7 0

Answer:

It means that one strand of DNA is in 5'-3' orientation is complementary to   other that is in 3'-5' orientation

Explanation:

Two strands in DNA double helix are in opposite directions alongside each other and that is called antiparallel orientation.

The 5' end of nucleic acid refers to  phosphoryl end (phosphate group) while 3' end refers to hydroxyl (OH) group.

The property of anti-parallelism is important for the process of DNA replication.

What is the difference between the life cycle of ferns and the life cycle of humans?
Bond [772]
Ferns make their own food. They grow and reproduce using spores instead of things like seeds. Humans on the other hand have to ingest food from their surrounding and when mature reproduce sexually. They can also choose if they want to reproduce or not while ferns don't have that option. Sexual reproduction is based on inseminating and egg cell, while ferns don't worry about this because the spores just fall on the ground.

​rich sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in ____. ​lamb ​sunflower oil ​milk ​egg yolk ​fish eggs
mihalych1998 [28]
Fatty acids are mostly composed of chains of carbon and hydrogen. Fatty acids without double bonds are "saturated" with hydrogen. When a fatty acid has one double bond, hydrogen is released therefore the fatty acid is "monounsaturated". When a fatty acid has two or more double bonds, then the fatty acid is "polyunsaturated". Unsaturated fatty acids are usually takes in the form of oils as they are liquid in room temperature (in contrast to saturated fatty acids which are solid in room temperature). Unsaturated fatty acids are usually found in plant based fats such as oils. Therefore the answer to this question is sunflower oil.
