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

Chemistry
1 answer:
klemol [59]3 years ago
5 0

A

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.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Storage battery oe cell

Explanation:

The storage battery or cell is a device that coverts chemical energy into light energy when required.

During charging of battery, there is some chemical changes in the battery and absorb energy. The absorbed energy is converted into electrical energy when connected to an external load.

Hence, the correct answer is "Storage battery or cell".

Describe the day of June 21 at the North Pole in terms of daylight and darkness <br> ( science )
frosja888 [35]
On June 21, as seen from the North pole ...

-- the sun has been up, and it's been light outside,
for the past three months ... ever since March 21 . 

-- The sun won't set, and it won't be dark outside,
for another three months ... until September 21.

-- Here at the North pole, it stays daylight for six months straight.
Today, on June 21, we're exactly halfway through the period of
continuous daylight.

How many atoms are in 13.97 liters of water vapor at STP
Arisa [49]
<span>Let's </span>assume that water vapor has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>

</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa (standard pressure)
V = 13.97 L = 13.97 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
n = ?
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 0 °C = 273 K (standard temperature)
<span>
By substitution,
</span>101325 Pa x 13.97x 10</span>⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 273 K<span>
                                          n = 0.624 mol
<span>
Hence, the moles of water vapor at STP is 0.624 mol.

According to the </span></span>Avogadro's constant, 1 mole of substance has 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
<span>
Hence, number of atoms in water vapor = 0.624 mol x </span>6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
<span>                                                                = 3.758 x 10</span>²³<span>

</span>

How does the volume of water change the solubility of sodium chloride in simple words?
kupik [55]

Answer:

When sodium chloride dissolves in water to make a saturated solution there is a 2.5 per cent reduction in volume. ... The solubility of salt does not change much with temperature, so there is little profit in using hot water.
