In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.
0.1 M solution of a disaccharide solution will contain 2000 monosaccharide molecules.
<h3>What are monosaccharides?</h3>
Monosaccharides, also known as simple sugars are the simplest monomers of carbohydrates which may either be 3 carbon, 4 carbon, 5 carbon, 6 carbon or 7 carbo compounds.
There are two types of monosaccharides;
- aldoses sugars, e.g. glucose, and
- ketose sugars e.g. fructose.
When two monosaccharides are linked together by glycosidic bonds to form a single compound, the compound formed is called a disaccharide.
Considering the give question:
Suppose a 0.1M solution of a monosaccharide contains 1000 monosaccharide molecules. How many monosaccharide molecules would be in a 0.1 M solution of a disaccharide.
The number of monosaccharides molecules present in the 0.1 M solution of a disaccharide is determined as follows:
1 disaccharide molecule contains 2 monosaccharide molecules
0.1M solution of a monosaccharide contains 1000 monosaccharide molecules.
0.1 M solution of a disaccharide will contain 2 * 1000 monosaccharide molecules
0.1 M solution of a disaccharide will contain = 2000 monosaccharide molecules.

In DNA methylation, the most frequently methylated nitrogenous base is the cytosine. Its methylation is widespread in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Its rate of DNA methylation differs greatly between different species like Arabidopsis thaliana which is 8%, Physarum, 4%, Mus musculus, 2.3%, and etc.
