<span>It's because the process is not as organized as we have learned it. We tend to think of intracellular reactions as they're supposed to work. Only thymine is supposed to bond to adenine. Only a specific type of ligand bonds to a certain receptor etc. this type of thinking leaves it hard to imagine what's actually going on. Imagine complete and utter chaos. Enzyme being hit by all the wrong and right molecules many many times per second. Molecules flying off in every which direction and hitting against anything and everything. When we learn about these reactions we tend to think it's ordered based on how specific things are. Not only is an enzyme/protein site made to fit only a specific molecule, it has to be the correct orientation. So even if the right molecules are in the right place hitting against the right enzyme does not mean it will attach, assuming it doesn't approach at the right angle.</span>

Explain the process of phosphorylation
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Phosphorylation is the process of adding a phosphate group to an existing molecule to prepare it to change or do work. ...

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

This technique is called in-vitro fertilization.

Explanation:

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to a form of assisted-reproduction technology in which the encounter of male and female gametes takes place outside the female organism (such as a human patient, in this case). IVF may be employed in several situations, including:

- Abnormalities in the female reproductive tract which impair the flow of the ovum into the uterine cavity (e.g. blocked fallopian tubes).

- Abnormally low sperm counts.

- Surrogate pregnancy.

Match the terms to their definition. 1. chromosome a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane 2. eukaryote a genetic charac
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1. chromosome: tight coils of DNA

2. Eukaryote: a cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus

3. Gene: a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that carry hereditary traits

4. Prokaryote: a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane

5. Trait: genetic characteristic of an individual

Explanation:

Chromosomes are the thread-like structures that appear during cell division. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled with its packing proteins.  

A cell is defined as eukaryote or prokaryote on the basis of the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus. The cells that lack the membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles are called prokaryotic cells. Example: bacteria.

The cells that have a membrane bound nucleus in which DNA is present are called eukaryotic cells. Example: Plant cells.

A stretch of DNA that code for a particular protein and thereby regulate specific genetic trait is called a gene. Genes are present on chromosomes and are carried from one generation to next to maintain the genetic traits.

The features of living beings regulated by the gene are called trait. Example: skin color, eye color, etc.

How might the diet of a person living on a rocky seacoast differ from someone living on a rich-soiled prairie?
Ivanshal [37]

The prairies are ecosystems where the grasses, herbs, and shrubs are the dominant vegetation type. It is one of the most intensive crop producing areas with highly valued productive soils. The diet of the people who lived there would be based on corn wheat, rice, soybeans, bean, peas, etc.

On the other hand, people who live on rocky seacost will most likely consume seafood such as mussels and barnacles.

aleksley [76]

The answer is ‘suspect iii has 900 bp and 260 bp sized DNA fragments’

Forensic science utilizes particular sequences of DNA that are unique to people and are cut differently by restriction enzymes. These  techniques are referred to as Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and the Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Analysis. In this case, there is an exact match on the crime sample and that of the suspect.
