Hairpins often form at palindromic sequences in single strands of either RNA or DNA. However, several key features differentiate

the helical structure of an RNA and a DNA hairpin. Select the statements that describe the helical structure of an RNA hairpin.
A) The hairpin adopts a right-handed helix with a diameter of 20 Å .

B) The pentose in the hairpin adopts only the C-3\' endo pucker conformation.

C) The hairpin adopts a right-handed helix with a diameter of 26 Å .

D) The hairpin contains G:C, A:U, and sometimes G:U base pairs.

E) The pentose in the hairpin adopts either the C-2\' or the C-3\' endo pucker conformation.

Answer:

Explanation:

B) The pentose in the hairpin adopts only the C-3\' endo pucker conformation.

C) The hairpin adopts a right-handed helix with a diameter of 26 Å .

D) The hairpin contains G:C, A:U, and sometimes G:U base pairs.

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids. Aside the structural difference of DNA being double stranded and RNA being single stranded, in DNA, the nucleotide bases adenine (A) is paired with thymine (T); while cytosine (C) is paired with guanine (G); howerver in RNA, thymine is replaced with uracil.; thus in RNA, the base pairs are - A:U and G:C

RNA however sometimes take on a dynamic structure, called the wobble case pair where guanine and uracil pair - G:U.

The diameter of RNA is 26 Å, while that of DNA is is 20 Å

The ribose in RNA with a helical structure has a C3’ endo conformation.

evidence of the endosymbiosis theory was found in the : nucleus and cytoplasms, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, mitochon
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Mitochondria and chloroplasts

Explanation:

These two organelles support the theory in that both have 70S ribosomes, the presence of a circular DNA within, and similar size. They can undergo division within the eukaryotic cyptoplasm. Both of these organelles are surrounded by a double membrane, which in the case of chloroplast is known to originate from ancient bacteria that lost its peptidoglycan component. Mitochondria and chloroplast both evolved from ancient free living bacteria that entered into larger cells, which in the case of mitochondria is known to be archaea and in the case of chloroplast is a eukaryotic cell. With this, these cells became dependent on it in a manner that it could not exist without it.

What are somethings that cause mutations in cancer
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

mutations cause most cases of cancer. Some acquired mutations can be caused by things that we are exposed to in our environment, including cigarette smoke, radiation, hormones, and diet. Other mutations have no clear cause, and seem to occur randomly as the cells divide.
