What holds one strand of DNA together?

Some people argue that evolution, which is generally associated with progressive increases in the

yKpoI14uk [10]

This argument would not be valid because it fails to take into account the mechanisms through which evolution occurs and misunderstands the second law of thermodynamics.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a system must always increase. The argument stating that this law disproves evolution given that evolution can be considered as a decrease in entropy, fails to realize that the second law states that the total entropy must increase, this does not mean that entropy cannot decrease at one point, to then increase more so at another.

The other aspect of evolution that this argument fails to account for is that evolution is a chaotic process. Evolution, though having a final product that may be considered as increasing in organization, is at heart a chaotic process caused by random mutations and the fragile process of natural selection. Therefore, rather than disprove it, the second law of thermodynamics is actually the driving force behind continued evolution.

The Ras protein functions as a molecular switch that is set to its "on" state by other proteins that cause it to expel its bound

Darya [45]

Answer: Ras activity would be significantly slower in its response to extracellular signals.

Explanation:

• GTPase acts as a catalyst in converting RasGTP (active state) to RasGDP (inactive state)

• A mutant lacking the GTPase activating protein cannot activate GTPase so thee will nit be any functional GTPase

• if GTPase is not present then RasGTP may be expdessed for longer periods of time and there will be a lag until it eventually switches "off)

Semenov [28]

I would diagnose the patient with lassa fever. Lassa fever is an acute viral illness which lasts for 4 weeks. It occurs mostly in west Africa and Sierra leone is found in west Africa. Some of it's symptoms are fever, nausea or vomiting, headache and diarrhea. In severe cases bleeding will occur.

Give a reason why an electron microscope cannot be used to study life specumen

lesya [120]

Explanation: Electron microscopes are the most powerful type of microscope, capable of distinguishing even individual atoms. However, these microscopes cannot be used to image living cells because the electrons destroy the samples.

Some of the drugs used to treat hiv patients are competitive inhibitors of the hiv reverse transcriptase enzyme. unfortunately,

REY [17]

Such changes would occur mostly likely near or in the active binding site of the enzyme.
Because the drugs used are competitive inhibitors of the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, it means that they connect directly to the active binding site of this enzyme not allowing it to preform its function. If the mutations impede this drugs to work, it is probably because they alter the active binding site of the enzyme, not allowing the drug to bind and have its competitive behaviour permitting the enzyme to work normally.
