The strongly acidic nature of DNA poses a problem. Why do Watson and Crick think that the DNA "dyad", formed by hybridization of

two negatively charged molecules, is stable?

Answer:

Negatively charged phosphate groups of two strands are aligned distantly from each other in a DNA double helix.

Explanation:

DNA double helix is formed when the complementary bases of two single DNA strands pair with each other. The formation of double-stranded structures places the negatively charged phosphate groups of two single DNA strands away from each other. This is because complementary base pairs are present between the sugar-phosphate backbones of two DNA strands of a double helix. The double-helical structure also concentrates the nitrogenous bases away from the surrounding watery medium. Altogether, these factors stabilize DNA dyad.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E. "nucleotides can only be added to an available 3'-OH group on the transcript terminus".

Explanation:

RNA synthesis is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. RNA polymerase always catalyze the synthesis of new RNA from 5' to 3' because nucleotides can only be added to an available 3'-OH group on the transcript terminus. This has been confirmed in labeling experiments with γ-32P substrates which establish the presence of a triphosphate moiety in transcripts with either pppG or pppA.

A population of trout in a lake has significantly declined over the past year. The main source of food for the fish in this lake
andrew11 [14]

The decline in the overall population of trout and larger fish is because the Insect population has decreased.

<h3>What is a population?</h3>

A population is a group of organisms of the same species living in the same habitat.

Population of organisms is affected by;

  • availability of water
  • space
  • food and nutrients
  • predators
  • climate change

Since the population of trout is directly affected by the number of insect species, the decline in the overall population is because the Insect population has decreased.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Half would have the genotype Aa.

Explanation:

Given that the genotype of both of the parents was "Aa"; both parents would make two types of gametes. The 50% gametes from each parent would carry allele "A" while the rest 50% gametes from each parent would carry allele "a".

The random fusion of gametes of two parents would give the progeny with genotype ratio 1/4 AA: 1/2 Aa: 1/4 aa.
