.00 mol A and 1.80 mol B
liraira [26]

Answer:

17

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the needed concentrations

[A]i = 1.00 mol/5.00 L = 0.200 M

[B]i = 1.80 mol/5.00 L = 0.360 M

[B]e = 1.00 mol/5.00 L = 0.200 M

Step 2: Make an ICE chart

        A(aq) + 2 B(aq) ⇄ C(aq)

I       0.200    0.360        0

C        -x           -2x         +x

E     0.200-x  0.360-2x   x

Then,

[B]e = 0.360-2x = 0.200

x = 0.0800

The concentrations at equilibrium are:

[A]e = 0.200-0.0800 = 0.120 M

[B]e = 0.200 M

[C]e = 0.0800 M

Step 3: Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant (K)

K = [C] / [A] × [B]²

K = 0.0800 / 0.120 × 0.200² = 16.6 ≈ 17

At 35°C and 2 atm of pressure, the volume of gas is 200 ml. If the temperature changes to
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

V₂ = 106.5 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume =200 mL

Initial pressure = 2 atm

Initial temperature = 35 °C (35 +273 = 308 K)

Final temperature = 55°C (55+273 = 328 K)

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 4 atm

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 2 atm ×200 mL × 328 K / 308 K ×4 atm

V₂ = 131200 atm .mL. K / 1232 K.atm

V₂ = 106.5 mL

The electron in a hydrogen atom, originally in level n = 8, undergoes a transition to a lower level by emitting a photon of wave
timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The electron in a hydrogen atom, originally in level n = 8, undergoes a transition to a lower level by emitting a photon of wavelength 3745 nm. It means that,

n_i=8

\lambda=3745\ nm

The amount of energy change during the transition is given by :

\Delta E=R_H[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_i^2}]

And

\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=R_H[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_i^2}]

Plugging all the values we get :

\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3745\times 10^{-9}}=2.179\times 10^{-18}[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{8^2}]\\\\\dfrac{5.31\times 10^{-20}}{2.179\times 10^{-18}}=[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{8^2}]\\\\0.0243=[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{64}]\\\\0.0243+\dfrac{1}{64}=\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}\\\\0.039925=\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}\\\\n_f^2=25\\\\n_f=5

So, the final level of the electron is 5.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

V₂ = 530.5 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 20.0°C

Final temperature = 40.0 °C

Final volume = 585 mL

Initial volume = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 20.0°C (20+273 = 293 K)

Final temperature = 40.0 °C (40+273 = 323 K)

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = V₂T₁ /T₂  

V₂ = 585 mL × 293 K / 323 K

V₂ = 171405 mL.K / 323 K

V₂ = 530.5 mL
