Answer:
AZT is a thymidine analog
Explanation:
Azidothymidine (AZT) is an antiviral drug used for the treatment of the Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV/AIDS) by preventing the transmission of HIV from infected cells. AZT is capable of suppressing the activity of the enzyme reverse transcriptase of the retroviral HIV genome, which enables it to copy RNA into DNA. In infected cells, this double-stranded DNA is integrated into the host genome which is then instructed to produce identical HIV copies. AZT is a thymidine analog that is incorporated into DNA and thus interferes with DNA synthesis, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation.
One primary function of setting things fall apart is to paint a portrait of a specific culture
Answer:
I feel it's to easily differentiate the positive from the negative...... like in gram staining of bacteria, the colour tell us which bacteria is gram positive or gram negative...... I just feel that this is science and it is advisable to know what the opposite result of an experiment should look like.
Answer:
A. Sex chromosome.. Example.. Turner's syndrome
The correct answer is: 5) NER recognizes helix distortions, while BER recognizes specific base damage.
DNA damage that occurs as a result of radiation, oxidizing reagents, chemicals and other mutagens can be repaired. Excision repair repairs single strand DNA damage and it includes:
• Nucleotide excision repair (NER)-it detects and repairs types of damage that distort the DNA double helix such as those of UV radiation (thymine dimers); not only the damaged nucleotide(s) are removed but also a surrounding patch of DNA
• Base excision repair (BER)-it detects and removes certain types of damaged bases (small, non-helix-distorting bases); enzyme glycosylase is responsible for this type of repair
