Biology

Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. In DNA, there are four types of nucleotides each containing one of four nitrogenous bases: guanine (G), cytosine (C), adenine (A), thymine (T).

  • The monomer exhibited in the figure is a NUCLEOTIDE, i.e., a purine (Adenine) nucleotide.

  • A nucleotide is a molecule composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA) and a phosphate group.

  • Purine bases consist of a double‐ring structure having four nitrogen (N) atoms and five carbons (C) atoms.

DNA Polymerase helps copy a DNA molecule during the process of what?
PtichkaEL [24]
The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes are essential to DNA replication and usually work in pairs to create two identical DNA strands from one original DNA molecule. During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones.

Every time a cell divides, DNA polymerase is required to help duplicate the cell’s DNA, so that a copy of the original DNA molecule can be passed to each of the daughter cells. In this way, genetic information is transmitted from generation to generation.

Before replication can take place, an enzyme called helicase unwinds the DNA molecule from its tightly woven form. This opens up or “unzips” the double stranded DNA to give two single strands of DNA that can be used as templates for replication.

DNA polymerase adds new free nucleotides to the 3’ end of the newly-forming strand, elongating it in a 5’ to 3’ direction. However, DNA polymerase cannot begin the formation of this new chain on its own and can only add nucleotides to a pre-existing 3'-OH group. A primer is therefore needed, at which nucleotides can be added. Primers are usually composed of RNA and DNA bases and the first two bases are always RNA. These primers are made by another enzyme called primase.

Although the function of DNA polymerase is highly accurate, a mistake is made for about one in every billion base pairs copied. The DNA is therefore “proofread” by DNA polymerase after it has been copied so that misplaced base pairs can be corrected. This preserves the integrity of the original DNA strand that is passed onto the daughter cells.

Structure of DNA polymerase

The structure of DNA polymerase is highly conserved, meaning their catalytic subunits vary very little from one species to another, irrespective of how their domains are structured. This highly conserved structure usually indicates that the cellular functions they perform are crucial and irreplaceable and therefore require rigid maintenance to ensure their evolutionary advantage.

What happens to salinity if the rate of evaporation is greater than precipitation? Why?​
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

What happens when water's salinity increases?

A combination of high salinity and low temperature makes seawater so dense that it sinks to the bottom of the ocean and flows across ocean basins as deep, slow currents.

What happens to local salinity when evaporation rates increase?

Salinity is the saltiness of seawater. Salinity is measured by the concentration of grams of salt per kilogram of water. ... What happens to local salinity when evaporation rates increase: Rises 5.

How is salinity related to evaporation and precipitation?

Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.
