Answer:
From the diagram X = <u>base pairs</u>
Explanation:
Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.
Nucleotides comprise:
- a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,
- one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)
- and a phosphate group.
Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine, and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.
Answer:
D. All of the above
Explanation:
Like all living organisms, plants use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as their genetic material. The DNA in plant cells is found in the nucleus, the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. The latter two organelles are descendants of bacteria that were captured by a eukaryotic cell and have become endosymbionts.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
the function of DNA polymerase is to unzip the double helix structure of DNA by breaking down the weak hydrogen bond
For questions 11-15
11. Magnesium Oxide is a combination between Magnesium and oxygen so the formula will be MgO
12. Calcium Chloride is a combination between Calcium and Chlorine, so the formula will be CaCl₂ the ₂ comes from the fact that there is two Chlorine atoms
13. Lithium Sulfide is a combination between Two lithium and a sulfur atoms,
so the formula will be Li₂S The ₂ coming from the two lithium atoms
14. Barium Selenide is a combination between Barium and Selenium so the formula will be BaSe
15. Aluminum Oxide is a combination between Aluminum and Oxygen, there are two Aluminum atoms and three Oxygen atoms, so it will make Al₂O₃
Hope this helps
Answer:
CAT - GGC - TAC mutates to CAT - GGC - TAG
Explanation:
Changes occur in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA molecule. These changes referred to as MUTATION are usually due mistakes during DNA replication or induced by mutagens (mutation-causing substances). Mutation can be of different types depending on the kind of change that occured to the nucleotide sequence. Based on this question, one of the mutation types is SUBSTITUTION MUTATION.
Substitution mutation is a kind of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base replaces another in the sequence.
The option that suits an example of substitution mutation is: CAT - GGC - TAC mutates to CAT - GGC - TAG because Guanine nucleotide replaces Cytosine nucleotide in the third CODON i.e. TAC becomes TAG.
