DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule while RNA is a single stranded molecule.

DNA is stable under alkaline conditions while RNA is not stable.

DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans. DNA is responsible for storing and transferring genetic information while RNA directly codes for amino acids and as acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins.

DNA and RNA base pairing is slightly different since DNA uses the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; RNA uses adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine. Uracil differs from thymine in that it lacks a methyl group on its ring.

I hope this helps :)

Which of these is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution?
ycow [4]

The C option is Correct.

  • All the Galapagos finches exist on the same island.

Galapagos finches is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution.

Darwin's finches comprise a group of 15 species endemic to the Galápagos (14 species) and Cocos (1 species) Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The group is monophyletic and originated from an ancestral species that reached the Galápagos Archipelago from Central or South America.

On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.

For the following three cultures, using any resource find out if they are obligate aerobes, facultative anaerobe, or obligate an
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<em>Escherichia coli </em>- Facultative anaerobe

<em>Micrococcus luteus </em>- Obligate aerobe

<em>Clostridium sporogenes</em> - Obligate anaerobe

Explanation:

In simple terms, obligate aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to grow and metabolize molecules such as fats and sugars to produce energy. Many animals fall under this category. Other examples are <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>and <em>Micrococcus luteus</em>.

Facultative anaerobes are organisms (usually bacteria) that can grow both in the presence and absence of oxygen. The most example of this are the <em>Escherichia coli</em><em>.</em>

Obligate anaerobes are organisms (usually microorganisms) that cannot survive when exposed to normal atmospheric concentration of oxygen. Examples are <em>Clostridium sporogenes</em><em> </em>and <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>
