What role does DNA play in the production of a protein?

Chemistry

Explanation:

The coiling up of DNA with the help of histone proteins - to what is called heterochromatic regions- is part of gene regulation. This makes genes inaccessible to RNA polymerase that makes mRNA from the genes. When the genes are exposed by DNA unwinding, these genes are transcribed and the resulting mRNAs are translated by ribosomes into proteins.

The DNA never unwinds completely, but rather does so region by region, because if it does so it would become so long that it wouldn't fit in the nucleus or cell.

I need help with 1,2,3, and 4

Schach [20]

Answer:

Problem 1: 1.85atm

Problem 2: 110mL

Problem 3: 290 mL

Problem 4: 1.14 atm

Explanation:

Problem 1

1. Data

a) P₁ = 3.25atm

b) V₁ = 755mL

c) P₂ = ?

d) V₂ = 1325 mL

r) T = 65ºC

2. Formula

Since the temeperature is constant you can use Boyle's law for idial gases:

$PV=constant\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

3. Solution

Solve, substitute and compute:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\P_2=P_1V_1/V_2$

$P_2=3.25atm\times755mL/1325mL=1.85atm$

Problem 2

1. Data

a) V₁ = 125 mL

b) P₁ = 548mmHg

c) P₁ = 625mmHg

d) V₂ = ?

2. Formula

You assume that the temperature does not change, and then can use Boyl'es law again.

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

3. Solution

This time, solve for V₂:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\V_2=P_1V_1/P_2$

Substitute and compute:

$V_2=548mmHg\times 125mL/625mmHg=109.6mL$

You must round to 3 significant figures:

$V_2=110mL$

Problem 3

1. Data

a) V₁ = 285mL

b) T₁ = 25ºC

c) V₂ = ?

d) T₂ = 35ºC

2. Formula

At constant pressure, Charle's law states that volume and temperature are inversely related:

$V/T=constant\\\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

The temperatures must be in absolute scale.

3. Solution

a) Convert the temperatures to kelvins:

T₁ = 25 + 273.15K = 298.15K

T₂ = 35 + 273.15K = 308.15K

b) Substitute in the formula, solve for V₂, and compute:

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1`}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\\\\\dfrac{285mL}{298.15K}=\dfrac{V_2}{308.15K}\\\\\\V_2=308.15K\times285mL/298.15K=294.6ml$

You must round to two significant figures: 290 ml

Problem 4

1. Data

a) P = 865mmHg

b) Convert to atm

2. Formula

You must use a conversion factor.

1 atm = 760 mmHg

Divide both sides by 760 mmHg

$\dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}=\dfrac{760mmHg}{760mmHg}\\\\\\1=\dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}$

3. Solution

Multiply 865 mmHg by the conversion factor:

$865mmHg\times \dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}=1.14atm\leftarrow answer$

Flura [38]

Answer:

Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically. Insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve.

Which of the following is the best example of potential energy?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

A car stopped at the top of a hill

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.

therefore, the answer is the first option

=> A car stopped at the top of a hill
