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)

Which of the following is TRUE about this reaction?
hoa [83]

The right answer is C

This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).

Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.

Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).

NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.

inysia [295]
<h2>Simple Interest on a Loans - Option C</h2>

The simple interest on loans of $200 at 10 percent interest per year is $20 per year until the loan is paid off. Interest per year means the expense of interest that is charged for annum as a percentage of the value which is hired.

In order to calculate interest per year, multiply the principal basis for the rent by the interest per year then divide the value of interest per year by 12 (number of months in a year). Therefore, for simple interest on loans of 200 dollars at 10 percent interest per year, we calculate 20 dollars per year until the loan is paid off.
