Because the nucleic acid is damaged, so how is it going to produce anything without a miracle?
Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell<span>, and, by directing the process of </span>protein synthesis<span>, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing.

So if that is damaged then, of course, you would be out of luck.
The balanced equation is:
BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) ----> BaSO4(s)+ 2 NaCl(aq)
This is a double replacement reaction.
The reactants are:
a) BaCl2: barium chloride, a ionic compound, therefore soluble in water,
b) Na2SO4: sodium sulfate, another ionic compound, therefore also soluble in water.
The products are:
c) BaSO4: barium sulfate, a solid not soluble in water which precipitates.
d) NaCl: sodium chloride, an ionic compound, therefore soluble in water.
The balanced equation is Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
Step 1. Write the <em>unbalanced equation
</em>
Mg + AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg(NO₃)₂ + Ag
Step 2. Start with the<em> most complicated-looking formula</em> [Mg(NO₃)₂] and balance its atoms.
Mg: Already balanced —1 atom each side.
N: We need 2 N on the left. Put a 2 in front of AgNO₃.
1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg(NO₃)₂ + Ag
O: Already balanced —6 atom6 each side.
Step 3: Balance <em>Ag</em>
We have 2Ag on the left. We need 2Ag on the right.
1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
B. Slower than the gas is the answer
