The presence of protein in the urine indicates which of the following

Bess [88]

The presence of protein in the urine is called proteinuria. Proteinuria is an indicator that THE KIDNEYS' FILTRATION MEMBRANE HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
It is the work of the kidneys to filter the blood and remove all the waste products while conserving the materials needed in the body. When body materials such as protein begin to come out with urine in excess of the normal quantity expected, then that means that the kidney is not filtering the blood very well again and this is usually due to damage in the kidney glomeruli which perform the process of filtration.

Describe the Watson and Crick model of DNA structure. How did it fit the data provided by Chargaff and the X-ray diffraction pat

icang [17]

DNA model given by Watson and Creek in the year of 1953 gave a very detailed study regarding the structure of B DNA which is valid till date and is essentially corroborating with Chargaff's data and Xray diffraction pattern.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The DNA is the most common nucleic acid found in the living organisms as a genetic material. As stated by Watson and Creek, this DNA contains a double helical structure with two sugar phosphate backbones and the nitrogen bases getting projected from it inwards. The backbones are formed of ribose sugar and phosphate and joined together with a phosphodiester bond. The ribose sugar is attached to phosphates at its 3' and 5' Carbon atoms. The nitrogen bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine. The Adenine has two hydrogen bonds with thymine and guanine has 3 hydrogen bonds with cytosine.

Each full turn of a helix is 34A and each base pair is 3.4A apart. The distance between two strands of DNA is 20A.

Chargaff's rule regarding the equal amount of adenine and thymine as well as guanine and cytosine is matching with this structure. All the other rules also do match with this DNA structure.

An electrician is carrying out some repairs in your house. He wants to replace a fuse by a piece of wire. Would you agree? Give

DerKrebs [107]

Answer: No

Explanation:

The electrician just cannot replace any piece of wire to fuse because the ceramic that is used in case of fuse has a wire attached in it.

This wire is of low resistance so that when there is higher voltage the wire just cannot tolerate the high voltage and wire breaks down.

Any wire just cannot be replace by the fuse because the there are some calculations which has to be made.

The wire if used should be of low resistance and more properties then only it is eligible to be replaced by fuse.
