Answer:

Thioredoxin

Explanation:

Ribonucleotides serve as precursors for synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides and the reaction is catalyzed by enzyme ribonucleotide reductase. The reduction of a ribonucleotide into deoxyribonucleotide requires a pair of hydrogen atoms.

These hydrogen atoms are supplied from NADPH via ubiquitous protein thioredoxin. The oxidized form of thioredoxin is reduced back in a reaction catalyzed by thioredoxin reductase.

how do ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and visible light harm microorganisms? how do microorganisms protect themselve
7nadin3 [17]

Microorganism protect themselves against harmful UV light and visible light by using Iron minerals around themselves.

The iron minerals have unique properties in that they block damaging UV radiation while yet allowing organisms to utilise the portion of sunlight required for photosynthesis. UV rays kill cells by damaging their DNA. Two molecules of thymine, one of the bases that makes up DNA, react when exposed to light. The thymine dimer that results is extremely stable. The cell cannot perform its usual tasks if cellular processes are interfered as a result of an inadequate repair or unrepaired damage of thymine dimer.

natulia [17]

Answer:

Answer is D "Genes for the two traits are located close together on the same chromosome, and crossing over occurred between the two gene loci"

Explanation:

Traits are distinguishing characteristics of an organism. The Phenotypic crossing of the Drosophila melanogaster specie with Gray body and long wings over that of the same specie but female with black body and apterous wings produced a total of 100 offspring, which showed a that genetic crossing were done on the closely related chromosomes of the body traits for the individual species.

What is anabolism? Give an example. What is catabolism also give an example
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Anabolism is the synthesis of complex molecules in living organisms from simpler ones together with the storage of energy.

Examples of anabolism: bone growth and mineralization, and muscle mass build-up.

Catabolism: the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones, together with the release of energy.

Examples of Catabolism: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, the breakdown of muscle protein in order to use amino acids as substrates for gluconeogenesis, the breakdown of fat in adipose tissue to fatty acids, and oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters by monoamine oxidase.
