Why does maltose have both alpha and beta anomers?

Biology
2 answers:
BabaBlast [244]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Maltose is a disaccharide sugar made up of two units of glucose.

In cyclic structure, the glucose exists in two anomeric forms; alpha and beta.

These glucose units can either joined by α (1→4) glycosidic bond or by β (1→4) glycosidic bond.

Thus, the maltose exists in two anomeric form alpha and beta.

Maltose is a disaccharide that made of 2 glucose units. Each glucose unit can happen as alpha or beta. So, "α" or "β" is grounded on the relation between the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon and the furthest chiral center in the ring. The α anomer is the one in which these two locations have the same configuration; they are opposite in the β anomer.

If organisms are of the same species, _____.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The correct answer will be options-

1. they share genetic similarities

2. they can interbreed

3. they fall under the same genus

Explanation:

The taxonomic studies help the organism to identify, nomenclature and classification of the organism.

The classification system helps organize the organisms into several groups based on the similarity of the morphological characters. The species is the lowest group of the system which contains the organism which is reproductively isolated from the other group of organism.

If two organism is found to be of the same species shows that they share the same gene pool, belongs to the same genus and they can interbreed.

Thus, the selected options are the correct answer.

Base excision repair (BER) differs from nucleotide excision repair (NER) in which of the following ways?
postnew [5]

The correct answer is:  5) NER recognizes helix distortions, while BER recognizes specific base damage.

DNA damage that occurs as a result of radiation, oxidizing reagents, chemicals and other mutagens can be repaired. Excision repair repairs single strand DNA damage and it includes:

• Nucleotide excision repair (NER)-it detects and repairs types of damage that distort the DNA double helix such as those of UV radiation (thymine dimers); not only the damaged nucleotide(s) are removed but also a surrounding patch of DNA

• Base excision repair (BER)-it detects and removes certain types of damaged bases (small, non-helix-distorting bases); enzyme glycosylase is responsible for this type of repair
