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

Biology
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
7 0

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.

jarptica [38.1K]

Dr. Charles is using fMRI when she uses strong magnets to track changes in the brain's blood-oxygen levels.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging or (fMRI) is a techique used to measure brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow. When an area of the brain is in use, blood flow to that region will increase.

Bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen to which of the following in the process of nitrogen fixation?
DiKsa [7]

Q1) Bacteria are capable of converting atmospheric N in the form of N2 gas to NH3. this process is known as nitrogen fixation. N2 in the atmospheric form is not usable by other organisms, therefore specialised bacteria such as Azetobacter species are capable of carrying out this conversion from N2 gas into NH3 form that can be used by other organisms 


Q2) Condensation.

Water in the gaseous state or known as vapour state converted to liquid state, process is known as condensation. in condensation the particles in water become more tightly packed and heat energy is removed from these particles reducing their kinetic energy thus becoming liquid state


Q3) 

Transpiration declines

Deforestation is when the number of trees and plants have been cut down therefore numbers have reduced drastically, transpiration is the process in which water is transported through the plant and lost to the environment through evaporation. When the trees and plants have reduced the water lost by way of transpiration is also reduced. This impacts the water cycle as the number of water being cycled in the environment is lesser now.


Q4) the sun

sun is the major source of energy that facilitates the recycling of water in the water cycle. The sun causes water to be evaporated from water bodies and converted to water vapour. This water vapour is then recycled.


Q5) Plants can’t use Nitrogen in the form of N2

N is an essential element needed by plants, however plants cannot use up the atmospheric N2 gas. therefore bacteria are capable of nitrogen fixation that converts N2 gas into forms that can be used up and absorbed by the plants from soil.

Describe an experiment to investigate the effect of training on subjects ability to run faster without respire get anaerobically
Zinaida [17]
A runner HAS to use the anaerobic respiration process,first we need to know the difference between anaerobic respiration and aeorobic respiration 

<span>Anaerobic respiration is done by burning glucose directly without the presence of oxygen giving out lactic acid and energy </span>
<span>Aerobic respiration is done by burning glucose and oxygen giving out water + engergy + Co2 </span>

<span>1.) Take a stop-watch </span>
<span>2.) Take TWO or more runners </span>
<span>3.) Unlike Olympic race match ask ONE of the runners to run their fastes and the others to GRADUALLY speed up </span>
<span>4.) make the runners breath hard for air </span>
<span>5.) after finish line </span>
<span>6.) do a test of Lactic through urin test or use Lactometer (don't ask me how to use it 'cause I don't know lol) </span>
<span>7.) check the concerntration </span>
<span>8.) whoever has the LOWEST concerntration,take that runner time for running and meter to find speed you'll be able to spot out who has used aerobic respiration during the race</span>

Advocard [28]

Answer;

Opponent process theory

Explanation;

-Opponent process theory suggests that color perception is controlled by the activity of two opponent systems: a blue-yellow mechanism and a red-green mechanism.

-The opponent process theory suggests that the way humans perceive colors is controlled by three opposing systems. We need four unique colors to characterize perception of color: blue, yellow, red, and green. According to this theory, there are three opposing channels in our vision; these are blue vs yellow, red vs green and black vs white.
