Answer:
1. replication
2. gene
3. strand polarity
4. translation
5. complementary base pairing
6. chromosome
7. antiparallel
8. transcription
9. allele
Explanation:
1. Replication is the process by which DNA is duplicated or the process of making another copy of DNA.
2. Gene is the physical unit of heredity i.e a segment of DNA transferred from parents to offsprings. A gene also encodes a useful products such as protein.
3. A DNA strand is a polar molecule, which is attributed to the phosphate group at the 5'-end of DNA and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA.
4. Translation is the process whereby the information in a mRNA molecule is used to synthesize a protein.
5. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby Adenine (A) binds to thymine (T), guanine (G) binds to cytosine (C).
6. A chromosome contains of single long molecule of DNA coiled together around histone proteins. The chromosome is associated with different types of proteins.
7. In the double-stranded DNA molecule, one strand runs from 5' to 3' and the other runs from 3' to 5'. This is called ANTIPARALLEL nature of DNA.
8. Transcription is the process by which a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA single strand.
9. Allele is the alternative or contrasting form of a gene. Each allele is contributed by each parent
Answer:
D.Georgia to Alabama
Explanation:
There are records of manatee sighting during the summer months in areas such as Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. They migrate north in the summer months.
The manatees do not withstand temperatures below 21 degrees Celsius.
Most manatees migrate seasonally over long distances between a northern warm season range.
In winter the manatees are concentrated in Florida.
Answer:
Normal Gene: AUC AUA GGA AAA UAC
Mutated Gene: AUC ACA GGA AAU UAC
Explanation:
The transcription takes place in the nucleus. This process involve copying of DNA sequence into mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence. mRNA too consists of 4 nucleotides except the fact that in mRNA the thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U). This involves the following steps:
- Unwinding of DNA
- Binding of RNA polymerase to the unwinded DNA.
- Synthesis of RNA commonly mRNA
- RNA elongation
- Stop codon (UAA, UAG, UGA) initiating termination of synthesis of RNA
