What is different about your DNA and your pet’s DNA?

Biology
1 answer:
vovikov84 [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are pretty obvious differences between plants and animals, but – at the chemical level – the cells of all plants and all animals contain DNA in the same shape – the famous “double helix” that looks like a twisted ladder. What’s more, all DNA molecules – in both plants and animals – are made from the same four chemical building blocks – called nucleotides.

What is different is how these four nucleotides in DNA are arranged. It’s their sequence that determines which proteins will be made. The way the nucleotides are arranged, and the information they encode, decides whether the organism will produce scales or leaves – legs or a stalk.

Research shows that plants and animals may produce some proteins in common. One prominent example is known as Cytochrome C. But because the DNA copying process is imperfect, mistakes accumulate over time, making Cytochrome C slightly different in different creatures. The gene regions that specify the amino acid sequence in human Cytochrome C are more similar to those in another mammal like a rabbit, and less similar to a more evolutionarily distant creature, like a sunflower.

The schematic of classifying animals and plants in kingdoms is facing competition. More recently an alternative system has arisen, based on evolutionary and molecular information. Cytochrome c is perhaps the canonical or paradigmatic molecule in this approach.

Every species has a characteristic number of chromosomes, called the chromosome number. Animals have more chromosomes; plants have fewer.

In an analysis of the nucleotide composition of DNA, which of the following proportions will be found?
katrin [286]

Answer:

With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).

Explanation:

The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:

  • <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
  • <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>

From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

<em>     5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>

Why does ice become less dense than water?
myrzilka [38]
Ice actually has a very different structure than liquid water, in that the molecules align themselves in a regular lattice rather than more randomly as in the liquid form. It happens that the lattice arrangement allows water molecules to be more spread out than in a liquid, and, thus, ice is less dense than water.

Glycolysis
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

E) can usually make enough ATP for skeletal muscle function

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the main process by which cells obtain energy. During glycolysis, glucose is fully oxidized to obtain ATP, this is the 'fuel' for cellular function. Glycolysis is oxygen dependant, meaning that in order to successfully complete the process, enough oxygen must be available.

There are a few exceptions in which glycolysis is unable to provide enough ATP, an example is strenuous exercise. In this case the speed of oxygen consumption is very high, therefore at some point the oxygen intake is not enough. There are several mechanisms that regulate the production of ATP. In case of strenuous exercise, different process are activated to supply the cell with the necessary energy to keep on functioning.

Among the latter mentioned processes, there is anaerobic production of the oxidation of lactate, that does not require oxygen. Other example is the usage of creatine phosphate to obtain energy. Therefore, muscular cells have many ways of obtaining energy, but this secondary mechanisms are only activated in specific situations.
