1. What are the three components of a nucleotide? (HINT: What were the three components used in putting the model together? Reme

mber that Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine are all Nitrogen Bases!) Refer to your DNA article if you are still unsure.
2. What is the name of the sugar molecule in the DNA helix?

3. Suppose you know that the sequence of bases on one DNA strand (one side of the DNA ladder) is AGCTCAG. What is the sequence of the bases on the opposite strand?

4. Assume that a 100-bair pair DNA double helix contains 45 cytosines. How many adenines are there?

Answer:

1) Nitrogenous bases, Pentose (ribose) sugar and the phosphate group

2) Deoxyribose sugar

3)CTGAGCT

4) 55

Explanation:

1) A nucleotide (DNA/RNA) comprises of the following

  • <u>Nitrogenous bases</u>: which are adenine, thymine (only found n DNA), cytosine  and uracil (only found in RNA).
  • <u>Pentose sugar</u>: A five carbon sugar called ribose is also one of the components of a nucleotide
  • <u>Phosphate group:</u> made up of phosphorus and oxygen

2) Deoxyribose sugar: It is also a pentose but it is one oxygen atom lesser than the ribose sugar found in the RNA.

3) In base pairs of DNA, Adenine binds to Thymine while Cytosine binds to Guanine. Also, the DNA is read in the 5' to 3' direction for both the forward and reverse strand. Hence when forward strand is written from left to right, the reverse strand will be written from right to left.

The explanation above provides the reason for writing the opposite strand as CTGAGCT.

4) From the explanation in the previous answer, it can also be deduced that the total number of adenine is equal to the total number of thymine in a DNA base pair while the total number of guanine is equal to the total number of cytosine in a base pair. Hence when cytosine is 45 in a base pair of 100, guanine is also 45 while adenine is 55 and thymine is also 55. Hence, the 45 cytosine will bind to 45 guanine while the 55 adenine will bind to 55 thymine to form the 100 base pairs.

NOTE: 45 + 55 = 100 base pairs

Both coal and diamonds are forms of elemental carbon. Coal is brittle while diamonds are considered to be the hardest Of all sub
Art [367]

arbon, as with many elements, can arrange its atoms into several different geometries, or "allotropes." In pure diamond, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to exactly 4 other carbon atoms in a very specific and energetically favorable geometry. The diamond cannot be broken or scratched unless many covalent bonds are broken, which is difficult to do. In another common allotrope, graphite, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms, and the atoms are arranged in sheets that are not covalently bonded to each other. The sheets can be broken apart easily, ultimately meaning that graphite can be easily scratched. Coal is composed of particles of different allotropes of carbon, and some "amorphous carbon," which has no defined geometry in its atomic structure. Without a continuous network of covalent bonds, coal is easily scratched (i.e. it is not hard).

1. Explain how the traits of an organism are related to the genes in DNA.
viktelen [127]

Genes in DNA or responsible for the traits an organism has. This is caused by Dominant and Recessive Traits. Remember that Genotypes are the genetic letters such as RR, Rr, and rr. Phenotype is physical traits.

Dominant Traits are more likely or always show in the offspring. The Dominant Genotype uses Capital letters such as RR.

Recessive Traits are less likely to show up. Their Genotype use lower case such as rr. Now genotypes of Rr have one dominant trait and one recessive trait. If the dominant trait was black fur and the recessive white fur, the offspring will be black fur because dominant traits overpower the other.

To understand how to know if an organism will have Dominant or Recessive Genes, you have to use something called a Punnet Square. Lets imagine 2 parents both have the genotype Rr. R is Black fur and r is white fur. As you can see from the chart, 3 of 4 boxes have Rr and 1 rr. Since there is a Dominant Trait with a Recessive, they will show a Dominant Phenotype, or Black fur. This has 3/4 chance and a 1/4 chance for white fur in the offspring.
