Two double-stranded fragments of DNA are exactly the same length. At 89°C, fragment A has completely denatured, which means that

the two strands have separated. At that temperature, fragment B is still double-stranded. How might these fragments differ to result in different denaturation temperatures?

Answer:

Fragment A have low GC bonds as compared to fragment B which means there will be low number of hydrogen bonds in the double stranded fragment A as compared to fragment B.

Explanation:

Denaturation temperature depend on the presence of hydrogen bonds in the DNA strand. There are hydrogen bonds between the complementary nucleotide in the DNA. Adenine form two hydrogen bonds thymine in the complementary strand while guanine form 3 hydrogen bonds with cytosine in the complementary strand.

The reason behind denaturation at 89°C is the presence of low number of G-C hydrogen bonds so the fragment of DNA with low number of G-C bonds in the complementary strand will denature at 89 °C as compared to other fragment B which will denature at 95 °C.

Refer to Animation: Countercurrent Multiplication. What would you predict to be the effect on an animal species of having longer
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The correct answers is: I would predict that animals with longer loops of Henle would be able to concentrate their urine more than animals with shorter loops, and thus they would more likely survive in desserts and other dry areas.

Explanation:

The<em> Loop of Henle</em> is a tubule system that connects the proximal convoluted tubule to the distal convoluted tubule in a nephron, the functional and structural unit of the kidney. Its primary job is to establish a concentration gradient in the kidney's medulla by creating a high urea concentration deep in the medulla using a countercurrent multiplier system that uses electrolyte pumps. Through this mechanism, <u><em>water is reabsorbed to concentrate the urine and impede dehydration</em></u>.

The length of the loops of Henle is of great importance for the countercurrent multiplier system - <u>the longer they are, the more concentrated the urine can get</u>. Therefore, animals with longer loops can survive better in habitats where there is not much water around.

During warmer months, manatees have been sighted from:
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

D.Georgia to Alabama

Explanation:

There are records of manatee sighting during the summer months in areas such as Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. They migrate north in the summer months.

The manatees do not withstand temperatures below 21 degrees Celsius.

Most manatees migrate seasonally over long distances between a northern warm season range.

In winter the manatees are concentrated in Florida.

What is “the balance of nature”?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

<h3>The balance of nature is a theory that proposes that ecological systems are usually in a stable equilibrium or homeostasis,which is to say that a small change will be corrected by some negative feedback that will bring the parameter back to its original "point of balance" with the rest of the system.</h3>
