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

Biology

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)

Fungi release enzymes which in turn help in digesting external material. Then the fungi absorb that digested compound that is created by the enzyme. Plants normally make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. Plants take in water through the roots from the ground, absorb sunlight during the day and take in carbon dioxide from the air to make their nutrients. So plants are normally autotrophic in nature. Animals on the other hand consume plants as well as other animals to produce nutrients. So animals are mostly heterotrophic in nature.

When we make inferences about one population proportion, what assumptions do we need to make?.
arlik [135]

Answer:

It is necessary to make the following assumptions when making inferences about a group of people based on a sample of subjects drawn from that group:

  • Data is quantitative in nature.
  • A sample size of 30 or more is required.
  • The data set must consist of a simple random sample.
  • A Normal Distribution must be present in the data.

The data must come from a sample that isn't all the same size so that it can be generalized well.

The sample size must be at least 30 or more, according to the central limit theorem.

Mean and standard deviation are two examples of quantitative data from which statistical conclusions can be drawn.

To avoid bias, the sample size should be increased rather than the distribution skewed.
