yaroslaw [1]4 years ago

The double-stranded DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) breaks into two separate strands when the temperature is increased, such as in the denaturation step of the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), because the increase in the temperature makes the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases to break. The double hydrogen bond between the adenine and thymine, and the triple hydrogen bond between the guanine and cytosine breaks apart when heated causing the two DNA strands to fall apart.

Hence, the answer is the breaking of the hydrogen bond between the nitrogenous bases.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

As the temperature increase the covelent bonds between the bases of two strands breaks making two single strands of DNA.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Two strands of DNA are attached to each other by the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous strands of two bases.
  • There is double hydrogen bond between the adenine and thymine, and the triple hydrogen bond between the guanine and cytosine bases.
  • As the temperature increase kinetic energy of covelent bond pair increase resulting in bond breakage.

How does protein synthesis work?
irinina [24]

Protein synthesis is accomplished through a process called translation. After DNA is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule during transcription, the mRNA must be translated to produce a protein. In translation, mRNA along with transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomes work together to produce proteins.

Mazyrski [523]
Resorbing or breaking down bone matrix are the responsibilities of Osteoclasts. It is a balance between bone production and bone absorption into the circulation of tissue or cells which is obligatory for remodeling and re-establishing the skeleton. Osteocytes are mature osteoblasts – a cell that produces and discharge a substance for bone formation.

Antibiotic resistance is becoming more common in disease-causing bacteria because?
amid [387]

Antibiotic resistance occurs naturally and it is use as medicines as well as misuse of antibiotics in humans ans animals is accelerating the process.

Nowadays infections are growing such as gonorrhea, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc all are becoming hard to treat or fight with them because of less effective antibiotics.Inappropriate uses of antibiotics spread antibiotic resistance bacteria.

Excessive use of antibiotics or use for wrong reasons can cause bacteria to became resistant and multiply rapidly in human body or environment. When bacteria develop the ability to survive exposure of antibiotics that are design to kill them or stop their growth. Young children, cancer patient and over age people at great risk.
