When double-stranded DNA is heated at neutral pH, which change does not occur?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B) The covalent N-glycosidic bond between the base and the pentose breaks

Explanation:

When forces that bind 2 DNA strands are broken, these strands finally split. This process is called denaturalization

The main forces that remain both DNA strands together are the hydrogen bonds (physical forces), between pair of bases (Adenine with Thymine, and Guanine with Cytosine)

Denaturalization may occur by different factor: Ph alteration, salt addition, temperature (heating), etc

When heating a DNA solution, denaturalization process may be followed using UV absorption (normally, at wavelength of 260 nm): when DNA (double strand) has its regular structure, UV light absorption is low, as the nitrogen bases are stacked like a pile of coins, for which structure absorbs less light

When DNA structure is denaturalized, these nitrogen bases are exposed, and UV absorption increases

Also, DNA denaturalization may be followed by viscosity: for a double strand DNA solution, viscosity is high due to double chain stiffness but when strands are denaturalized, simple strands solution are less viscous (so viscosity decreases over time, when heating the solution)

Lastly, when solution is heated, only physical forces are broken (hydrogen bonds) and not chemical bonds (such as covalent bonds), for which extreme conditions are needed

What caused wind to blow
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Different atmospheric pressure. When there is a different atmospheric pressure, air moves from the higher pressure to the lower pressure area which results in what you call <u>WIND</u> but can result in various speeds and pressure.

Hope this helped and if it did, please give my answer a brainliest.

Chlorine is the most widely used disinfectant for killing pathogens during water treatment. Determine the kilograms of chlorine
makkiz [27]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Flow of chlorine (Q) = 10,000 m^{3}/day

Amount of liter present per day is as follows.

                  10,000 \times 10^{3} l/day

It is given that dosage of chlorine will be as follows.

                   10 mg/l = 10 \times 10^{-6} kg/l

Therefore, total chlorine requirement is as follows.

          Total chlorine requirement = (10,000 \times 10^{3}) \times (10 \times 10^{-6}) kg/day

                                        = 100 kg/day

Thus, we can conclude that the kilograms of chlorine used daily at the given water treatment plant is 100 kg/day.

1- Oil Spill Pollution Problem Statement (it is written in the form of a question)
anastassius [24]
Oil spill pollution is happening today as we speak. Fracking is one main cause of this oil spill. Sometimes airplanes load oil and dump it in the oceanic ocean and it’s really sad to hear of so.

If this continues to happen, ocean life will decline and key stone species will die meaning the whole biosphere will colapse
