Answer:

In case of both DNA and RNA, in general it is the nucleotides.

Nucleotides basically consists of three parts. The sugar(deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA, both of which are pentose sugars), nitrogenous base and a phosphoric acid group.

The only component that varies in the nitrogenous base. There are five different types.

1.Adenine(A)

2.Guanine(G)

3.Cytosine(C)

4.Thymine(T)

5.Uracil(U)

1 and 2 are known as purines.

3, 4 and 5 are known as pyrimidines.

In DNA, A base pairs with T by means of a double hydrogen bond and G pairs with C by means of a triple hydrogen bond.

In RNA, A base pairs with U by means of a double hydrogen bond and G pairs with C by means of a triple hydrogen bond.

You have a column made of nickel-agarose matrix. your protein must have ________ to use this column for affinity chromatography.

belka [17]

<span>Negatively charged R-groups in the primary structure. This is because nickel acts as a cation, therefore you would be attracting anions, in this case it would be on the proteins that would be binding to the column. Once they bind to the matrix a was buffer of high salts can elute the proteins.</span>

If the voltage of this battery was increased,what would happen to the light bulb’s brightness

Degger [83]

Surprisingly, nothing.

Without changing the characteristics of the light bulb, it's not actually possible to change the voltage without changing the current as well. When the voltage is increased, the current through the bulb has to increase as well in order to make it glow brighter.

A type of implant that is surgically inserted in the inferior border of the mandible is a(n) _______________ implant.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Transosteal

Explanation:

One of the ways to get a missing or broken tooth fixed is through dental implants. It can also be used to fix loose teeth. For this to occur, a tooth root is needed to hold in place the dental prosthesis. Dental implants involve surgically fixing of metal frames (surgical component) into the jawbone beneath the gum to serve as the tooth root. This surgical implant, which now serves as a tooth root, enables the dentist to fix a replacement tooth.

<em>Transosteal implant</em> is a type of dental implant in which the surgical component is a U-shaped metal frame or pins that is inserted into the lower jaw followed by the replacement tooth on top during tooth replacement.
