Dr. Bert Vogelstein and his partners study the causes of cancer. In 2017, they published a study of 32 types of cancer. The stud

y concluded that most cancer cases are caused by DNA replication errors. In fact, 66% of the cancer cases they studied were caused by random DNA replication errors. Environmental factors such as diet, sunburns, and smoking caused 29% of the cancers. The last 5% of cancers in the study were caused by inherited factors.
Briefly describe the steps of DNA replication and point out one place in the code where an error can occur.

Answer:

Error or mistakes during DNA replication is accountable for two-thirds or 66% of the cancer cases. These random and unpredictable errors called mutations that occur during the division of a cell as an error in copying of DNA.

DNA replication has three main steps:

Opening and separation of DNA strands of a helix - carried by an enzyme known as helicase that breaks the hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases of the helix of DNA.

The priming of the template strand - DNA primase helps RNA primers to bind to both strands at 3' end as soon as it separated

strat assembling the segments of new DNA on strands called elongation of the strands with help DNA polymerase I and after forming new strands the termination of the replication.

Errors or mistakes can occasionally take place if DNA polymerase inserts a wrong base during elongation of the strands.

The first most obvious thing to note is when naming transitional metals, you have to state its charge with roman numerals (except for 1 if I remember correctly). For example, Iron (lll), iron has a charge of 3.

In terms of energy, how would you classify the following chemical reaction?
olga_2 [115]

1. Answer;

- Exothermic reaction

Explanation;

-Exothermic reactions are types of chemical reactions in which heat energy is released to the surroundings. Since enthalpy change is the difference between the energy of products an that of reactants. It means that in an exothermic reaction the energy of products is less than that of products. In this case an energy of 315kJ is released to the surroundings.

2. Answer;

Conserved

-The total amount of energy before and after a chemical reaction is the same. Thus, energy is conserved.

Explanation;

-According to the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. Energy may change form during a chemical reaction. For example, energy may change form from chemical energy to heat energy when gas burns in a furnace. However, the exact amount of energy remains after the reaction as before, which is true for all chemical reactions.

Plz help ......<br><br>Na+ has completely filled k and L shells . explain<br>​
inessss [21]

Explanation:

Na represents the neutral element; Sodium. Because of it's atomic number of 11, It has 11 electrons.

Na+ on the other hand represents a cation. The sodium ion has lost an electron, hence the total number of electrons it has = 10.

The K and L shells each have maximum number of electrons they can accommodate. This is given by the formular; 2n^2

K shell = 2 (1)^2 = 2 electrons

L shell = 2 (2)^2 = 8 electrons

Seeing as Na+ has 10 electrons, It completely filled the K and L shells ( 2 + 8 = 10 )
