The most prominent roles of mitochondria<span> are to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP (i.e., phosphorylation of ADP), through respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism. The central set of reactions involved in ATP production are collectively known as the citric acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle</span>

Do you think animals pollinate flowers and disperse seeds on purpose or by accident?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Animals most likely pollinate by accident.

Explanation:

Deer for example, they may graze in the grass. The pollen/seeds could catch onto their fur--and later fall off into a different area when they walk away. They could also eat a plant, and the seeds end up in their feces. Bees for another example don't necessarily <em>mean</em> to pollinate, they just happen to pick up pollen/seeds when they land on a flower for honey.

Hope this helps :)

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true of depurination (DP), deamination (DA), or pyrimidine dimer formation
solniwko [45]

Answer:

- This process is caused by spontaneous hydrolysis of a glycosidic bond: depurination and deamination

- This process is induced by ultraviolet light:  pyrimidine dimer formation

- This can happen to guanine but not to cytosine: depurination

- This can happen to thymine but not to adenine:  pyrimidine dimer formation

- This can happen to thymine but not to cytosine: none

- Repair involves a DNA glycosylase: deamination

- Repair involves an endonuclease: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

- Repair involves DNA ligase: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

-  Repair depends on the existence of separate copies of the genetic information in the two strands of the double helix: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

- Repair depends on cleavage of both strands of the double helix: none

Explanation:

Depurination is the loss of purine bases (either adenine or guanine), while deamination refers to the removal of an amino group. During depurination, a β-N-glycosidic bond is cleaved by hydrolysis and a nucleic base is released (either adenine or guanine). All DNA bases may undergo deamination, except thymine (since thymine does not have an amino group). The ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause thymine or cytosine to form dimers (e.g., pyrimidine dimers), being thymine dimers the most common lesion when DNA is exposed to UV light. Pyrimidine dimers may be repaired by different excision mechanisms, e.g., nucleotide excision repair, where the recognition of the DNA damage leads to the removal of the DNA fragment containing the lesion. DNA glycosylases are enzymes involved in the mechanism of base excision, these enzymes recognize and remove damaged bases by hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond, producing an abasic (apurinic and apyrimidinic) site. A DNA ligase enzyme covalently joins two DNA molecules by forming a phosphodiester bond, which is required during these processes.

The MOST accurate way to determine the evolutionary relationship between two animals is through the examination of
baherus [9]

Answer;

DNA or protein sequences of shared genes


The MOST accurate way to determine the evolutionary relationship between two animals is through the examination of DNA or protein sequences of shared genes.


Explanation;

DNA or protein sequences of shared genes. Biochemical evidence is extremely accurate in determining the relationship between two organisms. Many animals have been re-classified, due to DNA evidence.
