amm18123 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Topoisomerase is an enzyme which participates in the unwinding of DNA helix.

Explanation:

During transcription and DNA replication, the DNA needs to be unwound in order for the transcription/replication machinery to gain access to the DNA so it can be copied or replicate, respectively.

Which statement is true about nuclear decay
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Nuclear decay rates are constant

Explanation:

Spontaneous decay of unstable nuclei is a process of a statistical nature, it is not possible to predict with certainty when an individual radioactive nucleus will decay, nor can the decay process be influenced in any way.

Therefore, the half-life of radionuclides (specific for each radionuclide) is defined as the time period in which half of the initial number of radioactive nuclei decays.

The unit of measurement for the radioactivity of the material is the becquerel (Bq) and denotes the number of decays in one second (1Bq = 1 decay / 1 second).

(03.05 MC) In which of the following ways is DNA replication different from DNA transcription? (2 points) New cells can only be
Softa [21]
The correct option is D.
Transcription is the process by which the information in a DNA molecule is copied into an mRNA strand. Replication is the process by which two new strands of DNA are formed from a single parent DNA. Both the DNA and the RNA are composed of four different bases, three of the bases are the same while one is different for the DNA and RNA. It is only the RNA that has uracil while it is only the DNA that has thymine. Thus, Uracil is involved during the process of transcription since it is an mRNA strand that is formed while thymine is the one involved during the process of replication since it is a DNA molecule that is formed.<span />

Using the information from problem 11, scientists do a further test cross using a heterozygote for height and nose morphology. T
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The recombinant frequency between T and S is  18%;

The correct Sequence of genes is T-A-S

Explanation:

The table below shows the recombinant frequency between heterozygous height and nose morphology:

Tall-uptrend snout                            40%                            Expected

Dwarf-downtrend snout                   42%                            Expected

Dwarf-uptrend snout                         9%                             Recombinant

Tall-uptrend snout                             9%                             Recombinant

Sum Total                                           100%

To calculate the recombinant frequency; we have :

=9+9

=18%

Hence, the recombinant frequency between T and S = 18%

The determinant of the corect sequence of the genes is  T-A-S
