DNA has two strands. If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use that information to determine

the sequence of the second strand? Explain your reasoning for your response.

Tatiana [17]3 years ago
3 0
Yes it is possible to determine the possible sequence of the second strand, as knowing that the strands run in anti parallel manner, the orientation of the deoxyribose sugar and the phosphate groups would be in the opposite direction as compared to the first strand, which is told based on the carbon on the phosphate and the sugar. Also since we know the base pairing rules of DNA, we can determine the nucleotide sequence of nitrogenous bases for the second strand.

KIM [24]
He is incorrect because a catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction so if there is no reaction to begin with a catalyst will not due anything.

Give one example of how urbanization affects ecosystems
ozzi

Urban people change their environment through their consumption of food, energy, water, and land. And in turn, the polluted urban environment affects the health and quality of life of the urban population. ... For example, urban populations consume much more food, energy, and durable goods than rural populations.

Using at least 3 steps explain how to make a wet mount slide with an Elodea plant​
Masja [62]
Step One - Obtain a clean microscope slide.

Step Two - Place a drop of liquid on the slide. This is the “wet” part of the wet mount. The liquid used depends on the type of cell being viewed:
If examining a plant cell, tap water can be used.
If examining an animal cell, physiological saline (or contact lens solution) must be used, because if plain water is used, the cell will explode from osmotic pressure. Unlike plant cells and bacteria, animal cells have no cell wall to structurally support them.

Step Three - Obtain the specimen to be used. Some introductory biology classics for viewing include:
Skin of an onion bulb: In order to view the cells, a very thin layer of skin must be obtained. Take a single layer of onion and bend it towards the shiny side. After it snaps, pull gently, and a transparent layer of skin, similar to Scotch tape, will appear.
Elodea leaf: Elodea leaves are two cell layers thick. The cells in one layer are smaller than the cells in the other, so elodea leaves can be used to better understand a microscope's depth of field.
Cheek cells: Human epithelial cells can be obtained by gently rubbing a toothpick on the inside of the mouth, and then swirling the toothpick in the physiological saline on the slide.
Pond water: Obtaining some water from a pond makes wet mount preparation a breeze, since the water and the specimens are both included.
