Cancer cells are the cells that divide rapidly than any other cells in the body. The drugs used in chemotherapy work on rapidly dividing cancer cells. Some cells of our body apart from cancer cells also divide rapidly along with the cancer cells such as the cells that line the stomach and the digestive tract. Chemotherapy drugs cannot differentiate the cancer cells and the normal cells so these drugs also attack the normal cells which divide rapidly along with the cancer cells. The drugs also attack the cells that are present in the roots of the hair. So, this results in the hair loss. Hair loss does not occur immediately after the chemotherapy treatment instead it starts after few treatments. The degree of the hair loss after chemotherapy depends on the drug type and process. So when the chemotherapy drugs are used it results in the hair loss and nausea.
Therefore, when chemotherapy drugs attack normal cells including the roots of the hair instead of cancer cells that divide rapidly along with the cancer cells it results in the hair loss and nausea.
The mRNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand; however, uracil instead of thymine is paired with adenine.
<h3>What is RNA?</h3>
This is referred to as ribonucleic acid with its base adenine being paired with uracil.
The mRNA strand which is known as messenger RNA is complementary to the DNA template strand and carries protein information from the DNA to cytoplasm for appropriate translation.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. A modification of the leaves into the spine in a cactus plant can be seen The spines are modified leaves. It helps defend the plant and also reduce the surface area which helps limit loss of water.
There are four bases found in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). Adenine forms a base pair with thymine, and cytosine forms a base pair with guanine. There is a one-to-one relationship in these base pairings (Chargaff’s rule), which means that if you know the percentage of any one of them within a given DNA sample, you can calculate the percentages of the other three. In this case, you're given the percentage of guanine, and you want to find out the percentage of adenine.
Since guanine base-pairs with cytosine and since there must be as much cytosine as there is guanine, 41% of the bases in this gene are cytosine as well. That means that adenine and thymine <em>together </em>make up the remaining 18% (100% − 41% G − 41% C) of the base pairs. If there must be an equivalence in the number of thymine and adenine bases per Chargaff's rule, then half of the remaining base pairs must comprise adenine and the other half comprise thymine. Half of 18% is 9%.
Thus, adenine makes up 9% of the bases in this gene.
Answer:
Main function of phloem Transportation of food particles.
Explanation:
Phloem is the living vascular tissue in plants. Phloem is also known as bast. Phloem is responsible for transporting food to parts of the plant where needed. It's mainly transport sugar sucrose which is made by photosynthesis. This transport process is called translocation. In trees the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark.
