A common type of DNA damage from UV light results in:

Biology
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The damage to DNA usually occurs where there  are two consecutive thymine nucleotides on  a DNA strand. The energy from the UV light causes the two dimers to form a cyclobutane pyrimidine structure.  Proofreading and repair mechanism of DNA find it difficult to repair this kind of damage on DNA. During replication, therefore, DNA polymerase is unable to replicate this region hence leading to a mutation on the replicated strand at this local point.

What is water’s role in the light reaction of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

The correct answer is - Its electrons are used to form NADPH.

On receiving light energy, electrons are expelled from the reaction center of photosystem II. The expelled electrons finally reduces oxidized NADH⁺ to NADH. The oxidized reaction center of photosystem II split water into protons, electrons and oxygen. The electrons released from water reduces oxidized reaction center of photosystem II. Thus, oxidized reaction center of photosystem II gets back its expelled electrons. Therefore, electrons from water forms NADH.

Difference between specialist and generalist species and their niches?? Example of both?? A little help please
igor_vitrenko [27]

A generalist species is able to survive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of lots of different resources. Generalist species have a big niche. Humans, rabbits, house flies, and raccoons would all fall under the generalist species list.

A specialist species can only thrive is a small variety of environmental conditions and/or only has a limited diet. Specialist species have a small niche. Pandas, koalas, and salamanders would all fall under the specialist species list.

Which statement best explains why correct protein folding is critical in the transmembrane protein shown above?
amid [387]

The statement 'interactions of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids help to anchor the protein in the membrane' explains why protein folding is critical. This process is fundamental for the function of transmembrane proteins.

Protein folding refers to the process by which a polypeptide (i.e., a protein) adopts its final tridimensional 3D shape (conformation).

In a protein, some amino acids contain hydrophilic R groups, whereas other amino acids contain hydrophobic R groups.

During protein folding, hydrophobic amino acids are arranged so they can interact with the long chains of the fatty acids in the internal region of the lipid bilayer, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are arranged so they interact with water on the surface of the cell membrane.
