Full Question (figure attached):

Nucleic acid segments and ar

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that can store biological information based on the sequence of their nucleotide monomers. Figure 1 shows a short segment of each of the two types of nucleic acids. Which of the following best describes a structural difference between DNA and RNA?

A. DNA contains four types of nitrogenous bases, whereas RNA contains only two types of nitrogenous bases

B. The backbone of DNA contains deoxyibose, whereas the backbon e of RNA contains ribose.

C. A DNA molecule is composed of two parallel strands with the same 5'-3' directionality, whereas an RNA molecule is composed of only one strand

D. Phosphate groups provide rigidity to DNA, but RNA is flexible and contains no phosphate groups

Answer:

B. The backbone of DNA contains deoxyibose, whereas the backbon e of RNA contains ribose.

Explanation:

A. DNA contains four types of nitrogenous bases, whereas RNA contains only two types of nitrogenous bases - this is false. Both contain four types of nitrogenous bases. DNA contains cytosine, guanine, adenosine and thymine, whereas RNA contains cytosine, guanine, adenine, and uracil.

B. The backbone of DNA contains deoxyibose, whereas the backbon e of RNA contains ribose. - this is true, each nucleotide in DNA contains a deoxyribose sugar, whereas each nucleotide in RNA contains a ribose sugar

C. A DNA molecule is composed of two parallel strands with the same 5'-3' directionality, whereas an RNA molecule is composed of only one strand - this is false. DNA is composed of 2 strands, and RNA is composed of one, but the DNA strands run in an anti-parallel configuration (one runs 5'-3', the other runs 3'-5')

D. Phosphate groups provide rigidity to DNA, but RNA is flexible and contains no phosphate groups - this is false, both DNA and RNA nucleotides contain phosphate groups

What is the average for tge following set of measurements 7.1g,9.8g,2.3g,8.5g,7.4g,5.7g,
eduard

To get an average, you must add all of the numbers together, and divide that sum by the amount of numbers there are. There are 6 number, which is what we must divide by.

7.1+9.8+2.3+8.5+7.4+5.7= 40.8\\40.8/6=6.8

6.8g is the average for the set of measurements.

Please Help. Compare the energy input and output for nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
Andrew [12]

Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions in which energy is released from high-powered atomic bonds between the particles within the nucleus. The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one. Comparison chart Embed this chart Nuclear Fission, Nuclear Fission is the splitting of a large atom into two or more smaller ones. Fusion is the fusing of two or more lighter atoms into a larger one. Natural occurrence of the process: Fission reaction does not normally occur in nature. Fusion occurs in stars, such as the sun. Byproducts of the reaction: Fission produces many highly radioactive particles. Few radioactive particles are produced by fusion reaction, but if a fission "trigger" is used, radioactive particles will result from that. Conditions: Critical mass of the substance and high-speed neutrons are required. High density, high temperature environment is
