Explain why DNA replication is more complex in eukaryotes than in bacteria.

Biology

svet-max [94.6K]3 years ago

In eukaryotes, the DNA strands are linear, and DNA polymerase can't replicate the very ends of the DNA strands! These ends are "protected" by repeated sequences called "telomeres." Either the chromosome gets shorter with each replication, or else a special enzyme-nucleic acid complex called telomerase adds new telomeres to the ends. A prokaryotic chromosome is circular and thus does not have the problem of having ended. 

<span>Eukaryotic DNA is wound around histones, coiled, and supercoiled -- to replicate it, there have to be unwinding mechanisms, and mechanisms to reduce the degree of coiling. In prokaryotes, the winding problem is much less, and there aren't any histones.</span>

Why is freezing water extremely biologically relevant?
Reika [66]
I feel like this question has more to do with water and its changes of states more than just freezing water. Water has a high specific heat, which means that it takes more energy to either boil or freeze than many other types of substances. This is unusual about water because it has a low molecular weight, which is normally associated with a smaller need for energy to change states. Is water didn't require this extra energy, then it water would freeze much more easily. This would be detrimental for many biological ecosystems. Think about how the world would be if water froze at say 60 degrees F, rather than 32. This would significantly effect the world as we know it.

A Safety Data Sheet refers to a detailed information document prepared by a manufacturer of  hazardous chemicals. It describes the physical and chemical properties of the product.

<h3>What is Safety Data Sheet?</h3>
  • A Safety Data Sheet refers to a detailed information document prepared by a manufacturer or importer of  hazardous chemicals.
  • Describes the physical and chemical properties of the product.
  • A safety data sheet provides comprehensive information about a chemical, including its properties physical, health, and environmental hazards; and  protective measures or safety precautions to be followed in handling, storing, or transporting materials.
  • Safety data sheets inform users about product hazards, how to use the product safely, what to expect if  recommendations are not followed, how to recognize symptoms of exposure, and what to do in an emergency .
  • Safety data sheets provide information about chemicals and help users of those chemicals to make  risk assessments.
  • They describe  hazards arising from chemicals and provide information on handling, storage, and emergency procedures in the event of an accident.
