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.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL

Explanation:

Microorganisms are very small and difficult to count directly. Instead, a laboratory technique is used to count CFUs (Colony Formation Units). This involves making dilutions of a microbial suspension and spreading it on thin layers of agar containing nutrients for growth in Petri dishes also called agar plates. After incubation under ideal conditions, some plates are completely covered with microbial growth; some have little or no growth; and some are covered with individual isolated "spots", which are microbial colonies. Since a colony may consist of a single organism or a group of microbes, the dots represent a CFU.

To calculate the viable count of the stock culture, you have to count the number of colonies, multiply by the dilution and the result will be the plate count in CFU.

So, the equation is:

CFU/mL = Number of colonies / (Volume trasferred to plate x dilution blank)

100 microliters = 0.1 mililiter

1/10 = 0.1 (dilution factor)

Replacing the information from the question:

CFU/mL = 142 / (0.1 mL x 0.1)

CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL
