Answer:
“Mono” denotes one, “di” denotes two, and “poly” denotes a large number.
What is the significance of these words in defining the
three forms of sugars?
These terms are used because they depict how the
molecule appears.
The molecule's base unit is called a "saccharide."
Explanation:
-
The answer is; C
Homologous chromosomes have the same genes on the same loci. However, they may have different forms of the same gene called alleles. These sister chromosomes, of a homologous pair, separate during anaphase I of meiosis. The two daughter cells formed will, therefore, have half the genetic material as the parent cell. This is because they will only have one set of the genes (as in diploid organisms) and are called gametes.
Answer:
If a DNA molecule has 30% Adenine the percentage of the other bases is Thymine: 30% Cytosine: 20% Guanine: 20%.
Explanation:
When the percentage that a base has in a DNA molecule is given, the percentage of the other bases can be known using the Chargaff's base pair rule.
A DNA molecule has the information of the genome of a living being, according to a specific sequence of its nitrogenous bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.
Chargaff was able to establish that in a DNA molecule the ratio of purine : pyrimidine of 1:1, so there must be the same amount of thymine as adenine and a similar amount of guanine for the cytosine, taking into account the complementarity of bases.
Taking into account the law of the base pair, if in a DNA chain there is 30% of Adenine, in the molecule there is:
- <em>Adenine 30%.
</em>
- <em>Thymine 30%.
</em>
- <em>Cytosine 20%.
</em>
- <em>Guanine 20%.
</em>
- <em>Total ..... 100%
</em>
In this case, the <u>Chargaff rule is useful to determine the percentage of nitrogenous bases that exist in a DNA molecule, knowing the percentage of a single base</u>.
