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.

What distinguishes an amniotic egg from eggs laid by other animals, including fishes, amphibians, and invertebrates?
PIT_PIT [208]

The difference between an amniotic egg and eggs laid by other animals is : Absence of Membrane ( amnion ) and absence of larval stage

<h3>Characteristics of an amniotic egg</h3>

Eggs laid by amniotes are different from other eggs laid by fishes, amphibians and invertebrates in that they lack a membrane and a larval stage. the shell of the amniotic egg protects the embryo in the absence of a membrane. The shell also allows for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the the embryo and the environment.

Hence we can conclude that The difference between an amniotic egg and eggs laid by other animals is : Absence of Membrane ( amnion ) and absence of larval stage
