DNAase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would first happen to DNA molecules treated with DNAase?

A) The purines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.

B) The pyrimidines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.

C) All bases would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.

D) The two strands of the double helix would separate.

E) The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken.

Answer:

E) The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken.

Explanation:

The purines and pyrimidines of two DNA strands of a DNA duplex are held together by hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are not covalent bonds. The enzyme DNAase targets the phosphodiester bonds. These are the covalent bonds that join two deoxyribonucleotides of a DNA strand together. therefore, when a DNA is subjected to digestion with DNAase enzyme, the phosphodiester bonds will be broken that hold the pentose sugars of two nucleotides by a phosphate group.

Why are phosphates a critical part of life
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Phosphates are critical part of life because of the diverse roles they perform in the lives of living organisms, especially in DNA and RNA molecules.

Phosphates are formed from two elements, phosphorus and oxygen. Phosphorus is a very important element that play a crucial roles in the formation of bones and teeth. It is also plays vital roles in carbohydrate metabolism, fat metabolism, protein synthesis and repair of worn out tissues. Oxygen on the other hand is required for oxidation of biological fuel and for breathing.

Phosphates are usually formed from one atom of phosphorus and four atoms of oxygen, it has the chemical formula PO4. Phosphate is an important component of DNA and RNA molecules, phosphates hold these molecules together. Phosphate molecule is also found in ATP, which is the energy currency of living cells.

10 POINTS + BRANLIEST AND THANKS
rodikova [14]

    Termites depend on digestive tract to digest the complex sugars into simpler molecules that they can use for food. Cellulose is a major sugar and it is broken down in the hindgut of the termite by microbes into molecules called short-chain fatty acids. The termite's cells use these acids as nourishment, just like our cells do.

therefore, answer is A. mutualism
