Explanation:

Watson & Crick discovered that DNA is composed of two (2) strands of DNA running antiparallel to each other. One strand is oriented in the 5’ -> 3’ direction while the other is oriented in the 3’ -> 5’ direction. The nitrogenous bases of the strands are found in between the two-strand backbones and they form hydrogen bonding with each other. Specifically, pyrimidines (Cytosine and Thymine) pair with purine (Adenine and Guanine).

The space between the strands is even throughout like a ladder with rungs of equal lengths. However during the twisting on the DNA helix, there are major grooves and minor grooves that form along the helix because of the nature of how the nitrogenous bases are attached to their respective strand. They do not project from their strands at 90 degrees.

All proteins are made up of amino acids and have many, many functions in a cell.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The gene, or sequence of DNA, ultimately determines the unique sequence of amino acids in each peptide chain. A change in nucleotide sequence of the gene's coding region may lead to a different amino acid being added to the growing polypeptide chain, causing a change in protein structure and therefore function.

Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen rich blood separate from oxygen poor blood?
podryga [215]
<span>if the oxygen poor blood mixes back with oxygen rich blood, that means that oxygen poor blood is not going back to the lungs to swap CO2 (carbon dioxide) with O2 (oxygen), and this swapping is vital to tissue survival, since oxygen is what keeps your tissues, muscles, and organs alive. so if this blood mixed, ultimately your organs are not receiving enough oxygen and will become starved of it, this can kill you and lots of people every year get heart surgery because their atrium or ventricles in their heart rupture (normally the valves</span>
