DNAase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would first happen to DNA molecules treated with DNAase?
A) The purines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.
B) The pyrimidines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.
C) All bases would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.
D) The two strands of the double helix would separate.
E) The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken.
Answer:
E) The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken.
Explanation:
The purines and pyrimidines of two DNA strands of a DNA duplex are held together by hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are not covalent bonds. The enzyme DNAase targets the phosphodiester bonds. These are the covalent bonds that join two deoxyribonucleotides of a DNA strand together. therefore, when a DNA is subjected to digestion with DNAase enzyme, the phosphodiester bonds will be broken that hold the pentose sugars of two nucleotides by a phosphate group.
Answer: B- Bacteria
Explanation: Bacteria are infinitesimal organisms that have single cells that grow in different atmospheres. They have an easily understood inside arrangement. Their cells are normally surrounded by two shielding coverings which are an external cell continuous vertical structure and a cell pliable sheet-like structure acting as a boundary inside. However, some bacteria do have a third shielding sheet furthest from the center named the capsule.
The elephant cell will have 20 chromosomes.
Cells undergo interphase before getting to the mitotic phase. At the S phase of the interphase, the amount of DNA in the cell is double by replication. However, the number of chromosomes remains intact.
Thus, the cell gets to the mitotic phase with the same number of chromosomes that is usually present in normal vegetative cells of the animal.

Answer:
A) Glucose and Oxygen
Explanation:
Photosynthesis takes in water and carbon dioxide and converts it to glucose and oxygen.
