Why is the pairing of nitrogen bases key to understanding how DNA replication occurs?

Biology

Burka [1]3 years ago

The DNA replication occurs by preparing a new strand of DNA that is based on the template strand only. So understanding the nitrogen base pairing is very essential for understanding DNA replication.

<h3><u> Explanation:</u></h3>

DNA replication occurs prior to any type of cell division in all organisms. In case of humans, the DNA that is to be replicated needs to be de winded by means of decondensation of chromosomes into chromatin fibres and then to DNA fibres. Then there are enzymes like helicase and gyrase which helps in breaking the hydrogen bonds between two strands of DNA and to open it up for enzymes to get attached.

Then the enzyme DNA dependent DNA polymerase works on both the strands of DNA where it reads the mother DNA strand as a template and then brings deoxyribonucleotides complementary to the template strand and then polymerises it with the previous nucleotide to form a new DNA strand. Thus two DNA strands are produced which are again complementary to each other, leading to the production of a new daughter DNA. So, understanding the complementary base pairing is very essential to understand the DNA replication.

Will you find different nitrogenous bases in humans and other animals?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The universality of the genetic code refers to how the codons for amino acids are always the same in almost all species. Amino acids have corresponding nitrogenous bases in pairs of three called a codon. so to have the same amino acids, all species would need the same nitrogenous bases.

what are the major environmental effects of the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution
natita [175]

The effects of the agricultural and industrial revolution on the environment is significant. The release of industrial waste into streams and rivers still is a major problem. The release of CO^{2} into the atmosphere has been shown as a major factor of climate change. Additionally, smog and other atmospheric pollutants create many issues. Finally, the use of industrial fertilizer and pesticides have caused algae blooms which are harmful to aquatic environments.
