What do you predict would happen if hydrogen bonds formed between any two nitrogenous bases in DNA ?

Biology
1 answer:
katovenus [111]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

I believe replication would not be possible, therefore the DNA would cease to help recreate cells which are essential to the human body.

Explanation:

This question by far is highly interesting, in fact it is very controversial too. However, with the sudden beginning of an actual hydrogen bond forming within nitrogenous bases, then replication would not be possible. This is so because replication relies only on nitrogenous bases rather than hydrogenous bonds. Therefore, resulting in a possible defect in the process of replicating to occur. However, if possible, I believe there might be even a chance of a mutation to occur, yet that is highly rare given the stance that the DNA molecule would not be able to pretty much do anything if that were to occur.

What is the function Alveoli?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The main function of the alveoli is storage of air for a shorter period which permits absorption of oxygen into the blood. The gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide typically takes place in the alveoli. The main function of the bronchiole is to allow the passage of air freely into the lungs

Answer:

Orchids have some unique features which help them in the evolutionary race. They produce masses of pollen (which improves the chances of pollination), very light seeds (which makes them easier to spread) and can grow on other plants using them to support their own growth.

In biological systems, there are several membrane transport systems responsible for the passage of ions like Na+ and K+.
dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a. True.

Explanation:

There are several membrane transport systems responsible for the passage of ions like Na+ and K+.

Cell membranes are semipermeable, which means they can regulate which molecules may and cannot flow through them. Some molecules may simply drift in and out of a cell (this is called simple diffusion), while others require specific structures to enter and exit (this type of diffusion is called facilitated diffusion), and still, others require an energy boost to pass the cell membrane (this is known as active transport).

Both simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport: they happen without the energy boost that ATP gives, unlike active transport.

In passive transport, molecules follow their chemical gradients and travel through the most concentrated compartment to the less concentrated one to equal the concentrations. In active transport, on the other hand, the cell makes an effort to enter or exit ions against their chemical gradients and this is done particularly to maintain said gradients (they are required for the correct functioning of the cell).

Sodium and Potassium are two of the most important ions when it comes to maintaining these gradients: sodium is very concentrated in the outside of the cells (the extracellular compartment), while potassium is highly concentrated in the intracellular compartment. These differences in concentrations are maintained thanks to the Na+/K+ pump, a form of active transport. Apart from the Na+/K+ pump, these ions go through the membrane through passive transport as well, without requiring energy.
