Answer:

True

Explanation:

DNA ligases are enzymes required for replication, repair, and recombination of DNA molecules. The DNA ligase repairs the break in the DNA molecule by the formation of a phosphodiester bond.  

The bacterial genome consists of a circular DNA molecule, thereby laboratories use these enzymes to create recombinant DNA molecules

Describe the function of each of the following in protein synthesis; rRNA, mRNA, and tRNA
Drupady [299]
Proteins synthesis requires transcription of DNA (containing information) to mRNA then this goes out of the cell’s nucleus to cytoplasm; and translation of mRNA together with ribosome and tRNA to synthesize proteins. Further steps are the following: 1) One side of DNA strand is copied to become mRNA (messenger RNA). 2) mRNA goes out the cell’s nucleus, next to cytoplasm and then to ribosome. 3) mRNA works with ribosome’s 3 bases at the same time. 4) tRNA (transfer RNA) connects with available DNA bases. <span>5) tRNA releases the amino acids which in turn combines with the other produced amino acid chains from different DNAs. </span>

Hydrogen peroxide does not make a good antiseptic for open wounds because ____________. view available hint(s) hydrogen peroxide
steposvetlana [31]
The correct answer is "catalase in human tissues neutralizes it".

Hydrogen peroxide works to kill bacteria by forming free radicals which exerts oxidative stress in the bacterial cell leading mostly to cell membrane damage and lysis of the bacterial cells. In the environment of human tissues wherein there is catalase, hydrogen peroxide is converted to water and oxygen which has no antiseptic effect.
