The DNA molecule is shaped like a ladder that is twisted into a coiled configuration called a double helix. The nitrogen bases form the rungs of the ladder and are arranged in pairs, which are connected to each other by chemical bonds.

Someone who has vision in only one eye can no longer use _____ as a cue for the perception of depth and distance.
Furkat [3]
Binocular cues--particularly retinal disparity and binocular convergence

Binocular cues are information (depth/distance) taken in by both eyes. The two main types of binocular cues are retinal disparity and binocular convergence. 

Retinal disparity arises from the fact that our left and our right eyes, being a few centimeters apart, view images at slightly different angles. The two different images are merged into one and this allows us to perceive depth in the things we see around us. 

Binocular convergence is the simultaneous inward movement of both eyes in order to maintain a single binocular vision. The closer the object is, the more inward rotation is required for the eyes. The degree of rotation of the eyes helps the brain to interpret the distance of the perceived objects.

Binary fission is a type of ______ seen in prokaryotes, such as archaea and bacteria.
erica [24]

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction seen in prokaryotes, such as archaea and bacteria.

Binary fission is the formation of daughter cells by the separation of an organism into two parts. The division of the genetic material occurs by the method of duplication. The daughter cells are identical to each other. The examples of organisms that undergo binary fission are: Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica and Clostridium botulinum.

Asexual reproduction is the process of producing new organism without the fusion of gametes. Only one parent can give rise to offspring. There are several methods of asexual reproduction. These are: binary fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative propagation and spore formation.

Which of the following is true regarding the machinery of translation?
xenn [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a. A single mRNA can be translated simultaneously by several ribosomes.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are structures composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) that direct the process of translation, with the help of special proteins and key molecules called transfer RNA (tRNA) that are 'able to read' the codons in the mRNA. To help with this 'reading', ribosomes move through the mRNA strand as the translation moves forward, placing the anticodons presented by the tRNA molecules with their specific match - each mRNA codon - forming a strand of amino acids.

To ease the process in the cases where the molecule to be translated is a polypeptide, groups of ribosomes form a <u>polysome </u>and they all translate one single mRNA strand at the same time. Each of these ribosomes starts translating from the first codon and stop when the stop codon appears.

Why perform multiple tests in order to identify an unknown bacterium, instead of a single biochemical test
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

There is no specific test available for a perticular or any individual bacterium to be identified. A prticular test can only narrow down the choices on the basis of characteristic each test excludes or includes.

Most of the time, to identify a particular bacterium atleast 3 to 4 tests are required. Each test can give postive result to be positive for a new group of bacteria.

Read the scenario.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

C. He forgot to add primers.

Explanation:

The major components of a PCR include:

  • A sample DNA which is the DNA that needs to be amplified.
  • A DNA polymerase, an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands from the sample DNA.
  • A primer which represents the starting sequence for the new strand of DNA to be synthesized.
  • Free nucleotides in form of Deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)

<em>The graduate student forgot to add primers which are essential as a starting point on which the synthesis of new DNA strand is based. DNA ligase is not needed for PCR, but during DNA replication.</em>

The correct option is C.
