Why is the Dna molecule able to open up and close?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]2 years ago

Answer:

The breaking of the hydrogen bonds due to the force relieves the torsional stress stored in a double helix. As a result, the nucleotide strands rotate more freely about the axis of a helix and start unwinding. ... The DNA unzipping and the DNA unwinding result in a structural transformation from dsDNA to ssDNA.

At sea level water usually boils at 100. °C and 760. mmHg pressure. On Mt Whitney, the pressure is about 560. mmHg. At what temp
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

  91.7°C

Explanation:

We suppose you have a formula to work from. However, that is not supplied with this problem statement, so we looked one up.

The formula in the attachment is supposed to have good accuracy in the temperature range of interest. It gives vapor pressure of water in kPa, not mmHg, so we needed the conversion for that, too.

560 mmHg corresponds to about 74.66 kPa. The attached "Buck equation" formula is used to find the corresponding temperature. The exponential equation could be solved algebraically using logarithms and the quadratic formula, but we choose to find the solution graphically.

Water boils at about 91.7 °C on Mt. Whitney.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: The correct answer is Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

Heterogeneous mixture are those mixture in which:

  • Substance is distributed in non uniform manner.
  • Two distinct layers are formed

Thus when water and dirt are mixed together it results in the formation of  a heterogeneous mixture and after sometimes two different layers will be observed.

Hence, in the bottle there is a heterogeneous mixture of water and dirt.

If copper carbonate system is heated for too short a time, what will you notice for mass percent of copper be too large or too s
sammy [17]

Answer:

The mass percent of copper as element is the same.

Explanation:

First of all we need the reaction that is presented below:

CuCO_{3 (s)} +Heat → CuO_{(s)} + CO_{2 (g)}

The mass percent of copper (Cu) as element is the same because of during the reaction the element only transform its nature from copper carbonate (CuCO_{3 (s)}) to copper oxide (CuO_{(s)}), the latter is a solid and will remain in the system.

On the other hand, you will note that the global percentage mass will be small because of the reaction produce (CO_{2 (g)}) that is a gas and this one will escape for the system.  

Have a great day!
