Antiparallel means the two DNA strands are parallel to each other, but run in opposite directions. Basically, one strand is upside down. The two strands are held together with hydrogen bonds.

The earth is sometimes described as a giant magnet. True or false?
dybincka [34]
True. The crust of the Earth has some permanent magnetization, and the Earth's core generates its own magnetic field, sustaining the main part of the field we measure at the surface. So we could say that the Earth is, therefore, a "magnet."

Mendel wanted to find out if the pattern of inheritance for one trait affected the pattern of inheritance for another.what exper
balu736 [363]
He used  Pea plants to help him find the laws of inheritance. He crossed homozygous (AA) tall plants with short (aa) plants and found that all of the off spring were tall, due to the fact that tall is dominant and short is recessive. He then conducted another experiment where all the offspring mated (all offspring were heterozygous (Aa)) And produced the F1 generation and 25 percent of the plants were short (use a punnet square to see why) and 75 percent were tall. 

I hope this response helped :) If u have anymore q about mendelian genetics pls lmk !

it changes the composition of the DNA

DNA is chiefly responsible for storing and transferring genetic information whereas RNA acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes during the process of protein synthesis and directly codes for amino acids.

DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded.

DNA has thymine in its structure but RNA does not. Instead in place of thymine it has uracil.

starch is digested by amylase in mouth, but it is not digested in the stomach. what is the reason for this?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Only about five percent of starches are broken down in the mouth. (This is a good thing as more glucose in the mouth would lead to more tooth decay.) When carbohydrates reach the stomach no further chemical breakdown occurs because the amylase enzyme does not function in the acidic conditions of the stomach.
