Why does it make sense to have weak bonds holding one strand to the other but strong bonds everywhere else

Biology
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and Explanation:

In the DNA molecule, that is formed by two strands of nucleotides, makes sense that each nucleotide is strongly bond to one another while the strands have weaker bonds, for one particular reason.

The double-stranded nature of the DNA is a key element in its correct functioning. <u>When the DNA needs to be "unzipped" for certain processes such as replication and transcription, the weak hydrogen bonds that connect the two strands are broken</u>. If the bonds between the strands were stronger, much more energy would be needed to perform the processes mentioned before, and that wouldn't be beneficial for the cells.

If you were looking at epithelial tissue in an are of the body where exchange of gases takes place, would you expect to see simp
raketka [301]
<span>An example of an epithelial tissue where gases are exchanged is alveolar epithelium, which can be found in the lungs. This tissue is simple epithelial tissue. This is to be expected because the cell layer needs to be thin enough for the gasses like carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse or pass through. Stratified epithelial tissue contains several cell layers that would impair the exchange of gasses.</span>

In a farming accident last year, kevin injured his right cerebral hemisphere. this injury may impair kevin's ability to:
Crank
The injury to Kevin’s right cerebral hemisphere could affect the strength and movement on the left side of his body, as the right half of the brain controls the left side and vice versa. Reasoning, attention, perception, social communication and memory are also controlled by the right side of the brain and these functions could also be impaired from an injury to his right cerebral hemisphere.
