Because human DNA is so very long (with up to 80 million base pairs in a chromosome) it unzips at multiple places along its length so that the replication process is going on simultaneously and more accurately.
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic mutation
Answer:
The functional groups that define the two different ends of a single strand of nucleic acids are:
B. a free hydroxyl group on the 5' carbon a free hydroxyl group on the 3' carbon
G. a free phosphate group on the 5' carbon
Explanation:
A nucleic acid is a polymer formed of nucleotides that are linked with a phosphodiester bond. The structure of a nucleotide consists on a phosphate group linked to a pentose (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) that is also attached to a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA).
DNA and RNA are nucleic acids which can be found in a double or single strand presentation.
Nucleic acids are synthesize in the 5’ to 3’ direction, so that is why the convention is that the sequences are written and read in that direction.
The strand of a nucleic acid is directional with an end-to-end orientation, where the 5’ end has a free hydroxyl or phosphate group on the 5' carbon of the terminal pentose, and the 3’ end has a free hydroxyl group on the 3’ carbon on the terminal pentose (ribose/ deoxyribose).
Needs a better description, but i am happy to help you if you need it !
A) sulfide mineral: Contain sulfur plus a metallic element
B) sulfate mineral: Compounds that have a sulfur atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms
C) halide minerals: Contain elements like fluorine, bromine, iodine, or chlorine combined with metals. Stable salt is an example of this type of mineral
D) carbonate mineral: Compounds made up of a carbon atom that is bordered by three oxygen atoms.
