<span>Two of the nitrogenous bases present in DNA (Guanine and Adenine) contain two rings and thus are much larger than the other two (Cytosine and Thymine), which have only one. Nitrogenous bases with two rings (such as G and A) are known as PURINES, whereas nitrogenous bases with a single ring (such as C and T) are known as PYRIMIDINES. A stable DNA structure is formed ONLY when the two strands are a constant distance apart which ONLY happens when a PURINE (G or A) on one strand is paired with a PYRIMIDINE (C or T) on the other strand. The strands would have to move much further apart to permit a purine to pair with another purine and would have to move much closer together to permit a pyrimidine to pair with a pyrimidine.

bulgar [2K]
<span>The battery which Ryan kept in fridge, assuming it was well protected from any moisture or water, it would tend to play the CD longer than the one stored in a desk drawer. This is because storing batteries in a cool dry location while protected from any moisture or water, can help to prolong shelf life. This is due to the fact that low temperatures tends to slow down the electric current flow within the electrolyte fluid inside the battery, hence, the rate of power dissipation is reduced thus slowing down of the power drain from battery by the electric current flow . Thus, the battery stored in the fridge tends to have lost less power, if any, compared to the one stored in a desk drawer.</span>

Why are telomeres problematic for eukaryotic chromosome replication? a) They are highly repetitive and thus hard to replicate co
Natalka [10]

Answer: Option E

Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Explanation:

Telomere refers to either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome.

Usually, in eukaryote chromosome replication, telomeres are not replicated.

Hence, they are usually lost resulting in the shortening of the telomere ends after repeated cycle of cell division. This also leads to cell aging and stoppage of cell division.

The shortening of telomere combined with stoppage of cell division, and cell aging initiation prevent CANCER, which thrives on lengthy telomeres

What is meant by the term “essential” amino acids, what is essential about them? Put in your own words
sergey [27]
Amino acids make up proteins, and proteins are needed for proper growth in humans. They’re essential because, without them we wouldn’t have the nutrients we need to survive. I hope this helped!
