What protein is responsible for the initial step in unwinding the DNA helix during replication of the bacterial chromosome?

Biology

Answer:

Proteins play a fundamental role for life and are the most versatile and diverse biomolecules. They are essential for the growth of the organism and perform a huge amount of different functions.

The passage of DNA to proteins begins with the step of transforming genetic information into an intermediary between DNA and protein. This intermediary is called messenger RNA (mRNA). The difference between DNA and mRNA is that the second corresponds to a very small fraction of all DNA, consists of a single chain (it is no longer a “zipper” but a strand), and that Thymine (T) is replaced by the Uracil (U). This fraction corresponds to the stretch of DNA that contains the sequence necessary to ultimately synthesize the protein.

Answer:

DnaA

Explanation:

For double stranded DNA, the DNA has to first be unwound before the replication process of the bacterial chromosome.

The protein that is responsible for the initial step of the unwinding process is known as DnaA.

The DnaA is a the replication initiation factor that accumulates during growth and promotes unwinding at the OriC.

OriC is a single origin of replication where the process is initiated.

Which of the following is NOT a component of a nucleotide?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The above answer given is incorrect. Nucleotides consist of a phosphate group attached to a pentose sugar, with 5 carbons,  (deoxyribose sugar in the case of DNA) and the pentose sugar is also attached to a nitrogenous base. DNA is incorrect as nucleotides are the building block of DNA hence DNA is NOT a component of nucleotides.

The drug colchicine inhibits the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis. If you treat dividing plant cells with colchicine,
vekshin1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

During metaphase of cell division, the chromosomes line up in the metaphase plate and the spindle fibers from the poles extend and attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. The spindle then contracts and pull different chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell before the parent cell divides.   If spindle fibers do not form, then the chromosomes will not separate during anaphase.

Therefore, the final cell after mitosis will be a cell with double the number of chromosomes -because if you remember, during interphase, genetic material is replicated so each daughter cell can have its copy-. Due to quality control in the process of cell divisison, this cell will mostly undergo apoptosis, otherwise, it could develop into cancer.
