Biology

Leviafan [203]3 years ago

If an atom is in its natural state the number of protons will equal the number of electrons. This is because an atom naturally wants to be "even" and since protons have a positive charge, the atom will have the same number of electrons (negative) so that they cancel each other out.

The quick answer is 42 electrons would be required however, the question has a kicker in it, there should be between 42 and 50 neutrons there also if the atom is to be stable. with a marginal number of neutrons like 36 atom will be highly unstable and most likely self distruct .

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between the leading and the lagging strands of DNA during D
Mrrafil [7]

The answer is; A & C

The lagging strand is replicated in fragments called Okazaki fragments, each initiated by a primer. The fragments are later joined into one strand by DNA ligase. Replication occurs by adding nucleotides to the 3’ end of a preceding nucleotide. Because the lagging strand is antiparallel to the leading strand, the replication of the lagging strand is in the opposite direction as the replication fork direction. This is why the lagging strand is replicated in fragments because replication is being carried out by a single DNA polymerase (moving in the direction of the replication fork) per replication fork.

The ICD-10-CM that should be reported is the O10.013. This is for pregnancies with pre-existing hypertension complicating the pregnancy in the third trimester. Since the patient is predisposed to pre-eclampsia from previous pregnancy and she is in her third trimester, the code to be used is O10.013.
