Answer:

Peroxidase is an enzyme found in a wide variety of organisms, from plants to humans to bacteria.

Apply concepts How did you know which bases to use when you transcribed the DNA sequence to mRNA codons?
allsm [11]

In transcription, the mRNA strand is formed by complementary base pairing of the template DNA strand. However we should note that the nitrogenous bases in mRNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and

Uracil

, while those in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and

Thymine

.

So the mRNA strand would be formed by matching the

A in DNA with U in mRNA

,

T in DNA with A in mRNA

,

C in DNA with G in mRNA

and

<span>G in DNA with C in mRNA</span>

The answer is to add a 0 hours control.

In every experiment, the control group is necessary. That way, effects of all variables except the independent one will be minimized. The<span> independent variable is variable that is not affected in the experiment. In this example, the amount of light. The dependent variable is called dependent because it depends on the independent variables. In this example, the dependent variable is the average volume of oxygen (photosynthesis).
But to minimize effects on variables, it is necessary to include the 0 hours group, so it can be compared to the other groups. </span>
