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

Biology

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.

The processes of transcription, making RNA from DNA, and replication, copying DNA from DNA, are major functions that require polymerases to link nucleotides into long chains. </span>

A train travels at 69 kilometers in 1 hours and then 98 kilometers in 5 hours. What is it’s average speed?
krek1111 [17]

Solution:

A train travels at 69 kilometers in 1 hours and then travels 98 kilometers in 5 hours.

(i)Total distance traveled =  69 + 98

                                       =  167 kilometers

(ii) Total time taken to cover total distance = 5 + 1

                                                                       = 6 hours

(iii)  Average speed =  total distance traveled divided by total time taken

                                =  167/ 6 = 27.83 kilometers per hour
