Which of the following is not true regarding the denaturation and reannealing of double-stranded DNA molecules? Which of the fol

lowing is not true regarding the denaturation and reannealing of double-stranded DNA molecules? Decreasing the salt concentration of the solution lowers DNA's melting point (Tm). Increasing the G-C content of DNA raises its melting point (Tm). Single-stranded DNAs can only anneal to one another if they are 100% identical in nucleotide sequence. Melting point (Tm) is the temperature at which the DNA is one-half double-stranded and one-half single-stranded. DNA is more likely to denature when exposed to a high pH.

Answer: "Decreasing the salt concentration of the solution lowers DNA's melting point (Tm)" is not a true statement

Explanation:

Increasing salt concentration would lower the DNA's melting point (Tm), not otherwise.

For instance:

- In 8M urea (8M means 8 Moles per dm3), Tm is decreased by nearly 20°C.

- 95% formamide at room temperature would completely denature the double stranded DNA.

Thus, higher concentration of salts like urea or formamide lowers Tm, not otherwise

Describe the ways by which substances can cross the phospholipid bilayer
kirza4 [7]

Explanation:

Simple Diffusion across the Cell (Plasma) Membrane The structure of the lipid bilayer allows only small, non-polar substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through the cell membrane, down their concentration gradient, by simple diffusion.

In Drosophila, vestigial (partially formed) wings (vg) are recessive to normal long wings (vg+) and the gene for this trait is a
Marina CMI [18]

Answer/ Explanation:

a. The genotype of a homozygous white eyed long winged female would be Vg+Vg+XrXr. We denote the white allele as recessive (r) because the XY male only has one copy and yet has red eyes, so the red eye trait (R) must be dominant. A homozygous red eyed vestigial winged male would have be VgVgXRY. The possible gametes for the female are Vg+Xr only. For the male, the possible gametes are VgXR or VgY

The attached punnett square shows the results of the cross. The females will all be Vg+VgXRXr. The males will all be Vg+VgXRY (must inherit Y from father). That means they will all  have normal length wings, the males will have white eyes and the females will have red eyes.

b. The F2 flies arise from intercrossing the F1, so the cross will be Vg+VgXRXr x Vg+VgXRY. The possible gametes for the mother are: Vg+XR, Vg+Xr, VgXR or VgXr. The possible gametes for the father are Vg+Xr

, Vg+Y

, VgXr

, VgY

. The attached punnet square shows this cross. The ratio of the phenotypes will be 6:6:2:2, or 3:3:1:1 (long-winged red eye: long-winged white eye: vestigial wing red eye: vestigial wing white eye), genotypes shown in the attachment.

c. F1 cross back to the mother would be Vg+VgXRY x Vg+Vg+XrXr. The genotypes are shown in the attached punnet square. The offspring will all be long-winged with white eyes. The F1 to the father would be Vg+VgXRXr x VgVgXRY. The ratio would be 3:3:1:1 long-winged red eye: long-winged white eye: vestigial wing red eye: vestigial wing white eye

A nerve poison that blocked neurotransmitter receptors on the dendrites would __________. inactivate the enzyme that degrades th
Svet_ta [14]

The correct answer is: prevent reception of a signal in a receiving neuron

Neurotransmitters are signal molecules or chemical messengers which transmit signals across a chemical synapse. Neurotransmitters send the signal, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another neuron, from neuron to muscle cell (motor plate), or from neuron to gland cell.

Drugs that bind to neurotransmitter’s receptor can have two effects on its action:

• Antagonists-they bind to receptor and thus prevent a neurotransmitter from binding to it

• Agonists-they bind to receptor and mimic the normal neurotransmitter (have the same effect as neurotransmitter).
