Biology
1 answer:
Vitek1552 [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • Both DNA, which stores genetic information and encodes protein sequences, and RNA, which is involved in the direct production of proteins, are nucleic acids.
  • Nucleic acids always consist of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups.

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are both made up of chains of nucleotides. They are responsible for holding, transmitting, and translating genetic information into proteins.

Nucleotides are made up of a 5 carbon sugar, (DNA is deoxyribose, RNA is ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. They are linked together by phosphodiester bonds. The sequence of nucleotides makes the DNA and RNA sequences unique and determines the structure and function of the encoded proteins

Which phrases describe radioactive elements? Check all that apply.
svp [43]

A radioactive element is an element which is subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus followed by the emission of alpha, beta and gamma particles. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive.

The given phrases that describe radioactive elements are-

They have a consistent number of particles - the particles are alpha, beta and gamma particles.

They have a half-life that determines their rate of decay.

Explanation for other options:

Not all elements occur in nature. Radioactive decay rates may not be constant as the decay happens when a radioactive substance emits a particle. It is not possible to predict exactly when a given atom of a substance will emit a particular particle. When the radioactive element release energy and particles, it decays.
