What complementary strand of DNA would be produced from the strand of DNA shown below?<br> TCG GA
mariarad [96]
Complementary pairing goes like this:

A pairs with T and 
C pairs with G. Nothing about this changes unless you get to mRNA (But we won't go into that) :)

So if you have a strand that goes TCG GA then your pairing will look like this:

T A
C G
G C
G C
A T

Hope this helps!! :)

Compared to unmyelinated axons, myelinated axons?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

A. Conduct impulses faster.

Explanation:

Myelinated axons are called that way due to the myelin sheath that surrounds them. Myelin has an insulation property so electrical impulses cannot travel through it, except on certain sites called Nodes of Ranvier. In order for electrical impulses to be conducted on myelinated axons they must "jump" from one Node of Ranvier to the next, and thus conduction is faster. This is called saltatory conduction.
