konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

DNA template sequence:  

5' TGACCAAGT 3'

RNA antisense sequence: 3' UGACCAAGU 5'

>>> RNA sense sequence (transcript) : UGAACCAGU

Explanation:

In the DNA molecule, four types of nitrogenous bases are found: cytosine (C), and guanine (G), adenine (A) and thymine (T). In DNA the bases pair up with each other in the following ways: A pairs with T by two hydrogen bonds, while C pairs with G by three hydrogen bonds. In RNA (i.e., transcript sequence), T is replaced by uracil (U). Moreover, the RNA nucleotide sequence is read in the direction 5' to 3'.

A person had bread and butter for his breakfast. Trace the changes in the main components of these during its passage through th
Papessa [141]

When the bread and butter is in mouth, mechanical digestion starts. The size of the food gets reduced and it mixes with saliva for easy swallowing. The salivary amylase in saliva begins the digestion of starch in the bread. This is the start of chemical digestion. When the undigested bread and butter reached the stomach, lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allow the chewed food to enter. The gastric secretions containing HCl, acts on the undigested food to produce chime. HCl kill the microorganism on the food and also denatures the protein and later attacked by digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin breakdown protein in the bread, butter . Later on gastric lipase begins to digest fat present in butter. Digestion of the starch in bread does not occur in the stomach because the salivary amylase that began chemical digestion in mouth became inactive in the presence of HCl. Further the chime enters the small intestine where bile secreted by the gall bladder emulsifies the fat and break into small globule which helps in fat absorption.
