Answer:

The options

A. It suggested that DNA is the

"transforming principle."

B. It confirmed that DNA is a double helix composed of two antiparallel strands.

C. It demonstrated that DNA consists of four nucleotides where the proportions of adenine/thymine and cytosine/guanine remain constant.

D. It proved that DNA is

semiconservative replication.

The CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. It suggested that DNA is the

"transforming principle."

Explanation:

A. It suggested that DNA is the

"transforming principle."✔

Griffith's experiments proved

that transformation can be seen in

pneumococcus, but gave no proof based on what molecular background the transformation was

WHILE, the Avery MacLeod-McCarty experiments proved that DNA was THE TRANSFORMING PRINCIPLE.

B. It confirmed that DNA is a double helix composed of two antiparallel strands.❌

These findings were established by James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin

C. It demonstrated that DNA consists of four nucleotides where the proportions of adenine/thymine and cytosine/guanine remain constant.❌

The findings was established by Erwin Chargaff.

D. It proved that DNA is semiconservative replication.❌

The findings was established by Matt Meselson and Franklin Stahl.

difference between structure and function. ( who ever writes the most gets brainliest AND NO PLAGIARISM.
Ber [7]

Explanation:

if you were trying to find the function of something it you would mainly think of roles, jobs, responsibilities, chores etc, where as if you were trying to find the structure it would be how something is made up or its form.

for example the srtucture of a plant, meaning its form or how it grew, its function depends on what type of plant, if it were just a regular plant or leaf, the stomata, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, chloroplasts, chlorophyll inside the chloroplasts, mitochondria, cytoplasm, would be requied to do their funtions i.e their jobs to keep the plant/leaf alive

Por qué en algunos países es de día mientras que en otros es de noche?
jek_recluse [69]
I'm not sure if you needed a translation or an answer but i'll give both:)

"Why is it that in some countries it is day while in others it is night"

because at different times of the day the sun hits different areas of the earth. I hope this helps!

Select the true statements about protein secondary structure.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

C.The β‑pleated sheet is held together by hydrogen bonds between adjacent segments.

Explanation:

Hello!

The most common secondary structures are α-helix and β-sheets. The structures are defined by regular hydrogen bonds formed between the N-H and C=O groups of the amino acids that form the chain. These structures form in segments of the protein as an intermediate before it folds into the 3D tertiary structure.

<u>α helix  </u>

It is a cylindrical structure that comprehends a helical backbone, while the side chains extend outward in a helical distribution. The α-helix stabilizes through hydrogen bonds between the amines and carbonyls groups of the backbone. Each carbonyl group forms a hydrogen bond with the amine group four residues later in the main chain. Thus, except for the amino acids near the end of the α-helix, all the carbonyls and amines groups in the main chain are linked by hydrogen bonds. Each residue corresponds to a translation of 1,5Ǻ and a turn of 100º this equals 3,6 residues per turn.

From the observer point of view, if the rotation of the helix is clockwise or right-handed, it's called dextrorotation and if the rotation is counterclockwise or left-handed it's called levorotation. Dexorotation or dextrogyre is the most common rotation of α-helixes in proteins. Levorotation or levogyre is very rare but can be found in proteins with a large content of achiral glycine.

<u>β-sheets (β-pleated sheets) </u>

This structure consists of at least two β-strands (polypeptide chains), the strands conform a backbone of three to ten amino acids in an extended formation that connects laterally with hydrogen bonds. The distance between adjacent amino acids in a β-strand is approximately 3,5Ǻ in contrast to the 1,5Ǻ distance of an α helix. The chains that form a β-sheet have directionality conferred by their N-terminus and C-terminus. Adjacent β-strands can form hydrogen bonds in antiparallel, parallel or mixed arrangements. In the antiparallel arrangement, the adjacent strands are said to have opposite directions (N-C vs C-N) this allows the bonds to be established between the amines and carbonyls groups of each amino acid with the carbonyls and amines of the adjacent amino acid. This way the bonds between carbonyls and amines are planar, which allows strong interstrand stability.

In the parallel arrangement, the adjacent strands have the same direction (N-C vs N-C). In this type of arrangement, each amine forms a hydrogen bond with the carbonyl of the adjacent amino acid, but its carbonyl group forms a hydrogen bond with the amine group of the amino acid two residues later.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

Nitrogen is important to life because it is part of _____. DNA, amino acids, and proteins plant photosynthesis the air we breath
Sever21 [200]

Well, nitrogen is the gas that makes up 78% of the earth's atmosphere. I would guess its in the air that we breathe. I am not really sure. Just basing this answer off of research.
