The definition of mutation is <span>the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.</span>

Describe how restriction enzymes and ligase enzymes are used to make the plasmids that are introduced to bacteria cells during t
balandron [24]

Answer:

DNA restriction enzymes cut the DNA molecule, while DNA ligases join the resulting DNA fragments

Explanation:

Transformation is a naturally occurring process by which bacteria incorporate exogenous genetic material from their surrounding environment. This process (transformation) is used for DNA cloning via plasmid vectors. In DNA cloning, transformation occurs after restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific sequences named palindromic sequences (i.e, sequences that can be read the same in opposite direction). Restriction enzymes can generate sticky-ends, where enzymes make staggered cuts in the two strands (e.g., <em>BamH</em>), or blunt ends, where the resulting strands are of the same length (e.g., <em>HaeIII</em>). In general, sticky-end enzymes are more useful because they generate a 3' overhang in one molecule and a complementary 5' overhang in the other, increasing the yield and specificity of ligation. During ligation, a DNA ligase is used to join both DNA strands by forming phosphodiester bonds in the plasmid. Following transformation, bacteria can be selected on antibiotic plates.

Which of the following species is diamagnetic? View Available Hint(s) Hint 1. How to determine magnetism Which of the following
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cl = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

Al = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

Fe2+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d4

S2- = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force. If all electrons in the particle are paired, then the substance made of this particle is diamagnetic.

S2- is diamagnetic because of its paired electrons in the outermost shell.

Purines and primidens are the two types of nitrogens.basis in nuclic acid,breifly explain both of them
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Pyrimidines

Uracil = 2,4-dioxy pyrimidine

Thymine = 2,4-dioxy-5-methyl pyrimidine

Cytosine = 2-oxy-4-amino pyrimidine

Orotic acid = 2,4-dioxy-6-carboxy pyrimidine

Polynucleotides

Nucleotides are joined together by 3'-5' phosphodiester bonds to form polynucleotides. Polymerization of ribonucleotides will produce an RNA while polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides leads to DNA.
