Explain why the sequence of dna bases is just like a sequence

Biology
1 answer:
Westkost [7]3 years ago
3 0

DNA is nothing more than a sequence of bases (nucleotides) and since DNA is normally double stranded, they can be referred to as base pairs. One could best visualise it like a zipper: two connected strands (that can also be separated). DNA is made up of only four different bases, abbreviated as A, C, G and T. These always form the same pairs: A on one side of the zipper, T on the other side and the same goes for C and G. So, when unzipped, you always know the sequence of the opposite strand.

The sequence of base pairs that make up our DNA should be viewed like a bar code. Every set of three bases code for one building block of a protein. That's all that DNA is for: code for building proteins. A set of three bases is called a codon and tells machinery in the cell (ribosome) to add one specific building block to a forming protein. It's like Lego and DNA is the instructions that tell you which block to add next.

These different blocks give shape and function to the proteins it helps to build.

Tracheids, vessel elements, sieve-tube cells, and companion cells are components of ________.
allsm [11]

The correct answer is A. Vascular tissue

Explanation:

The vascular tissue refers to different cell types that form conduction structures in vascular plants and whose main function is to transport substances such as nutrients, water, and minerals that support functions in the plant including photosynthesis. The two main structures that are part of this are the xylem that transports from elements from the roots to the leaves and the phloem that transport substances from leaves to the roots. Additionally, the xylem is composed of cells called tracheids, vessel elements and the phloem is composed of sieve-tube cells and companion cells. Therefore, tracheids, vessel elements, etc are components of the Vascular tissue.
