DNA from a newly discovered virus was purified, and UV light absorption was followed as the molecule was slowly heated. The absorbance increase at the melting temperature was only 10%. What does this result tell you about the structure of the viral DNA? Please be sure to make your initial post and respond to at least two classmates with additional questions and comments to further the discussion.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The viral DNA has a sharp thermal transition.

Explanation:

Due to more guanine to cytosine (G-C) bonds in viral DNA, and the extra stability its presence confers, the double stranded Viral DNA is more stable to heat and have a higher melting point.

Hence, even when denatured by heat, the unstacked base pairs in its single strands only absorb ultraviolet light at a minimal rate such as 10% increase or less, before it gets renatured into double stranded DNA again.

Thus, the ability of viral DNA to adjust to thermal (heat) denaturation is the reason.

Answer 2
Final answer:

The low absorbance increase at the melting temperature suggests that the structure of the viral DNA may be more resistant to the heating process, which could mean it has a more complex or compact form than typical DNA.

Explanation:

The UV light absorption data suggests that the newly discovered viral DNA has a unique structure differing from typical DNA. When DNA is heated to its melting temperature, the two strands 'unzip' or separate, leading to an increase in absorbance. A typical increase in absorbance at the melting temperature for ordinary DNA is around 37%. In this case, the increase was only 10%, indicative that the structure may be more resistant to the heating process, perhaps due to additional base-pairing or tighter coils. This suggests that the viral DNA might have a more complex or compact structure compared to typical DNA.

Tropism can be defined as the Choose one: A. ability to infect a particular type of cell within the host. B. mechanism of entry into a host cell for bacteriophages. C. emergence of a new type of virus. D. ability to infect a broad range of hosts.

Answers

Answer:

A. ability to infect a particular type of cell within the host.

Explanation:

In plants, tropism refers to the movement of a plant part in a particular direction in response to any stimulus. In microbiology, tropism refers to the ability of pathogen to infect a particular type of cell in the host.  

The tropism in which a particular cell is infected is called cell tropism. The tropism in which a particular tissue is infected then it is cell tissue tropism. Host tropism is also seen in pathogen when they infect specific host. Stimulus is required for any tropism. So the right answer is A.

Answer:

A) ability to infect a particular type of cell within the host.

Explanation:

Viral tropism refers to the ability of a virus to infect a particular cell, tissue and a host species.

The viruses have to interact with a variety of negative and positive factors in the cell so the viral tropism is determined at different levels of the viral-host interaction that is during replication and viral progeny production.

The viral tropism occurs at two-step and based on this is of two types- the receptor-independent tropism which takes place intracellularly and the receptor-dependent tropism which takes place at the cell surface.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

In a mono hybrid cross of heterozygous pea plant with round (R) yellow (Y) seeds there will be genotype ratio of 9 _____ 3,____ 3,____ and 1____ PLEASE PLEASE HELP IM KIND OF CONFUSED

Answers

Final answer:

The genotype ratio for a monohybrid cross of heterozygous pea plants with round (R) and yellow (Y) seeds is 9 round yellow : 3 round green : 3 wrinkled yellow : 1 wrinkled green. This ratio comes from the dihybrid cross of RrYy plants, reflecting the principle of independent assortment.

Explanation:

In a monohybrid cross of heterozygous pea plants with round (R) and yellow (Y) seeds, the genotype ratio you are asking about is derived from the principle of independent assortment and dominance, leading to a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1 in a dihybrid cross. When focusing on one trait, a monohybrid cross, the ratio simplifies to a 3:1 ratio because each trait segregates independently.

For the dihybrid cross of RrYy (round, yellow) × RrYy, the ratios of expected phenotypes are 9 round yellow : 3 round green : 3 wrinkled yellow : 1 wrinkled green, which corresponds to the same proportions in genotype.

Therefore, the correctly completed sentence would be a genotype ratio of 9 round yellow (RRYY, RRYy, RrYY, RrYy) : 3 round green (RRyy, Rryy) : 3 wrinkled yellow (rrYY, rrYy) : 1 wrinkled green (rryy).

Final answer:

In a mono hybrid cross of heterozygous pea plant with round (R) yellow (Y) seeds, the genotype ratio is 9:3:3:1 for round, yellow seeds : round, green seeds : wrinkled, yellow seeds : wrinkled, green seed.

Explanation:

The mono hybrid cross of a heterozygous pea plant with round (R) yellow (Y) seeds would result in a genotype ratio of 9 round, yellow seeds : 3 round, green seeds : 3 wrinkled, yellow seeds : 1 wrinkled, green seed. This ratio is obtained by applying the product rule to the independent assortment and dominance of the alleles for seed shape and color.

If a compound has a number of individual dipoles, then: I. It is polar overall. II. There is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. III. it is ionic. IV. It doesn't have resonance.

Answers

Answer:

II. There is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms.

Explanation:

In a compound that has a number of individual dipoles(weaker force of attractions between compounds). There exist a weaker intermolecular force of attraction ( Vander waal's forces), these force of attraction arises from fluctuating dipoles in atom molecules brought by the movement of electrons around the atomic nucleus. They possess weak electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms because they have less energy to break these weaker bonds.

Also, individual dipoles can interact with each other in an way which will also increase the boiling point and as boiling point increases there is decrease in electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms.

On the other-hand, A polar compound are ionic compounds and the bonding between them are electrovalent bonding because of their high melting and boiling points. They possess high electronegativity.

Beta ( ???? ) sheets are a type of secondary structure in proteins. A segment of a single chain in an antiparallel ???? sheet has a length of 94.5 Å . How many residues are in this segment?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 27 residues.

Explanation:

In an antiparallel beta sheet, there is a repeat for every 7 Angstrom units and the number of residues is two for every repeat. In an antiparallel sheet that exhibits a length of 94.5 Angstrom, the number of residues can be determined by using the following formula:  

2 residues per every 7 Angstrom,  

Length of the given segment is 94.5 Angstrom

Number of residues in this segment are:  

= (number of segments) * (residues per segment)

= (94.5/7) * 2

= 13.5 * 2

= 27 residues.  

Thus, the number of residues in this segment is 27.  

Beta sheets are a type of secondary structure in proteins where segments of the polypeptide chain are aligned side by side. The number of residues in a segment of an antiparallel beta sheet can be calculated using the formula number of residues = length / distance between adjacent residues.

Beta sheets are one of the two major types of secondary structure in proteins, along with alpha helices. In a beta sheet, segments of the polypeptide chain are aligned side by side, forming a sheet-like structure. The length of a segment in an antiparallel beta sheet can be calculated using the formula length = number of residues * distance between adjacent residues. In this case, the length of the segment is given as 94.5 Å, so we can rearrange the formula to find the number of residues: number of residues = length / distance between adjacent residues.



It's important to note that the distance between adjacent residues in a beta sheet can vary, but a common value used for calculations is 3.5 Å. So, using this value, we can calculate the number of residues: number of residues = 94.5 Å / 3.5 Å = 27 residues.

Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes. For each of the following stages, state the number of chromosomes present in the particular cell. a) metaphase of mitosis b) metaphase I of meiosis c) telophase of mitosis d) telophase I of meiosis e) telophase II of meiosis

Answers

Final answer:

During metaphase of mitosis and metaphase I of meiosis, cells have 46 chromosomes. Following telophase of mitosis, cells also contain 46 chromosomes. However, after telophase I and telophase II of meiosis, cells contain 23 chromosomes.So ,option b) metaphase I of meiosis is correct.

Explanation:

Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes, comprising 23 pairs, with one set from each parent. This diploid state (2n) changes during the process of cell division.

a) metaphase of mitosis: Each cell has 46 chromosomes. The chromosomes align in the center of the cell, but each one still consists of two sister chromatids at this stage.

b) metaphase I of meiosis: Each cell also has 46 chromosomes. However, these are in the form of 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes that will be separated in the next phase.

c) telophase of mitosis: The cell still contains 46 chromosomes, but they are now being divided into two new daughter nuclei.

d) telophase I of meiosis: The two cells created after this phase each have 23 chromosomes, as the homologous pairs have been separated.

e) telophase II of meiosis: After this final phase of meiosis, there are four cells, and each cell has 23 chromosomes—these are the haploid gametes.

when DNA mutations occur they can have a variety of effects on an organism if the DNA is TAC CGA ACC TTA create a mRNA strand with a point mutation that would shorten the protein

Answers

Final answer:

A nonsense mutation in the mRNA sequence can introduce a stop codon, prematurely ending the translation process and therefore shortening the protein. The mutated mRNA sequence for the given DNA would have a point mutation turning the second codon into a stop codon, thus producing a truncated and likely non-functional protein.

Explanation:

To induce a point mutation that shortens the protein, you would create a nonsense mutation in the mRNA sequence. For the original DNA sequence TAC CGA ACC TTA, the corresponding mRNA sequence is AUG GCU UGG AAU. If we introduce a point mutation in the second codon to change it to a stop codon, we can use the stop codon UAA. The mutated mRNA sequence would be AUG UAA UGG AAU. Here, UAA is a stop codon and will cause the translation process to terminate prematurely, therefore shortening the resulting protein.

Nonsense mutations convert a codon that can specify an amino acid into a stop codon (UAA, UAG, UGA), leading to premature termination of translation. This type of mutation can have a profound effect on the protein, as it will be truncated, likely destroying its normal function. This is because the ribosome will cease to translate the mRNA into protein upon reaching the stop codon, resulting in an incomplete and non-functional protein product.

Mutations can profoundly impact an organism by altering its proteins. Depending on where the mutation occurs, the consequences may be mild or severe. Inducing such mutations intentionally can be a valuable tool for research but can be detrimental when they occur naturally and disrupt the organism's biological functions.

Which of the following is NOT true regarding the sounds associated with the heart? Select one: a. The "lub-dub" sound originates from the physical act of the heart contracting. b. The "lub-dub" sound originates from blood turbulence through the heart.

Answers

Final answer:

The 'lub-dub' sound we hear is the sound of the heart valves closing, not the contraction of the heart muscle. The 'lub' is the sound of the mitral and tricuspid valves closing, while the 'dub' is the sound of the aortic and pulmonic valves closing.

Explanation:

The statement 'a. The "lub-dub" sound originates from the physical act of the heart contracting' is NOT true regarding the sounds associated with the heart. The "lub-dub" sound we hear is actually made by the closing of heart valves, not the contractions of the heart muscle itself. Specifically, the "lub" is the sound of the mitral and tricuspid valves closing at the beginning of systole (an active phase when your heart pumps blood), while the "dub" is the sound of the aortic and pulmonic valves closing at the beginning of diastole (a resting phase when your heart fills with blood).

Explanation:

The question is asking which statement is NOT true about the origins of the heart sounds. The answer to this is b, "The "lub-dub" sound originates from blood turbulence through the heart." It is not correct because the "lub-dub" sounds, known medically as S1 and S2, are primarily caused by the closing of the heart valves, not by blood turbulence.

Businesses that consists of many varying departments won't be dependent wholly on face to face communication. Therefore, it is necessary to have other forms of communication being utilized often. Examples of such Forms: email, phone, radio, etc.

In order to establish an effective route of communication that each sector of the organization feeds from, skilled communication professionals is necessary to be placed at every sector or place of business.

Answers

Pedigree attached

Answer:

1)  2/3

2) 1/2

3) 1/12

Explanation:

1) Individual III.1 is affected. He inherited one r allele from his carrier mother, but must also have inherited another allele from his father, who's genotype we are not told. His father is unaffected, but because III.1 is affected, must be a carrier with the genotype Rr. Therefore, the parents of III.3 have are Rr x Rr. We can carry out a punnett square to assess probabilities

           R     r

 R     RR    Rr

 r        Rr     rr

The probability of him inheriting an r from either parent is 1/2 (as there is 50% chance of being Rr in the punnet square). However, we already know that he is not rr (he is unaffected and has a R allele), so that means 2/3 of the options involve him being a carrier

2) The probability III.4 is a carrier can be calculated because we have the genotypes of her parents, RR x Rr

           R     R

 R     RR    RR

 r        Rr     Rr

The probability III.4 is a carrier is 1/2 but with no possibility that she is affected.

3) If both parents were carriers, there would be a 1/4 chance that individual IV.1 would be affected, see punnet square below:

           R     r

 R     RR    Rr

 r        Rr     rr

Only rr genotype is affected, so the probability is 1:4. However, there is only 1/2 probability that their mother is affected and 1/2 that their father is. To work out their probability based on this we have to multiply the probabilities: 2/3 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/12

Final answer:

The probabilities that the parents III-3 and III-4 are carriers of a recessive genetic trait are both 1/2, while the probability of their child inheriting the condition is 1/4.

Explanation:

This question is asking about the probability of individuals III-3 and III-4 being carriers of a recessive genetic condition and the probability of their child being affected. Since we're dealing with a recessive genetic trait, if both parents are heterozygous carriers (Rr), the chance that any one of their children will be a carrier is 50% or 1/2. This applies to the probabilities that III-3 and III-4 are carriers. The chance that their child IV-1 will be affected (rr) is 1/4, as in classical Mendelian inheritance, when both parents are heterozygous carriers, there is a 25% chance for the child to inherit two recessive alleles.

glucose-6-phosphatefructose-6-phosphatefructose-1,6-bisphosphateglyceraldehyde-3-phosphatedihydroxyacetone phosphate1,3-bisphosphoglycerate3-phosphoglycerate2-phosphoglyceratephosphoenolpyruvate

Answer:

The procedure in which glucose gets dissociated into pyruvate and generates energy in the form of ATP is known as glycolysis. The process takes place in the cytosol and can get differentiated into two phases, that is, the preparatory phase that required energy in the form of ATP and the pay-off phase in which the production of ATP takes place.  

Post glycolysis, the process of cellular respiration takes place in which the eventual outcomes, that is, two pyruvates are further used. Of the mentioned intermediates, the intermediates that are used in the first half of the pathway are glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.  

The intermediates used in the second half of the pathway are 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, 3-phosphoglycerate, 2-phosphoglycerate, and phosphoenolpyruvate.  

The solutions listed below are in two arms of a tube separated by a semipermeable membrane. The solution in the left arm is given first. In which case the osmotic flow proceeds from the right to the left arm? Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the couple: 0.010 M NaCl | 0.010 M CH₃COOH

Explanation:

A semipermeable membrane allows to pass through solvent molecules but not solute molecules. In this case, all solutions have the same molarity (M) but they do not have the same quantity of solute particles because some of them dissociate in two or more ions (van't Hoff factor i is higher than 1) . Osmotic flow proceeds always from the side with lower concentration of solute (with more solvent molecules) to the side with higher concentration of solute. For each pair of solution, we have to determine the number of particles of solute or the van't Hoff factor (i). If the right side has the lower concentration of solute (higher i), the osmotic flow will proceed from the right to the left.

0.010 M NH3(aq) |  0.010 M NaCl(aq): NH₃ is a nonelectrolyte (i=1) and NaCl has i= 2. Osmotic flow proceeds from left to the right.

0.010 M NaCl(aq) |  0.010 M FeCl3(aq): NaCl has i=2 and FeCl₃ has i=3 (it dissociates in Fe⁺ and 3 Cl⁻). Osmotic flow proceeds from left to the right.

0.010 M NaCl(aq) |  0.010 M CH3COOH(aq): NaCl has i=2 and CH₃COOH is a nonelectrolyte (i=1). The lower concentration is in the right side, so the osmotic flow proceeds from right to left.

0.010 M NaCl(aq) |  0.010 M CaCl2(aq): NaCl has i=2 and CaCl₂ has i=3 (it dissociates in Ca⁺ and 2 Cl⁻). The lower concentration is in the left side so the osmotic flow proceeds from left to right.

0.010 M CaCl2(aq) |  0.010 M FeCl3(aq): CaCl₂ has i=3 and FaCl₃ has i=4 (it dissociates in Fe⁺ and 3 Cl⁻), so the lower concentration is in the left side and osmotic flow proceeds from left to right.

In the given case, the osmotic flow proceeds from the right to the left arm - 0.010 M NaCl(aq) | 0.010 M CH3COOH(aq)

Osmotic flow

It is the spontaneous flow of molecules of the solvent through a semipermeable membrane. The flow would be for the zone of high concentration in order to achieve equal concentration on both sides.

Since we have to apply the pressure on the left arm of the tube to stop osmosis. It indicates that the solution in the left arm is hypertonic to the one in the right arm of the tube.

A 1475 kg car with a speed of 66.5 km/h brakes to a stop. How many cal of heat are generated by the brakes as a result?

Answers

Answer:22.180

Explanation:divide the two together then use the first three number after the decimal.

.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's start by stating that the work done here would be determined by taking into account the following:

-External forces

-Change in kinetic energy

Work Energy theorem is fully going to guide the solution to this problem.

Let's go now:

Mass of car = 1475kg

Velocity of car= 66.5km/h

Velocity = 66.5km/h * 0.278

V = 18.472 m/s

Kinetic Energy (K.E) = 1/2(mv^2)

K.E = 0.5 * 1475 * 18.472^2

K.E = 737.5 * 341.214

K.E = 251645.90 kgm^2/s^2

1kgm^2/s^2 = 1 Joule

So therefore,

K.E = 251645.90 Joules

K.E = 60.144KCals

Please describe the environmental issue in Borneo concerning conservation of the rainforest (a global hot spot) and the orangutans. What grassroots tools were used to improve the conservation and allow the regrowth of the rainforest?

Answers

Answer:

Borneo Island was once home to one of the most majestic forests in the world. During the 80s and 90s, Borneo underwent a profound transformation. Their forests were demolished at an unprecedented speed. Its rainforests ended in countries like Japan and the United States in the form of garden furniture, paper pulp and chopsticks. Today, the remaining forests are threatened by the new biofuel market, especially palm oil. As a result, large tracts of land are being transformed to oil palm plantations.

Explanation:

The jungles of Borneo were considered one of the wildest and pristine jungles of the planet, home to nomadic tribes and important populations of orangutans, pygmy elephants and rhinos. Currently, the traditions of these tribes have disappeared, rhinos are almost extinct, and orangutans and elephants are in danger. Otherwise, the rainforests of Borneo have gone from being a net carbon sink, which absorbed greenhouse gases, to being a carbon source, thus contributing to climate change along with deforestation and fires.

Conservation is a priority in Borneo, especially in biologically diverse regions that have escaped intensive logging and fires. The initiative called "Heart of Borneo" is an example of what can be achieved. It is essential that forests be restored. The use of native tree species should be encouraged through financial incentives and education programs, especially with the help of external governments, NGOs and private foundations. In addition, there is a possibility that under future climate agreements, reforestation could pay direct dividends stimulating the local economy and entrepreneurship in the villages.

Duroc Jersey pigs are typically red, but a sandy variation is also seen. When two different varieties of true-breeding sandy pigs were crossed to each other, they produced F1 offspring that were red. When these F1 offspring were crossed to each other, they produced red, sandy, and white pigs in a 9:6:1 ratio. Explain this pattern of inheritance in terms of number of genes, and any allele or gene interactions.

Answers

Answer:

The sandy variation could be as a result of a homozygous recessive allele at one of two varying genes in these two different types of sandy pigs. Let's refer to them as genes A and B.

A kind of sandy pig may be aaBB and the variety AAbb. The F1 generation in this cross produces heterozygotes for both genes to give all red. This indicates that the A and B alleles are dominant. In the F2 generation, 6 out of 16 give us homozygous for either the aa or bb alleles and produces sandy.

Out of 16 will we have one that would be doubly homozygous and be white. The other 9 will possess at least one dominant allele for both genes.

Answers

Answer:. Nondisjunction during meiosis I in either the male and female gamete

The failure of   homologous chromosome to separate at mitosis,  or failure of sister chromatids  to separate at Anaphase of  meiosis I or ii is called  non-disjunction.

 In this  cell division anomaly the  unsegregated chromosomes  are  separated  into  cells as single chromosomes, therefore extra copies are  therefore inherited.This  result is one of the cell having an extra copies of  chromosomes than others( chromosomes 21.

If this extra  chromosome copies  is segregated into a sperm or egg, the resulting zygote cells will   have extra  copy as  chromosome 21, and hence Down syndrome.

→It is more common in Meiosis 1 than ii,because of longer duration of the first stage of division than meiosis ii,given rooms to errors.

→Most common in women(with age increase)  than men because of exchange of telomeres in   them,which  worsen with age. Their Meiotic mechanism  which   weaken with age, and  more prone to errors compare to men,
