Answer:

From the diagram X = <u>base pairs</u>

Explanation:

Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.

Nucleotides comprise:

  • a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,
  • one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)
  • and a phosphate group.

Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides  Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine,  and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.

Neutrophils They kill and then digest the bacteria and the fungi. They are the most numerous type of the white blood cell and your first line of the defense when the infection strikes.

A high level of neutrophils in the blood is called neutrophilia. This is a sign that your body is infected. Neutrophilia can indicate many underlying conditions and factors, including: Infection, possibly bacteria. They capture and destroy invading microbes through phagocytosis and intracellular degradation, release of granules, and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps upon detection of pathogens. Neutrophils are also involved as inflammatory mediators. What is the most common cause of high neutrophils? infection. This is the most common cause of high neutrophil counts. Most bacterial infections cause elevated neutrophil counts, but not all. Viral infections generally do not cause neutrophilia, but it can occur early in the infection.

Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The creation of DNA fragments with ends that can join with other DNA is achieved by the use of restrictive enzyme analysis.

<h3>What are restriction enzymes?</h3>

They are enzymes utilized in genetic engineering or gene recombination technology to cut DNA at some specific points in other to have sticky ends.

The sticky ends DNAs are able to join with other DNAs using these ends. Another enzyme (Ligase) is utilized to join the DNA back once the desired DNA has been inculcated.
