Which activity distinguishes the larva stage from the pupa stage of an insect?

Given that each nucleotide is complimentary to another nucleotide, there cannot be more of one than the other. For example, C bonds to G, so there cannot be more C than G, because there would be nothing for it to bond to.

So if there is approximately 16% of the genome composed of C, that would mean that approximately 16% is composed of G (for it to bond to).

The same logic can be used to determine the amount of nucleotide X is present. If Y binds to X, and approximately 22% is composed of nucleotide Y, then the same percentage can be given to nucleotide X, and say the amount of X is 22%.

Now all of the nucleotides have to add up to 100%, so:

A + T + G + C + X + Y = 100%

A + T + (16%) + (16%) + (22%) + (22%) = 100%

A + T = 24%

Given that A binds to T, they must be equal to each other, hence we can say that the concentration of A, equals the concentration of T.

Therefore, the concentration of A is 12%, and the concentration of T is also 12%.

What happens during the initiation step of DNA transcription? A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA st

Amanda [17]

Answer:

A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process in which DNA template is used to synthesize mRNA.

There are three steps of transcription:

Initiation

It is the process in which a portion of DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase binds to the promotor region on the DNA.

Elongation

It is the process in which RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template and synthesizes mRNA. During this process, unwinding of double stranded DNA takes place.

Termination

As the RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template, it finally reaches a termination signal and then stops synthesizing. It is followed by the detachment of the newly formed mRNA and RNA polymerase from the DNA.

QUESTION:

A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA strand.

This is the incorrect answer choice as this process does not happen in the process of transcription. This event happens in the process of translation in which mRNA is used to synthesize proteins or amino acids. mRNA attaches to ribosome during this process.

RNA polymerase moves along the template strand of the DNA creating an mRNA strand.

This is the incorrect answer choice as this event takes place in the process of elongation.

A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.

This is the correct answer choice as this event takes place in the process of initiation of transcription

The mRNA detaches from the RNA polymerase as the RNA polymerase leaves the DNA strand.

This is the incorrect answer choice. This event takes place in the event of termination of transcription.

Like gymnosperms, many grasses and angiosperm trees are wind-pollinated. To conserve energy, these angiosperms do not produce co

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

C. petals

Explanation:

A)fruits

B)sepals

C)petals

D)anthers

E)ovaries

The part that will not be necessary in wind pollinated angiosperm is the petals .

The petal is a part of flower that is usually colorful and primarily function by attaracting insect pollinators to the flower.

Since wind pollinated angiosperms do not need to attract insect for pollination, they do not need the colorful petals. They rely on wind to carry their pollen from their anthers to their stigmas (pollination).

Hence, the correct option is C.
