Which of the following is a reason why sticky end producing restriction enzymes are preferred compared to blunt end ones?

Biology
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D) Because sticky ends can be temporarily held together by hydrogen bonding between the two strands.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific restriction sites and by the mechanism of action they can form two types of ends:

  • sticky ends-single-stranded overhangs are formed
  • blunt ends-without overhangs.

The main advantage of sticky ends (their overhangs) is that they can complementary bind to another overhand formed by the same restriction enzyme. So, for example in cloning, if the DNA of interest and plasmid vector are cut with the same restriction enzyme, that  forms sticky ends, fragment of DNA will fit into a bacterial plasmid in one direction.

On the other hand, blunt ends can be inserted into vector in both directions: head-to-tail or tail-to-head.

Which zone is most likely to have insects and very little plant life?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The right answer is D. The benthic zone

Explanation:

The limnetic and the littoral zone  all get a lot of sunlight so there are a lot of plant life. The pelagic zone hosts a variety of plant species so this cannot be the correct answer. That leaves us with the benthic zone.

Benthic meaning inhabiting bottom areas or substrates. Plant life at the bottom is very scarce but there are a lot of insect species.

Which wold tell you for sure if you had a sample of real gold​
Advocard [28]

To perform this test to check if gold is real, make a light, tiny scratch on the item using a small nail file. Choose a spot that is not noticeable if possible. Use a dropper to apply a small drop of nitric acid to the scratch. If there is no reaction, then the piece is probably made from real gold.

what is the significance of diffusion and osmosis in living organism ?give one example in support of your answer​
olasank [31]

Answer:

Diffusion is the process in which molecules and ions move from a region of high concentration to low concentration. Its also how cells transport waste out of the cell and nutrients into it hence being very crucial. Diffusion also occurs without the expenditure of extra energy using a procedure known as passive transport. (Osmosis is a form of diffusion but deals with water exclusively).

Examples of where diffusion is important;

In the intestines - Digested food molecules such as amino acids and glucose move down the concentration gradient from the intestine into the bloodstream. Wastes such as carbon dioxide or urea travel via diffusion from the body's cells to the bloodstream.

Osmosis plays a major role in living organisms. It aids in the transportation of nutrients from cells to cells and also helps to remove the waste's metabolic products from the cell. The purification of blood in the kidneys is also dependent on the process of osmosis.
