During genetic engineering, how do Restriction enzymes know what base pairs to act on?

Engineering

MaRussiya [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct/closest option is b

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are enzymes (endonucleases) that cut short DNA strands at specific sites. Hence, each restriction enzyme has it's own specific site (between two bases) it cuts at. There are two types of end that can be produced by this cut; the blunt end and the sticky end.

A restriction enzyme recognizes (palindromic sequence) and cut in it's own specific end.

For example, if a restriction enzyme cuts between a guanine (G) and an adenine (A), and it cuts a palindromic double stranded DNA in the manner below, it produces a sticky end.

G║AATTC

CTTAA║G

And if a restriction enzyme cuts between guanine (G) and cytosine (C) in the manner below, it produces a blunt end.

GGG║CCC

CCC║GGG

Hence, from the question, restriction enzymes (although chosen by the scientist based on desired sequence to be cut) recognize the sticky or blunt ends itself.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

(a) 20 MHz

(b) 1.025 KW

(c) 3.33 ns

(d) 33 pF

Explanation:

(a) 20,000,000 Hz = 20 x 10^6 Hz = 20 Mega Hz = <u>20 MHz</u>

(b) 1025 W = 1.025 x 10^3 W = 1.025 Kilo W = <u>1.025 KW</u>

(c) 0.333 x 10^(-8) s = 3.33 x 10^(-9) s = 3.33 nano s = <u>3.33 ns</u>

(d) 33 x10^(-12)F = 33 pico F = <u>33 pF</u>

4.75cm * 5.22cm is 24.795cm²

but let's do this with m² instead:

0.0475m * 0.0522m = 0.0024795

now we can compare it with the 49780 much easier.

devide. that's the <u>roughly</u> 20,000,000fold of the plot, but it's still squared, so let's take the root

so the representative fraction is 1:4,480.

the exact value is in the screens

have a nice day:)

A circuit contains a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor. When an AC voltage is applied across the circuit, the impedance of
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The impedance of  the circuit depends on the angular frequency of the voltage source.

Explanation:

  • In a electric circuit, the magnitude of  the impedance, is given by the following expression:

       Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (Xl-Xc)^{2} (1)

        where R = Resistance

                   Xl = Inductive reactance = ω*L

                   Xc = Capacitive Reactance = 1/ωC

        and  ω = angular frequency of the voltage source.

  • So, it can be seen that the impedance depends on the value of the constants R,L and C, and on the angular frequency ω.
