Let us go over the definitions and the functions of each term:
a) Gene is a bit vague but in general it means a part of DNA that encodes one protein. Genes are the building blocks of our genomes but not the answer to this question.
b)mRNA. This is correct. The name itself means messengerRNA and its role is to copy the genetic information in the nucleus and bring it outside to be translated into protein.
c) ATP is an important molecule in our metabolism; energy is stored in this molecule and then used. It has no relationship to the mechanisms concerning DNA.
d) Thymine is one of the 4 nucleotide bases that are found in DNA, the other three being guanine, cytosine and adenine. They are essential components of a nucleotide (building blocks of DNA and RNA) but again, they do not transfer information out of the nucleus.
Answer:
A. The prism's index of refraction for violet light is greater than 1.35.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. The directionality of the complementary strand is antiparallel. The double-stranded DNA is antiparallel comprising two strands, which run alongside each other, however, point in reverse directions. In a double-stranded molecule of DNA, the 5 prime ends of one strand align with the 3 prime ends of the other strand, and vice versa.
b. The mediation of base pairing is done by non-covalent hydrogen bonds. It is reversible, that is, the strands can separate and can come combined again without any chemical modification.
The specificity of base pairing is illustrated by hydrogen bonds that is, the first strand produces hydrogen bonds only with a particular base in the second strand, and these two bases produce a base-pair.
c. The interaction or association of non-covalent type, that is, hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding. Collectively, they both are strong. In the process, one base associate with the other base on the complementary strand.
d. The phosphate backbone possesses the tendency to associate with water on the outside of the molecule, and this is favorable chemically as both the strands are held together by hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction.
The polar molecules of sugar can produce hydrogen bonds with the surrounding molecules of water. The negatively charged phosphate group associate with the positively charged ions. The nonpolar nitrogen bases are found within the molecule and associate favorably through stacking interactions.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) "All living organisms use energy".
Explanation:
Even though living being use different strategies to obtain energy, an unifying principle among them is that all living organisms use energy to live. Plant use photosynthesis, which allows them to use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to obtain energy. This classifies plant as producers, whereas animals that consume plants are primary consumers, animals that consume the animals that consume plants are second consumers, and so on.
