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

Biology
1 answer:
miss Akunina [59]2 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)

How does the greenhouse effect influence the climate on earth? choose the best possible answer.
Arturiano [62]

The greenhouse effect influences climate by increasing the global temperature.

<h3>What is greenhouse effect?</h3>

The greenhouse effects are effects due to the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The greenhouse gases form a layer of gas in the atmosphere and prevent reflected solar radiation from escaping back into space. They, therefore, warm up the atmosphere by increasing the thermal energy.

As the concentration of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases, so also is the amount of reflected solar radiation that is trapped in the atmosphere.

Therefore, an increase in greenhouse gas concentration increases the global temperature. Temperature influences other climatic factors such as precipitation.

Thus, the greenhouse effects influence climate by causing a rise in global temperature.
