What does DNA contain?

Biology
1 answer:
nignag [31]4 years ago
7 0

DNA is like a blueprint telling enzymes and acids like RNA and mRNA what to do with its "code." The first option is not correct because the situation is actually vice versa. Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins; DNA is not made up of chromosomes and proteins. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human cell. In that cell there is also DNA and ribosomes that make up proteins. Option three is not entirely true because, well, if the option is referring to the process of transcription, then it is mRNA that translated DNA's code not RNA's. The fourth option is also wrong because alleles are located in parts of chromosomes. Thus, the second option is the correct option because the option both makes sense and is what DNA contains.

You experimentally apply a toxin to a muscle and find that it does not contract when you electrically stimulate the motor neuron
Furkat [3]

The question provided is not complete as it lacks the group of choices, however the group of choices are given as follows:

A. A contraction fails to occur because an action potential is not generated in the muscle cell.

B. A contraction fails to occur because this toxin directly prevents ion release from intracellular stores.

C. A contraction fails to occur because neurotransmitter release by the motor neuron is blocked at the neuromuscular junction.

D. A contraction fails to occur because this toxin prevents cross bridge formation and thereby directly prevents contraction.

E. C and D are both true

Answer:

The correct answer is option A : A contraction fails to occur because an action potential is not generated in the muscle cell.

Explanation:

A muscle contraction takes place when action potential bring to muscles by nerves, which is traveled with the help of motor neuron and imitated the muscle contraction.

Acetylcholine or Ach is a chemical messenger to bring the nerve impulses between a nerve and a muscle. If the receptor is block with applying toxin muscle will not contract as ACh will not be able to propagate the nerve impulse to the muscle so there will be no action potential.

The correct answer is option A : A contraction fails to occur because an action potential is not generated in the muscle cell.

<h2>The answer is:</h2>

B) All organisms that cannot synthesize their food by means of photosynthesis or chemo synthesis are heterotrophic.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

All  those organisms that cannot manufacture their own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances in the process of photosynthesis usually in the animals and plants. All animals, protozoans, fungi, and most bacteria are heterotrophs.
