DNAase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would first happen to DNA molecules treated with DNAase?
A) The purines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.
B) The pyrimidines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.
C) All bases would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.
D) The two strands of the double helix would separate.
E) The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken.
Answer:
E) The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken.
Explanation:
The purines and pyrimidines of two DNA strands of a DNA duplex are held together by hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are not covalent bonds. The enzyme DNAase targets the phosphodiester bonds. These are the covalent bonds that join two deoxyribonucleotides of a DNA strand together. therefore, when a DNA is subjected to digestion with DNAase enzyme, the phosphodiester bonds will be broken that hold the pentose sugars of two nucleotides by a phosphate group.
Answer:
B. Virus.
Explanation:
Hello.
In this case, since bacteria (A.) reproduce via asexual reproduction via mitosis and the animal (D.) and vegetal (C.) cells could reproduce via sexual or asexual reproduction depending on the organism, they do not need a host to start the replication of the DNA and therefore reproduce. In such a way, it is widely known that viruses need a host that facilitates the replication of their DNA or RNA (depending on the virus) since they only have their genetic information but they do not have neither the RNA nor the DNA polymerase that favor such process, that is why they need a host.

The nurse should explain that myelosuppression is a common side effect of cancer treatments. The healthcare provider should explain to the patient that it is better to reduce or stall the treatment for a while because it would be more harmful to them if they continued.
