Answer:

B. A purine always bonds with a pyrimidine.

Explanation:

DNA is a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides each of which has a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and phosphate group. There are two types of nitrogenous bases present in DNA. Adenine and guanine are the purine bases and have two rings in their structure while the cytosine and thymine are the pyrimidine bases with a single ring structure.

A purine base of one DNA strand always pairs with the pyrimidine base of another DNA strand. Adenine (purine) makes two hydrogen bonds with thymine (pyrimidine) while guanine (purine) makes three hydrogen bonds with cytosine (pyrimidine). The pairing of a purine with a pyrimidine base keeps the diameter of a DNA double helix uniform throughout the length. For instance, the diameter of B-DNA is around 20 angstrom.

Which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? bind
Hitman42 [59]
The step in translation initiation that is unique to the eukaryotes is:

<span>formation of the preinitiation complex ribosome assembly
</span>
Here are the processes involved in the Translation Initiation of Eukaryotes

1) 5'cap is used to position the mRNA on the 40S ribosomal subunit
2) ribosome scans down the mRNA looking for an AUG.
3) There is an initiator methionine-tRNA
4) The initiating AUG codon is often within a consensus sequence called the Kozak sequence (5'-ACCAUGG-3')
5) After binding the cap, ribosomes scan down the mRNA until the Kozak sequence is reached and translation begins
<span>6)The poly (A) tail and 5'-cap binding proteins help the initiation complex form

how do you think earths large temperature gradient affects the speed of its convection currents how would this speed change if e
dezoksy [38]
A higher temperature gradient causes faster heat transfer, and thus faster convection currents. If the core were cooler, the temperature gradient would be lower, so the convection currents would likely slow down.

Gnom [1K]

A parent with one non-functional copy of the gene is a carrier. Carriers for Cystic fibrosis will have no symptoms but they can pass the non-functioning gene on to their children.

<h3>What is cystic fibrosis?</h3>

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease and individual must inherit two non-functioning CF genes that is one from each parent to have CF. Both parents must have at least one copy of the defective gene and people who have only one copy of the defective CF gene are called carriers but they do not have the disease. Many couples who have a child with CF have no family history of cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis affects cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices and also it causes these fluids to become thick and sticky. They block tubes, ducts, and passageways.

Symptoms include cough, repeated lung infections, inability to gain weight, and fatty stools. Treatments for this disease may ease symptoms and reduce complications.
