Q2.1 - Hydrogen bonds can form with bases on the opposite DNA strands in the double helix, or between the bases and H2O in the s

ingle stranded conformation. Considering that the double helix is the most stable conformation in water, how does this observation support the conclusion that base stacking contributes more to helix stability than interbase hydrogen bonding

Answer:

Explanation:

In the  structure of  Nucleic acids the nucleobases (nucleotide and bases) are arranged is  a specific  form.This form of arrangement is called Base stacking.It simply refers to the bond formed between the adjacent bases.

These nitrogenous bases of (A,T,C.G) pairing  in DNA are in planes in geometry.The bases planes stack  with one another.This form of arrangement  give rooms for more Van der Waals interactions in the plane of the bases.Although the Van der Waals are weak interactions,the bond ensure that these bases are braided or twisted together to give maximum energy,to maintain stability of the bases,and therefore of DNA structure

Therefore in water  and other aqueous solution the stability of  structure of DNA is enhanced by the base stacking,(coiling or twisting)with maximum van der waals interaction  among the bases, than the hydrogen  bonds formed between bases.Generally there are more stacking among G-C,than A-T,thus the former pairing contribute more the structural stability than the latter (A-T)

According to Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, what four factors affect evolution? Explain how each factor affects evolution.
Kryger [21]

The 4 factors affect evolution, according to Darwin’s Origin of Species are;

Variation

Heritability

Competition

Differential survival

Variation ensures that there is variability of population traits on which selection pressures will apply.

Heritability means that the traits must be able to be passed down to offsprings through gametes.

Competition occurs when the individuals in the population compete for limited resources

Differential survival occurs due to competition for resources and other selection pressures. This result to the survival of the strongest and weeding out of the weak from the population.

<h2>Production of mitochondrion DNA  </h2>

Explanation:

  • The cell is not capable to complete reaction related to ATP production and electron transport.
  • This is because the electron transport chain and ATP production are combined with the association of protein in the inner membrane of mitochondrion DNA.
  • Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. In all eukaryotes that don't rely upon photosynthesis, the mitochondria are the primary wellspring of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the vitality rich intensify that drives central cell capacities.
  • These capacities incorporate power age (for instance, in muscle compression and cell division), the biosynthesis, collapsing and debasement of proteins, and the generation and control of membrane possibilities.

What are two reasons for why a species might disappear from the fossil record?
postnew [5]
1. One reason is extinctions happen because of some kind of change in the environment where a life form lives. While some species can adapt to the changes, others die, and if enough die, the species becomes extinct. These are some of the biggest factors in the extinctions of particular species. 2. Contaminants in the environment, such as pesticides.
