Answer:

Active transport

Explanation:

The pumping of sodium ions out of the cell into the environment where there is a lower concentration is achieved through active transport. Active transport is the movement of molecules or ions against a concentration gradient across living cell membranes with the utilization of ATP. Active transport takes place through carries located in the membrane.

How do DNA, chromosomes, and genes work as the instructions for heredity?
Margarita [4]
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule in living organisms wherein the genetic code or <em>genes</em> is stored. The structural conformation of DNA in the nucleus of the cells is called <em>chromatin </em><em />and in cell division, chromatin is grouped into a certain number (46, in humans, for instance) called <em>chromosomes.

</em>DNA provides instructions for hereditary such that a part of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA or mRNA for the genetic code to be transported outside the nucleus. The mRNA is then translated into polypeptides to form proteins that form specific functions in the human body.<em>

Which of the following statements regarding restriction enzymes is NOT true? See Section 15.1 (Page 554) . Which of the followin
irinina [24]

Answer:

Most restriction enzymes recognize sequences of 20-25 bp in length

Explanation:

Sequences of DNA that are recognized by restriction enzymes are called recognition (or restriction) sites are usually are between 4 and 8 bases long. Many of them are palindromic, which means that they are the same when you read it backwards and forwards (mirror-like).

Restriction enzymes are endonucleases, which means they cut phosphodiiester bonds within DNA. These enzymes are from prokaryotic organisms (archea and bacteria) which use them as defending mechanism against viruses. Prokaryotes protect their own DNA via methylation, performed by methyltransferase.
