Which enzyme is responsible for ""unzipping"" the dna double helix?

Biology

tigry1 [53]3 years ago

Answer:

Helicase

Explanation:

The DNA double helix is unzipped by the enzyme *HELICASE*. The enzyme breaks the hydrogen bond between the bases thereby causing the strands of the double helicase to unzip. The action of the helicase enzyme uses energy from ATP. The unzipping of the double helix does not occur in a swift move. One end of the DNA molecule with 5'-3' is opened up showing the antiparallel single strands. The end that is opened is termed INITIATION SITE of replication. The opening look like someone standing with legs wide open. The wide opening is called REPLICATION FORK. The single strands of the fork are usually unstable but their stability is maintained by the DNA-binding-proteins. Having opened the double helix, the replication would then continue in the 5'-3' direction of one of the two antiparallel single strands.

babunello [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

CCGAGU

<u>Explanation:</u>

DNA transcription:

DNA transcription is the process through which DNA double helical strand is converted into single stranded RNA molecule.

During transcription two strands of DNA are named differently i.e Template strand and coding strand.

Template strand:

Strand from which RNA is producing is known as template strand while

Coding strand:

The strand which is opposite to the template strand is known as the coding strand. Coding strand is the DNA strand whose nucleotide sequence resembles to the RNA transcript base sequence except thymine which is replaced by uracil.

Correct Answer:

Template strand from 5' to 3' reads GGCTCA. and

In this question CCGAGT is coding strand.

RNA sequence is same as coding sequence except T which is replaced by U so sequence of RNA becomes

Alkaptonuria is an infrequent autosomal recessive condition. It is first noticed in newborns when the urine in their diapers tur
Arisa [49]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Let the disorder be represented by the allele a.

Since the disease is an autosomal recessive one, affected individuals will have the genotype aa and normal individuals will have the genotype Aa or AA.

Since the four adults are carriers, their genotypes would be Aa.

                    Aa     x     Aa

Progeny:    AA    2Aa    aa

Probability of being affected = 1/4

Probability of being a carrier = 1/2

Probability of not being affected = 3/4

(a) The chance that the child second child of Mary and Frank will have alkaptonuria = 1/2

(b) The chance that  the third child of Sara and James will be free of the condition = 3/4

(c)

(d) If someone has no family history of the disorder, their genotype would be AA.

                 AA     x     aa

                        4 Aa

<em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history </em>= 0

(e)

(f) <em>The chance that a child with alkaptonuria will have an offspring with alkaptonuria if the child's mate has no family history</em> = 0

Which is a disaccharide?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Disaccharidases are glycoside hydrolases, enzymes that break down certain types of sugars called disaccharides into simpler sugars called monosaccharides. In the human body.

Explanation:

Disaccharide, also called double sugar, any substance that is composed of two molecules of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked to each other. ... The three major disaccharides are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

Three common disaccharides:

#sucrose — common table sugar = glucose + fructose.

#lactose — major sugar in milk = glucose + galactose.

#maltose — product of starch digestion = glucose + glucose.
