Biology
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago

1. DNA is double stranded, while RNA is single stranded

2. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose; while RNA containers the sugar ribose

3. The four nitrogenous bases that are a part of DNA are guanine, cytosine, adenine, and thymine; in RNA, the four nitrogenous bases are guanine, cytosine, adenine, and uracil (the uracil in RNA replaces the thymine in DNA)

Hope this helps :)

Explain why the process of cell differentiation occurs.
Inga [223]

Answer: Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. This occurs through a process called gene expression. Gene expression occurs because of certain signals in your body, both inside and outside of your cells. Cell differentiation occurs during multiple stages of development.

<span>Urea is the cellular waste product that the kidneys remove from the blood.Kidneys are the two bean shaped organs that has several functions to keep the body healthy. It not only removes urea from the blood, but also helps in the formation of urine and maintaining the fluid level of the body. The two kidneys are placed on the two sides of the spinal cord. The blood enters the kidney through the renal artery. The nephron within the kidneys mainly take out the waste products and the excess water from the blood and purifies it.If the kidneys of a person fail to work properly then it becomes important to perform dialysis for taking out the waste materials from the blood.</span>

A certain buffer is made by mixing a weak acid HA and its conjugate base A–. When HA is present at a concentration of 0.5 mM and
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:The ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69

Explanation:

The dissociation constant for formic acid = K_a=1.8\times 10^{-4}

Concentration of HA= 0.5 mM

Concentration of A^-= 0.1 mM

pH = 6.16

First we have to calculate the value of K_a.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[A^-}{[HA]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

6.16=pK_a+\log (\frac{[0.1]}{0.5})

pK_a=6.86

To calculate the ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

7.02=6.86+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

7.02=6.86+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1.44

\frac{[HA]}{[A^-]}=0.69

Thus the ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69

how would a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule affect the mRNA transcribed from the DNA molecule?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
There are several types of changes that could happen. If one of the letters of DNA were to be changed to a differnt letter, this might result in a differnt amino acid being put into the protein being synthesized. Or, changing a single letter could tell the protein to stop being made (a stop codon is formed) this would make a much smaller version of the protein. If a letter is either inserted or deleted this is called a "frame shift" mutation and this totally destroyes the message. A sudden change in the sequence of DNA could also "silence" the gene turning off transcription so that no mRNA would even be made. Or, it could enhance transcription increasing the ammount of mRNA. There are many many ways that a DNA mutation can affect mRNA, do you need anything more specific?<span>Its very simple,mRNA is kinda messenger which takes information from genetic material(DNA) which will later get translated to functional protein.The information in genetic material is in the shape of sequence of nucleotides pairs.there are four kinda nucleotides 1.adenine,2.guanine3.cytosine4.thiamine.... nucleotides lare kinda codes which get imprinted on mRNA , where thiamine is exception coz it get transcribed to uracil.
,since mRNA does contain thiamine but it has a replacement known as uracil.So its very simple if there will be any change in nucleotide the information given to mRNA will also change .So u see sudden change in nucleotides will mean that information send to mRNA will get changed.other things getting affected would be protein.</span><span>.As mRNA will later translate this information to make proteins from amino acids</span>
