A feature which distinguishes ribose from deoxyribose is, the absence of an OH at the 2' carbon.


In the ribose the second carbon atom contains hydrogen atom only. Ribose is termed as the carbohydrate.

It is a simple sugar which has linear form H-. It is a monosaccharide which contains five carbon atoms.

Deoxyribose is being derived from DNA and it differs from ribose by having hydrogen atom instead of hydroxyl group which functions as a RNA splicing.

The difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that in ribose the second carbon atom carries hydroxyl group while in deoxyribose, the second carbon atom contains only hydrogen atom. Ribose and Deoxyribose make up the backbone of RNA and DNA respectively.

What experimental evidence is there for the origin of life hypotheses?
ololo11 [35]

"The earliest evidence of life on Earth comes from fossils discovered in Western Australia that date back to about 3.5 billion years ago. These fossils are of structures known as stromatolites, which are, in many cases, formed by the growth of layer upon layer of single-celled microbes, such as cyanobacteria. (Stromatolites are also made by present-day microbes, not just prehistoric ones.)

The earliest fossils of microbes themselves, rather than just their by-products, preserve the remains of what scientists think are sulfur-metabolizing bacteria. The fossils also come from Australia and date to about 3.4 billion years ago

Bacteria are relatively complex, suggesting that life probably began a good deal earlier than 3.5 billion years ago. However, the lack of earlier fossil evidence makes pinpointing the time of life’s origin difficult (if not impossible)."

SCORPION-xisa [38]
The answer would be: Palpate her abdomen to determine the intensity of labor contractions as they're taking place.

<span>The electronic fetal monitor is a device that can determine the contraction level based on the pressure it reads. The device could report a wrong result if it used incorrectly(if the position is wrong or the belt is too loose). It is important to validate the device results to make sure it is not wrong.</span>

How are the law of independent assortment and the law of segregation different?
san4es73 [151]
Hi there!

The law of independent assortment says that the traits are randomly selected, there is no pattern to how they are sorted. The law of segregation says that the traits are divided between each gamete, using a pattern to sort them.

Hope this helps!! :)

Mumz [18]

<span>The answer is Plantae kingdom. The mentioned characteristics best describe the Kingdom. The next probable group would have been the Protoctista Kingdom but some move by use of flagella and cilia (hence not immovable). Protoctista Kingdom has heterotrophs too. The other known Kingdoms are Animalia, Fungi, and Prokaryotae.</span>
