Biology

Answer:

Its measures are based on divisions that are powers of ten.

Explanation:

The metric system used by scientists, doctors and mathematicians is the most used worldwide, including the official one in Brazil. This system was created at the time of the Inconfidência Mineira, by French scientists who wanted a system of less arbitrary measures, and that could not be lost. To choose this unit of length, they measured the distance from the Equator to the North Pole. They divided that distance by 10,000,000 and marked that distance on a bar. This unit, they called the metro.

In this system, the units are divided into tenths, hundredths and thousandths, adding the prefixes deci, centi and milli to the meter. They are smaller than the meter by 10, 100 and 1000 times, respectively.

Likewise, the multiples that are 10, 100 and 1000 times greater than the fundamental unit, the meter, were named after the addition of the prefix deca, hecto and kilo.

Answer:

The answer to this question is ‘A.’

Explanation:

The answer to this question is ‘A’ Metric measurement system is a decimal-based measurement system. That’s why it is based on divisions that are powers of ten. In Europe, people have commonly used a gram-centigrade based system for measurement. There is a total of two scientific methods of analysis. The metric system is not anymore based on the wavelength of krypton 86 radiation.

Which of the following statements about excision repair is correct?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

a. True, b. False, c.True, d. True

Explanation:

a. Base excision repair is started by a DNA glycosylase  that recognizes the changes and removes the altered base by cleavage of the glycosidic bond binding the base and the deoxyribose sugar together.

b. Nucleotide excision repair works by a cut-and patch mechanism that removes their heavy lesions, including pyrimidine dimers and nucleotides . Endonucleases are responsible for the lesion of the damaged strand.

c. Nucleotide excision repair  is initiated by the proteins namely UvrA, UvrC, and UvrB in Escherichia coli.

-UvrD (helicase II) later removes the damaged strand

-DNA polymerase I (PolI) fills in the resulting gap.

d. DNA glycolases removes the damaged nitrogenous base.

-It leaves the sugar-phosphate backbone intact and thus creating an  apurinic/apyrimidinic site, which is commonly referred to as an AP site.

e. Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A(XPA)

-This is an essential protein in the nucleotide excision repair pathway.

- It helps to make a pre-incision complex along with other proteins.
