Answer:

1. replication

2. gene

3. strand polarity

4. translation

5. complementary base pairing

6. chromosome

7. antiparallel

8. transcription

9. allele

Explanation:

1. Replication is the process by which DNA is duplicated or the process of making another copy of DNA.

2. Gene is the physical unit of heredity i.e a segment of DNA transferred from parents to offsprings. A gene also encodes a useful products such as protein.

3. A DNA strand is a polar molecule, which is attributed to the phosphate group at the 5'-end of DNA and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA.

4. Translation is the process whereby the information in a mRNA molecule is used to synthesize a protein.

5. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby Adenine (A) binds to thymine (T), guanine (G) binds to cytosine (C).

6. A chromosome contains of single long molecule of DNA coiled together around histone proteins. The chromosome is associated with different types of proteins.

7. In the double-stranded DNA molecule, one strand runs from 5' to 3' and the other runs from 3' to 5'. This is called ANTIPARALLEL nature of DNA.

8. Transcription is the process by which a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA single strand.

9. Allele is the alternative or contrasting form of a gene. Each allele is contributed by each parent

How many calories are in an average trick-or-treaters halloween stash?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The number of calories on a Halloween stash depends on the type of candies and the number of units of each. If the stash contains 5 units of each of these candies: chocolate bars, taffies, lollypops, and candy corn the total number of calories is 1,650.

Calories are the most common unit used to define the energy a specific food gives to your body. For example, an apple has 52 calories, while a banana has 89 calories.

Considering this, in a Halloween stash the calories depend on two factors:

  • The types of candies or products
  • The units of each one

Let's suppose there are 5 units of each of the following candies:

  • Chocolate bars
  • Taffies
  • Lollypops
  • Candy corn

Let's now calculate the calories

  • Chocolate bars = 220 calories x 5 units =  1,100 calories
  • Taffies = 20 calories x 5 units = 100 calories
  • Lollypops = 83 calories x 5 units = 415 calories
  • Candy corn = 7 calories x 5 = 35 calories

Add all the previous results:

1,100 + 100 + 415 + 35 = 1,650 calories in total

klemol [59]

Answer:

B. nuclease (destroys DNA and RNA)

Explanation:

Viruses are the particles that contain a protein coat called the capsid. Inside the capsid, viruses have their genetic material. Viruses may have single-stranded or double-stranded DNA molecules or single-stranded or double-stranded RNA molecules as their genetic material. Therefore, to destroy viruses, one must target their genetic material. Nucleases are enzymes that digest nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The use of nucleases would destroy the genetic material of viruses and would be most effective to control them.
