"Spent" nuclear fuel rods come out of a reactor and need to be handled carefully. Why must power plants spend so much money and

Leni [432]

The rods originally contain the fuel for nuclear reactions, which mean they are highly radioactive. The radiation they emit is very dangerous and harmful to all types of life; therefore, they must be handled with care and disposed of properly to minimize damage because of them.

How does DNA make protein?

77julia77 [94]

When a cell makes a protein the instructions are copied from part of the DNA strand and transcribed to new molecule, called RNA. RNA molecules carry the instruction from the nucleus to ribosomes.

1. What are Chargaff's rules?

kotegsom [21]

1)Chargaff's rules state that DNA from any cell of any organisms should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equal to thymine. This pattern is found in both strands of the DNA.

2)DNA structure

DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.

3)A nucleotide consists of three things: A nitrogenous base, which can be either adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine (in the case of RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil). A five-carbon sugar, called deoxyribose because it is lacking an oxygen group on one of its carbons. One or more phosphate groups.

4)DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative because of this process of replication, where the resulting double helix is composed of both an old strand and a new strand. ... Semiconservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand.

5)The diagram has show in above.

6)complementary base pairing is necessary because the double helix shape would not be the same if not. Doubles would only pair with doubles and the singles to singles.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.
