Answer:

Earth's surface didn't look much different. With few exceptions.

The global climate is cooler and drier, and seasonal, similar to modern climates. As the climate began to cool down grasslands continued to expand and forests started to dwindle in extent. In the seas, kelp forests made their first appearance and soon became one of Earth's most productive ecosystems. Water from the Atlantic Ocean poured in through the Strait of Gibraltar to deluge the Mediterranean Basin. The event is called the Zanclean flood. Parts of of southern Norway and southern Sweden that had been near sea level rose to form the Hardangervidda plateau and the South Swedish highlands.

Shorty after, the glaciations, uplift of the Rocky mountains and Panama seaway closure began to reshape the Earth.

What happens in meiosis I and II

rusak2 [61]

Answer: Both Meiosis I and II have the same number and arrangement of phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Both produce two daughter cells from each parent cell. However, Meiosis I begins with one diploid parent cell and ends with two haploid daughter cells, halving the number of chromosomes in each cell.

A segment of a DNA molecule has the base sequence ATGAAC. Write a shorthand structure for this segment and for its complementary

Zanzabum

Answer: See attached picture.

Explanation:

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the name for the molecule that contains the genetic information in all living things. This molecule consists of two strands that wind around each other to form a double helix structure.

The basic unit of nucleic acids are called nucleotides, which are organic molecules formed by the covalent bonding of a nucleoside (a pentose which is a type of sugar and a nitrogenous base) and a phosphate group. So each nucleotide is made up of a pentose sugar called deoxyribose, a nitrogenous base which can be adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) or guanine (G) and a phosphate group.

<u>What distinguishes one polynucleotide from another is the nitrogenous base</u>, and thus the sequence of DNA is specified by naming only the sequence of its bases. The sequential arrangement of these four bases along the chain is what encodes the genetic information, following the following criterion of complementarity: A-T and G-C. So the sequence of these bases along the chain is what encodes the instructions for forming proteins and RNA molecules. In living organisms, DNA occurs as a double strand of nucleotides, in which the two strands are linked together by connections called hydrogen bridges.

The chemical convention of naming the carbon atoms in the pentose nucleotide pentose numerically confers the names 5' end and 3' end ("five prime end" and "three prime end" respectively). The 5'-end designates the end of a DNA strand that coincides with the phosphate group of the fifth carbon of the respective terminal deoxyribose. A phosphate group attached to the 5'-end allows the ligation of two nucleotides; for example, the covalent bonding of the 5'-phosphate group to the 3'-hydroxyl group of another nucleotide, to form a phosphodiester bond.
