Answer:DNA is antiparallel.

Explanation: DNA is a double stranded helix in which the two strands are antiparallel. Being antiparallel means that as one strand runs from 5'->3' direction, the other strand runs from 3'->5' direction. During DNA each of the two strands serves as a template for a new complementary strand. The synthesis of a new DNA strand is always in the 5'->3' direction, therefore one strand is synthesized continuously in the direction of the replication fork while the other strand is synthesized discontinuously in the direction opposite to the replication fork in short fragments called the Okazaki fragments. The strand that is synthesized continuously is called the leading strand while the strand that is synthesized discontinuously in Okazaki fragments is called the lagging strand.

What are the three main classifications that describe galaxies? By what one visible
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Spiral Galaxies, Elliptical Galaxies  & Irregular Galaxies

Explanation:

How did galaxies originate? Astronomers believe that after the big bang, the explosion which began the universe 10 billion to 20 billion years ago, gravity began to compress masses of free-floating gas. Two main theories, bottom-up and top-down, explain what happened next. According to bottom-up theories, clusters began to form and assembled together into the larger units we know as galaxies. Top-down theories suggest that galaxies formed first, and the stars and other objects within them were subsequently produced. They categorized different galaxies to maintain their tests from the other galaxies.

Which of the following sequences shows a frameshift mutation compared to the wild-type mRNA sequence?
Butoxors [25]

Option C:

B. wild-type 5-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3 mutant 5'-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA- 3' 

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation such that the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion occurs in such as way that it alters the complete sequence of 3 codon sets and can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.

As it is pertinent to understanding that all genes are normally translated in sets of 3 codons, which typically describes and explain a unique amino acid sequence. Thus, if a frame shift mutation occurs, it can affect many amino acid sequences and finally the entire protein.  

If we look at option B:

wild-type 5-AUG   CAU  ACA  UUG  GAG  UGA-3  

mutant 5’-    AUG   CAU  ACA  UCU  GGA  GUG  A-3’  

An insertion of a base Uracil showed at the end of 3rd codon which affected and altered the whole sequence of codon triplets. This changed all next codons and finally all next amino acids will be altered.

In science, model scan show a process that difficult to observe directly. Use the style of the model shown, draw the process tha
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Explanation:After the transcription of the DNA is complete, the genes encoding the amino acids for the proteins are copied onto the mRNA strand. After this, this RNA strand moves out of the nucleus. The ribosomes attaches the mRNA strand to itself and the tRNA reads the codon and brings the amino acid to the ribosome and attaches it. This process is continued till the protein is formed. This process is known as translation.

Hence, translation should be shown to complete the protein synthesis model.

While examining a specimen under the microscope, Janet discovers a structure that has some genetic material that has RNA but not
Archy [21]

Answer:

The correct answer will be virus.

Explanation:

The virus is the infectious agents which cannot replicate themselves. these viruses contain a protein capsid surrounding the genetic material.

The genetic material in the virus could be DNA or RNA but do not have both as single-stranded or double-stranded forms.  

A virus with RNA are common in nature and an only a limited amount of RNA or DNA can fit a capsid and the capsid along with genetic material is known as the nucleocapsid.  

Since the specimens show RNA but not DNA it is a virus-like Ebola, polio, measles, therefore, the specimen is virus and is the correct answer.
