Uracil is not found in DNA, only RNA, and replaces thymine in RNA 
sveta [45]3 years ago

The correct answer is uracil.

Uracil is a nitrogen base that is found in the RNA and not in the DNA, which has thymine. The three other nitrogen bases are the same ( Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine).

Besides the difference in the nitrogen bases, the two molecules also differ in the sugar that builds the structure ( DNA has desoxyribose and RNA has ribose) and the DNA is a two stranded helix, whereas the RNA is a single stranded molecule.

Huntington's disease is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder that can affect both men and women. Imagine a couple has had se
Vanyuwa [196]

1. The percent probability that the first child of the couple will have Huntington's disease is 50%

2. The percent probability that four of the seven children will have Huntington's disease is 6.25%

<h3>Genetical probabilities</h3>

The disease is autosomal dominant. Only one dominant allele is needed for the disease to be manifested.

The husband is Hh and the wife is hh.

            Hh    x     hh

         Hh   Hh   hh   hh

Hh (affected) = 1/2

hh (unaffected) = 1/2

1. Probability that the first child of this couple will have Huntington's disease is the same as the probability of having the disease. Thus, it is 1/2 (50%)

2. Probability that four of the seven children will have Huntington's disease is the same as the probability of having the disease in 4 places.

  1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16 or 6.25%

Let's consider a scenario in which the resting membrane potential changes from −70 mv to +70 mv, but the concentrations of all i
Nookie1986 [14]
<span>Let's consider a scenario in which the resting membrane potential changes from −70 mV to +70 mV, but the concentrations of all ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluids are unchanged. Predict how this change in membrane potential affects the movement of Na+. The electrical gradient for Na+ would tend to move Na+ Outside the cell (extracellular) while the chemical gradient for Na+ would tend to move Na+ Inside the cell (intracellular).

The electrical gradient is defined as the + goes to the - and the - goes to the +
Na + has a positive charge, but there's more positive charge inside the cell than outside (due to potassium), therefore, Na+ goes extracellular (out)
The concentration gradient considers that the ion will go from the most concentrated to at least concentrated by passive diffusion so no trans-membrane proteins in the game attention.Na + is very concentrated in extracellular and few intracellular, therefore, it tends to go intracellular (in).</span>

A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 90 cells in interphase, 13 cells in prophase, 12 cells in metaphase, 3 cells i
EleoNora [17]
<span> Mitosis involves Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. 

So you have 
13 + 12 + 3 + 2 = 30 cells in mitosis 
and 
90 + 30 = 120 cells in total 

Therefore your ratio of cells in mitosis to total cells is 30 / 120 = 1 / 4. That means mitosis should take up roughly 1/4 of the total cell cycle length. Since the completely cycle takes 24 hours, mitosis would then take (1/4)*24 = 6 hours</span>
