If I have 8 DNA nucleotides, how many DNA bases do I have?

Each nucleotide contains one nitrogenous base; hence, 8 nucleotides will have 8 bases.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are the primary structural building block of a DNA molecule.  

A nucleotide is a polymer compound comprising of a nitrogenous base attached to a pentose sugar group and a phosphate group attached by chemical bonds.

In a DNA double helix strand, the outer framework is constituted by the sugar and phosphate molecules while the bases form the inner or the rungs of helix.

The nitrogenous bases stores the information that carries the required trait or phenotype to be formed in an organism.

There are two main groups of nitrogenous bases - purine (like adenine, guanine) and pyramidine (thymine, cytosine) bases, and one from each group is joined while pairing.

On a single double helix DNA strand, there are two pairs of DNA nitrogenous bases. So, 8 DNA bases will have 4 pairs of bases or 8 single bases.

The answers to the questions required for the design experiment above are :

  • If shark attack are related to the number of elephant seals in an area, then shark attack will increase as the number of elephant seal increases

  • If shark attack are unrelated to number of elephant seal in an area, then shark attack is unaffected by increase or decrease in number of elephant seal.

  • The Control Group : Beaches or areas where elephant seals aren't present or period of the year when there are no elephant seal at the beach.

  • The Experimental group : Beaches where varibale portions of elephant seals are found (area with high, medium or low).

  • The Dependent variable : Number of shark attacks

  • The Independent variable : The different number of elephant seals found.

  • Data to be collected include : The number and type of elephant seals found at various beaches and the number of shark attacks recorded at the various points.

  • John will be able to deduce if the number of elephant seals and number of shark attacks recorded corded are related.

The hypothesis of an experiment is a proposition which requires experimental testing in other to establish it's validity.

The Control Group refers to a portion of the subject which aren't given or exposed to the treatment used in an experiment.

The Experimental group are the portion of the subjects which are subjected to the treatment condition.

The Dependent variable is the measured variable is changes as the independent variables are tweaked.

Independent variable is the predictor variable, it causes a change in the output of the dependent variable.

The baglike structure that contains a clear fluid in which the developing embryo floats is called the Amnion.

<h3>What is an Amnion?</h3>

The membrane that  covers the embryos of reptiles, birds, and the mammals when first formed is called Amnion.

It contains amniotic fluid, which serves as an amniotic sac that provides a protective shield for the developing embryo. Together with the amnion, contains the

  • chorion
  • the yolk sac
  • allantois

with different functions to  protect the embryo.

The amniotic sac in humans is enclosed in the uterus while for birds, reptiles ,it is enclosed in a shell.
