Well, to determine the type of sugar that is present and serves to play an important role in the overall structure and function of this particular nucleic acid is by the fact that the strand is single stranded, and not double stranded as in DNA. The only other commonly known Nucleic acid that is single stranded is RNA. Another clue or hint that points us in the direction to state that this a polynucleotide stranded molecule of RNA, is by the presence of the nitrogenous base, Uracil. DNA in place has thymine, uracil is only found on RNA, and is complementary to thymine, if used in transcription. Basically all of this information simply points to RNA, and the sugar contained in RNA would be ribose.

Ans.

DNA is a complex biomolecule, made up of multiple units of nucleotides. Each nucleotide represents a combination of a nitrogen base (either cytosine, thymine, guanine, or adenine), a 5-carbon, pentose sugar, and a phosphate molecule.

The sugar present in DNA is deoxyribose sugar, which shows presence of a hydrogen atom, instead of an hydroxyl group (-OH group).

Thus, the correct answer is option). deoxyribose.

From your genetics lab, Agrobacterium tumefaciens gram-positive bacterium was used during your experiment on genetic manipulation of a corn plant

Rhizobiaceae is a family of bacteria that includes Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Gram-negative and aerobically growing, these bacteria don't produce endospores. The cells have one to six peritrichous flagella and are rod-shaped and motile. Cells can exist alone or in pairs and range in size from 0.6 to 1.0 m by 1.5 to 3.0 m.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a gram-negative bacterium that causes tumors in plants through horizontal gene transfer. In a variety of plant species, Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been widely exploited as the primary agent in the generation of transgenic plants. A soil phytopathogen called Agrobacterium tumefaciens naturally infects plant wound sites and causes the disease known as crown gall by the transfer of (T)-DNA.

What items could you use to model a longitudinal and a transverse wave?
lora16 [44]

Answer: Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves. Examples of transverse waves include vibrations on a string and ripples on the surface of water. We can make a horizontal transverse wave by moving the slinky vertically up and down. In a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced parallel to the direction the wave travels. brainliest??

Which of the following best describes the function of the sympathetic nervous system?
DiKsa [7]

Answer;

B. It arouses the body and expends energy.

Explanation;

-The autonomic nervous system controls the insides of the body: the viscera or gut. It carries information about the inside of the body to the CNS and controls the action of internal organs. The autonomic nervous system has two divisions: the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.

-The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity and is often referred to as the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has almost the exact opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Outcome variable (dependent variable)

Explanation:

In a scientific investigation, a DEPENDENT VARIABLE (also known as outcome variable) is the variable that is being measured. The dependent variable, as the name implies, responds to the changes made to the independent variable.

For example, in an experiment where the effects of different concentration of fertilizer is used to test plant growth (height), the HEIGHT OF THE PLANTS is the dependent variable because it is the variable being measured.
