Why was ice used during the extracting DNA

Biology
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The Cold Water  temperature helps increase the attachment of the DNA Explanation:

Using ice-cold ethanol and ice-cold water increases the yield of DNA. Low temperatures protect the DNA by slowing down the activity of enzymes that could break it apart. ... DNases in the cytoplasm would destroy the DNA of viruses entering the cell. Cold ethanol helps the DNA to precipitate more quickly

What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden increased in food for the prey
Umnica [9.8K]
At first, the population of predators would spike and increase quickly, but then over time, gradually decrease.

(This is because at first there's more food, so the predators population increases. But overtime it begins to level out and the predators' population catches up with the prey, and in result, doesn't continue increasing.)

Describe how carbon skeletons may vary, and explain how this variation contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic mo
Alecsey [184]

Carbon skeletons may vary in length, shape, number and location of double bonds and other elements covalently bonded to available sites.

A carbon atom contains four valence electrons thus, exhibiting a strong tendency to make covalent bonds with other atoms so as to complete its octet. Covalent bonds join carbon atoms together in long chains that create the skeletal framework for organic molecules.

A carbon atom could be linked to as many as four additional carbon atoms in an organic compound. Carbon atoms can also quickly form double bonds (where four electrons are shared among two atoms) and triple bonds (where six electrons are shared).

This variation in carbon skeletons contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic molecules.

We would expect that a 15-nucleotide sequence that includes a stop codon at the end (as part of the 15-nucleotide sequence) will
slega [8]

Answer: Four amino acids.

Explanation:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides. Thus, a nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids and consists of a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) linked to a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. <u>The nitrogenous bases can be Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) or Uracil (U) replacing T in RNA</u>. DNA is the molecule that stores the genetic information to synthesize polypeptides or proteins (set of amino acids). When proteins need to be created, DNA is transcribed into RNA and this RNA is translated in ribosomes to create polypeptides.

Complementarity is the ability to combine with their complement. A and T (or U) are complementary, while C and G are complementary to each other. Complementarity is the principle of replication and transcription, because it is a propery of both DNA and RNA sequences. Their the nucleotide bases at each position of the sequences are complementary, allowing cells to copy information.

Nucleotides in RNA are grouped into codons, which consist of groups of 3 nucleotides where each codon codes for an amino acid. Therefore, <u>the sequence of bases in nucleic acids determines which protein will be synthesized</u>. Protein synthesis begins with a start codon (AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine) and ends with a stop codon (UGA, UAG and UAA). So, if there are 15 nucleotides, there are 15 bases. Since they are grouped in groups of 3, we will have a polypeptide of 4 amino acids.

<u>3 nucleotides form a codon, so 12 nucleotides form 4 codons giving 4 amino acids. The last codon, is formed by the last 3 nucleotides and form the stop codon that stop protein synthesis</u>.
