Answer:

Hello!

Here are the definitions:

  1. DNA: The genetic carrier in living organisms that contains all the information required for the growth and development of an organism.  
  2. Synthesis: The creation of something, production of compounds in living  things .
  3. Adenine: A purine (double ringed) nucleobase found in DNA and RNA.
  4. Guanine: Occurs in both DNA and RNA, a purine (double ringed) nucleobase .
  5. Cytosine: Single ringed, 6-carbon, nitrogen containing,  pyrimidine nucleobase that exists in both DNA and RNA.
  6. Thiamine: Single ringed, 6-carbon, nitrogen containing , pyrimidine nucleobase that exists in DNA only.
  7. Enzyme: A complex, globular protein that helps in  catalyzing chemical reactions in the body.
  8. Helicase (Unzipper): An enzyme involved in DNA  replication that unzips the DNA double helix by breaking  hydrogen bonds between the nucleobases.
  9. DNA Polymerase (Builder): An enzyme that polymerizes  nucleobases and extends RNA primers into complete  DNA strands.
  10. Primase (Preparer for building): An enzyme that  prepares the RNA primer required by DNA polymerase for  forming DNA starnds.
  11. Ligase (Gluing enzyme): An enzyme that glues different  fragments of DNA and RNA together.
  12. DNA Replication: The process by which DNA makes a  copy of itself through the use of DNA replication  enzymes.
  13. Origin: The origin or origin of replication is the point on the DNA where replication starts. This part of DNA basically contains sites that the replication enzymes can recognize.
  14. Double Helix: A term that describes the structure of DNA that consists of two linear, antiparallel DNA strands that twist around each other, giving the appearance of a twisted ladder.
  15. Antiparallel: A term used to describe the direction of DNA strands in a double helix. It means that the two strands run parallel to each other but in opposite directions.
  16. 3' (3 prime): The sugar phosphate backbone of DNA contains phosphate groups bonded to 3' and 5' carbon atoms of the ribose. The end of the sugar phosphate backbone that contains the free hydroxyl (OH-) end is called the 3' end.
  17. 5' (5 prime):  The end of the backbone that contains a free 5' phosphate is called the 5' end.
  18. Semiconservative Replication: A mechanism of DNA replication that generates two copies of a single double helix in which one strand comes from the template and one is newly synthesized.

qaws [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the most likely reason for this misconception would be that the spiral galaxies looked like clouds of gas and dust through telescopes because of their distance from Earth. During that time telescopes were still not as advanced and could only see so much, nowadays they are much more advanced and these galaxies are being analyzed and understood more clearly.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A) Power plant

Explanation:

The key to understanding this question, is first knowing what "stationary" means. When something is stationary, it doesn't move, it just stays in one place.

Since power plants are buildings, they naturally don't move. On the other hand, the other choices are all vehicles that are intended to move. So while all of these options do cause air pollution, the power plant is the only one that is stationary.

I hope this answer helps you :)

The image below represents two waves X and Y, traveling to the same medium at the same speed how are the two waves different?
lyudmila [28]

Answer: D is right

Explanation:   It seems both waves have same wavelength.

Because speed = wavelength · frequency  (v = λf)  and

f = v/λ, so frequency is same.  Because period T = 1/ frequency, also periods are same.  Wave Y has higher amplidude and its energy is greater.
