Answer:

All the bacteria would appear purple(gram- positive)

Explanation:

Gram stain is used for distinguishing gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria appear purple because it does not gets destain after decolorizing step and gram-negative bacteria appears read or pink because it gets decolorized after decolorizing step and then it gets stained by safranin which provides a pink color to gram-negative bacteria.

So if a student forgot the decolorizing step then gram-negative bacteria will not get decolorized and will not take safranin stain so even gram-negative cells will appear violet. Therefore all the bacteria will appear violet or purple(gram-positive).

Assuming that transcription and translation both proceed from left to right, which is the correct orientation of the DNA templat
aleksklad [387]

The correct answer is:

DNA template 3'– ……… –5'

RNA transcript 5'– ……… –3'

Protein product H2N– ……. –COOH

In nucleic acids, DNA and RNA 5’ end refers to phosphate group attached to the 5′ carbon of the ribose ring, while 3’ end refers to the ribose -OH substituent. Nucleic acids can only be synthesized in the 5′-to-3′ direction, which means that the DNA template is 3’—5’. Translation of the protein by the ribosome will also proceed in a 5′ to 3′ direction, which means that the mRNA template is 3’—5’.

The protein during the synthesis is extend from its N terminus toward its C terminus.
