Answer: The part of DNA that the teacher was modelling would be the backbone of DNA.

Explanation:

The DNA is made of double helical structure which is twisted. In the structure of DNA two strands are coiled among each other.

The DNA consists of the nitrogenous bases, phosphate groups and deoxy-ribose sugar.

The backbone of DNA is made up of sugar( alternating )and phosphate group.The nitrogenous bases such as adenine, cytosine ,guanine and thymine are joined to the deoxy-ribose sugar.

This backbone part was part that the teacher was making as a model by using two coiled springs.

How does sulfur in the air get moved to the soil.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Sulfur can also fall directly from the atmosphere in a process called fallout. Also, the weathering of sulfur-containing rocks releases sulfur into the soil. These rocks originate from ocean sediments that are moved to land by the geologic uplifting of ocean sediments.

Different mRNA molecules can have poly-A tails of different lengths. Considering the purpose of adding the poly-A tail (from the
Roman55 [17]

Answer:  Then the longer it is, the more it protects against degradation. Proteins that are needed over a long period of time come from a long tailed mRNA.

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the ribonucleic acid that transfers the genetic code from the DNA of the cell nucleus to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. It determines the order in which the amino acids in a protein will bind and acts as a template or pattern for the synthesis of that protein.

Messenger RNA is synthesized in the cell nucleus in eukaryotes from the process called DNA transcription. <u> In most cases, once this messenger RNA has been synthesized, it must be matured (RNA maturation)</u>. This involves the removal of intercalary sequences called non-coding introns from the protein to be synthesized. Then, the addition of a structure called CAP to the 5' end, which is a modified guanine nucleotide needed for the normal process of DNA transplantation and maintaining its stability. This is critical for proper recognition and access of the ribosome.  Also, polyadenylation which is the addition of the sequence called Poly-A to the 3' end. The Poly-A sequence is made up of several adenine molecules and is located at about 20-30 bp towards the tail (AAPAA sequence) or polyadenylation signal, which protects the end of the mRNA. The polyadenylation helps to increase the period of the message, so that the transcription lasts longer in the cell and therefore more protein is translated and produced.

This mature messenger RNA is transferred to the cell's cytoplasm, in the case of eukaryotes, through pores in the nuclear membrane.  The messenger RNA in the cytoplasm is coupled to the ribosomes, which are the machinery in charge of protein synthesis.<u>  However, after a certain amount of time the mRNA is degraded</u> into its component nucleotides, usually with the help of ribonucleases. So, an mRNA with a short tail will have a shorter lifespan.

Then, proteins that are needed over a long period of time come from a long tailed mRNA. And proteins that are briefly nedded come from a short tailed mRNA. This is because, as explained, the Poly-A tail serves to protect the mRNA molecule from degradation. So, then the longer it is, the more it protects against degradation.
