Which statement about RNA is not true? Uracil is found in RNA as one of the two pyrimidine nitrogenous bases. RNA possesses cata

lytic activity, which earned it the name "ribozyme." RNA is thought to have dominated early life on earth, serving as both genetic information and as a catalyst. RNA is a more stable molecule than DNA. RNA typically consists of a single polynucleotide strand with distinct secondary structures.

Answer:

RNA is a more stable molecule than DNA

Explanation:

This is a false statement. DNA is far more stable than RNA.

This is  because of  the stability provided by the presence of double helix  strands held by  hydrogen bonds holding the purine and pyrimidine bases  is shape,which releases free energy for   thermodynamic  stability.

it is also stable because of the  interaction of the  hydrogen bonds with the surrounding  water molecules in the  cells.

The presence of Thymine instead of Uracil in DNA is additional factor to DNA stability, because Thymine has resistance to photochemical mutations compare to U in RNA. Thus  genetic code encoded in DNA molecule  is more stable against mutation  compare to RNA.

Furthermore, the phosphodiester  bonds holding the alternate backbone of phosphate and sugar further provided needed stability.

RNA is made up of single strands, made up of Uracil base  of low resistance to photochemical mutations, OH-groups in position 2 of its ribose sugar which makes it to easily hydrolysed in alkaline solution. These factors makes it less stable compare to DNA.

Answer: RNA is a more stable molecule than DNA

Explanation: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is much stable than RNA (ribonucleic acid) for many reasons; Frist of all its because of the double strand of the DNA versus the single-stranded RNA. This is thanks to the Hydrogen bonding between bases since those bondings release free energy that allows the molecule to be provided by more thermodynamic stability.

Also the lack of 2′ OH groups makes DNA more stable since the OH groups are very reactive by themselves. In the DNA sugar molecule there is not a spare OH group that could start reacting on its own. So this is why DNA is immune to chemical reactions, while RNA (having an extra OH group) is more chemically "promiscuous".

In genetics, what does a genotype of Hh signify?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

In genetics, Hh means a heterozygote.

Explanation:

Usually, in genetics, H would be the dominant, and h would be the recessive trait. HH is usually dominant, and hh would be recessive. So, Hh would mean a heterozygote. In a heterozygote, this would mean that the recessive trait is in the genotype, but the dominant trait would still take over. This also means that sometimes, the recessive trait can be shown along with the dominant. This can be possible through co-dominance, and incomplete dominance. Hope this helps!

Im not sure but i did find this answer: patient is most likely to be suffering from diabetic nephropathy.

Explanation:

Three major histological changes occur in the glomeruli of pateints with diabetic nephropathy. First, mesangial expansion is directly induced by hyperglycaemia, possibly through increased matrix production or glycation of matrix proteins. Second, thickening of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Third, glomerular sclerosis is caused by intraglomerular hypertension (brought by dilatation of the afferent renal artery or from ischemic injury induced by hyaline narrowing of the vessels supplying the glomeruli).  The important change in diabetic glomerulopathy is increase of extracellular matrix. The earliest morphological anomaly in diabetic nephropathy is the thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and expansion of the mesangium due to the accumulation of extracellular matrix.

The diagram shows a thermometer used to measure temperature.
Masteriza [31]

The question was incomplete as the diagram was missing, however, the correct diagram is attached with the answer -

Answer:

The correct answer is - scale

Explanation:

The thermometer used to measure temperature by comparison of the object or the parameter of the temperature to measure, with a calibrated pattern that is called scale.

A Thermometer has two scales on both left and right side: degrees Celsius on the left and degrees Fahrenheit on the right.

As given in diagram label with "A'' in a circle on the left side is The degrees of the scale.
