1. If a strand is given to you, and you have to identify whether it is DNA or RNA how will you identify it?

1 answer:

3 0

One big way to tell a difference is that DNA is double stranded, in the shape of a double helix, while RNA is single stranded. (This is why RNA can leave the nucleus and DNA cannot) There are also factors that affect the difference like how DNA contains thymine, and when RNA makes copies of it, it becomes uracil.

Nikitich [7]

Enzymes are made of strings of amino acids chemically bonded to one another. These bonds give each enzyme a unique structure, which determines its function. They mostly break down carbohydrates and fats. Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The correct answer is: exonuclease activity.

Explanation:

DNA Polymerase is an enzyme of critical importance for the replication of the DNA. DNA needs to be replicated so, when entering Mitosis, each daughter cell can have a copy of the genetic material they need.

DNA Polymerase has an exonuclease activity in which mismatched nucleotides are removed from the newly replicated DNA strand in order to prevent mutations that can lead to malfunctioning or harmful proteins.

The rate of firing of the postsynaptic neuron depends on the amount of ______ input it receives from the presynaptic neuron.

DIA [1.3K]

The correct answer is d. both excitation and inhibition.

There is a process which is called summation and it refers to the process that determines whether or not an action potential (on postsynaptic neuron) will be generated by the combined effects of excitatory and inhibitory signals (from the presynaptic neurons). Depending on the sum total of inputs, summation may or may not reach the threshold voltage to trigger an action potential (firing of postsynaptic potential).
