1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
5 0

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  1. there are more base pairs synthesized
  2. the DNA becomes supercoiled
  3. the double strands of DNA are separating
  4. DNA gyrase relaxes supercoiling of the DNA

Answer:

3. the double strands of DNA are separating

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light is absorbed by the DNA molecule therefore the UV light is used to find the DNA concentration of a sample.

The ultraviolet light is absorbed by the nitrogenous bases present between the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule. The part of the base which absorbs the UV light is the presence of the heterocyclic rings.

Since these heterocyclic rings are involved in the hydrogen bond therefore when DNA exists in its double-stranded form, it absorbs less UV light.

When the DNA sample is heated then the DNA gets denatured and DNA becomes single-stranded. The heterocyclic rings absorb the UV light more easily thus increasing the absorbance.

Thus, Option-3 is correct.

Which is true of the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane?
a_sh-v [17]

The correct option for the above statement is:

C. There is a water-loving side outside the cell.

Explanation:

The lipid bilayer is formed in such the simplest way that the hydrophobic facet is on within| and therefore the water affectioned (hydrophilic) facet is on the surface and inside.

It is a two-layered arrangement of phosphate and macromolecule molecules that is kind of cytomembrane, the hydrophobic macromolecule ends facing inward and therefore the hydrophilic phosphate ends facing outward.

Normally, the hydrostatic pressure difference between capillary fluid and interstitial fluid favors movement of fluid __________
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

out of

into

Explanation:

As pressure exerts force, Hydrostatic pressure is a type of force that occurs in fluid e.g (interstitial fluids) on the walls of the capillary. The helps to carry fluid-like materials out of the tissue capillary. There are quite bunch of relative factors affecting the hydrostatic pressure which include; the liquid density and distance beneath the liquid surface,force of gravity.

On the other hand, The protein osmotic pressure difference between capillary fluid and interstitial fluid normally favors movement of fluid into a tissue capillary. This protein substances consist of albumin, plasma protein etc. From our knowledge of osmosis as well, we knew it is the movement of substances through a semi-permeable membrane from the region of higher concentration to a lower concentration.  Therefore the protein osmotic pressure bring about movement of fluid like substances into the tissue capillary.

Infer: How might the size of a group affect its defense?
uysha [10]
I don't know exactly what you mean but the size of a group affects its defense because there is a larger group. Therefore, more people would be protecting it, adding more to its defense.
