The acronym 'DNA' stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
DNA is used to 'code' the genetic makeup of all living organisms, and is found inside the nucleus of the cell(Eukaryotes) or just floating in the cytoplasm of the cell(Prokaryotes). DNA is made up of 4 different pairs of base molecules(nucleotides) that are slightly different from another. The similar molecule structure RNA(ribonucleic acid) differs from DNA in that RNA nucleotides are just slightly different from the nucleotides of DNA. This difference is that RNA nucleotides have a hydroxide group(OH) where the DNA nucleotides just have a hydrogen atom.
Because the DNA nucleotide doesn't have the hydroxide group it has one less oxygen than RNA nucleotides do. This is where DNA derives the prefix "deoxy-," meaning "without oxygen."
The prefix "ribo-" is given to molecules with a certain configuration of a set of 3 consecutive but not necessarily contiguous CHOH(asymmetric) groups.
The combined form "nucleo-" is used to imply something that has to do with the nucleus, such as the nucleus of a cell where DNA is stored in Eukaryotes.
And finally, the ending of the acronym: "acid." DNA is an acid because the 4 nucleotides each contain a phosphate group, which are acidic.
And thus, we get our answer: deoxyribonucleic acid, and the meaning:
deoxy-ribo-nucleic acid
(without oxygen) + (has 3 CHOH groups) + (in/of the nucleus) + (acidic)
Thus, DNA is a molecule is basically an acidic molecule residing in the nucleus with 3 CHOH groups and is missing oxygen atoms.
I know this isn't really what you're looking for, but honestly I had a great time doing a little research into the name!
Hope this explains it a little! c;
Mendel's laws of hereditary are
1) Segregation
2) Independence
3) Dominance
Since you putting them from third to first, your
answer would be A. Dominance, Independence, Segregation.
Answer:
C. As scientists have learned more about chemicals, they have become more aware of their dangers
Explanation:
Chemicals are substances with standard compositions, held together by chemical bonds. Chemicals can exist in different phases such as solid, liquid, and gaseous phases. Over time, with a growing understanding of chemicals, their composition, and their reaction methods, scientists now have a better knowledge of the dangers chemicals can pose. To that effect, they have created standard safety measures for those who have to work with these chemicals.
When these guidelines are strictly adhered to, the chances of suffering accidents, burns, and explosions with these chemicals are significantly reduced.
Answer:
14) The edge dislocation is more plastic than the screw dislocation
15) So as to form kinks that are fast moving
Explanation:
14) Edge and screw dislocations are the two main types of mobile dislocations
The three dimensional core of the screw dislocation prevents the slipping of the layers (one over the other) in a BCC metal such that kinks are required to be formed first by thermal activation (heating) in order. The kinks are edge dislocation that move such that the screw dislocation moves forward
Hence, the edge dislocation is more plastic than the screw dislocation
15) The three dimensional structure of a screw dislocation acts like a wedge which resists the slipping of the layers in the BCC structure such that the screw dislocation needs to be highly thermally activated forming kinks before the surrounding layers can move.
