Biology
1 answer:
azamat3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid. ... Each molecule contains a central carbon (C) atom, called the α-carbon, to which both an amino and a carboxyl group are attached.

The R-groups are different and unique

slega [8]

Answer:

1:1:1:1 walnut comb

Explanation:

If a cross is made between a female who is RRpp (rose comb) and a male who is rrPP (pea comb)  then:

P: RRpp  x  rrPP

F1: RrPp RrPp RrPp RrPp

This means that all of the offspring in F1 generation will have heterozygous genotype (at both loci). Since it contains both dominant alleles, the phenotype is walnut comb.

A car accelerates from 4 meters/second to 16 meters/second in 4 seconds. The car's acceleration is
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

3 meter / second square.

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as change in velocity over a period of time interval. Mathematically it can be written as,

acceleration = change in velocity / time

acceleration =  16- 4 (meters/second) / 4 seconds

acceleration = 12 meters/second / 4 seconds

acceleration =  3 meter / second square.

So the answer shows that the car accelerates 3 meter / second square.

Andre45 [30]

The use of a thermophilic DNA polymerase such as Taq polymerase prevents the denaturation of the enzyme during the heating that is important to separate the newly synthesized strand. So using this enzyme simplifies the PCR technique and increases its efficiency.

Taq DNA polymerase is highly efficient, when it reaches the optimum temperature, it becomes fully functional. It also has a half-life of over two hours (at 92°C), high amplification capacity, and it can add upto 150 nucleotides per second.  It is "special" enzyme because it comes from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus, which lives in hot springs. It is therefore thermostable even at high temperatures, while other polymerases (e.g. E. coli) are not.
