<span>The variables in this study would be the folic acid used (the independent variable) and the DNA formed through the implementation (the dependent variable). By changing the amount of folic acid used in the experiment, the DNA will possibly be changed in the microbes.</span>

The correct answer is option (C) The amount of folic acid is the independent variable, and the DNA synthesized is the dependent variable.

DNA or the deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of the nitrogenous bases called the purines and pyrimidines. Folic acid or the vitamin B9 is essential for the synthesis of these nitrogen bases of the DNA. A scientific experiment conducted always has two parameters, a dependent and a independent variable. A dependent variable in an experiment is a variable which is being tested and measured. In the experiment Jon is conducting, the amount of DNA becomes an dependent variable which is being tested and measured in presence of folic acid.  An independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is changed or controlled in the scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. Here, folic acid becomes an independent variable as the amount of it is varied and tested to check the formation on DNA in bacteria.  Thus, an independent variable always changes to check its effect on the dependent variable.

the nontemplate strand of a portion of a gene reads 5'ACTGGTTCA. What will the sequence of the resulting transcript for this por
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

DNA template sequence:  

5' TGACCAAGT 3'

RNA antisense sequence: 3' UGACCAAGU 5'

>>> RNA sense sequence (transcript) : UGAACCAGU

Explanation:

In the DNA molecule, four types of nitrogenous bases are found: cytosine (C), and guanine (G), adenine (A) and thymine (T). In DNA the bases pair up with each other in the following ways: A pairs with T by two hydrogen bonds, while C pairs with G by three hydrogen bonds. In RNA (i.e., transcript sequence), T is replaced by uracil (U). Moreover, the RNA nucleotide sequence is read in the direction 5' to 3'.

Carbohydrate layer on the plasma membrane includes all of the following except:
irinina [24]

Answer:

c) Gives a cell its distinctive characteristics

Explanation:

Carbohydrates perform two main functions in the cell's membrane: <em>they participate in cell recognition and adhesion</em> (cell-cell signaling or cell-pathogen interactions), they also have a structural role as a physical barrier.

Most of the carbohydrates linked to the membrane are in the form of <em>glycoproteins oy glycolipids</em>, these are the molecules that share information and recognize host cells. <em>Glycocalyx </em>is another way we find carbohydrates in the cell membrane, this layer has cell-adhesion molecules that enable cells to adhere to each other.

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!
