You have been assigned a DNA stretch. What is the complementary strand when you replicate the template

Biology
1 answer:
miss Akunina [59]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The complementary strands of a DNA are read in the opposite direction to one another

Explanation:

A DNA strand/stretch can be represented with a number of bases. The bases in a DNA strand are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). The Adenine can bind to Thymine (and vice-versa) while the Guanine can bind to Cytosine (and vice versa). These bonded bases are called "base pairs".

<u>Complementary DNA strands are read in opposite direction to one another. </u>Each end of a DNA strand is either a 5' end or a 3' end. Hence, if one strand runs from the 5' to 3' end, the complementary strand will run from the 3' to 5'. Thus, they are represented "on paper" the way they run.

For example,

If the DNA strand assigned is AGTCTAG running 5' to 3', the <u>complementary strand</u> will be CTAGACT (starting from the 3' end) and NOT TCAGATC (which starts from the 5' end)

Suppose you have monohybrid snapdragons in your garden and you find that they produce red seeds to white seeds in the ratio 3:1.
Simora [160]

The phenotype of the parents will be all red.

The monohybrid snapdragons are generating red and white seeds in the ratio 3: 1 with the white (r) phenotype being recessive and the red (R) phenotype being dominant. Thus, they would possibly have the parents exhibiting genotypes, Rr and Rr, that is, both red.

The gametes generated by these parents are R and r. The cross of these parents will lead to the formation of the following generation shown in the cross below, that is, in the ratio 3: 1 (red: white).

The group of enzymes able to relax supercoils in dna is called
LuckyWell [14K]
TOPOISOMERASE

There are various function of DNA toposisomerase such as:

1.accessing DNA- this happens during transcription and replication, DNA must be unwound for this to happen, Topoisomerase I make a single break to create an access.

2. Removing DNA super coils- Topoisomerase prevents DNA to be supercoiled, this happens during transcription of DNA to RNA

3. Strand breakage- It can introduce single strand breaks that are required for DNA to be exchanged to adjacent chromosomes.
