How many times longer is DNA than it is wide?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

About 200 km 7.

Answer 2

DNA is approximately six times longer than it is wide after measurements.

DNA is a 2-nanometer-diameter double-stranded molecule. Rise per base pair is 0.34 nanometers. Divide length by width to calculate length-to-width ratio. The length-to-width ratio is 6:1 due to DNA's stable diameter and base pair distance. DNA is six times longer than broad.

DNA stores and encodes genetic information efficiently in this elongated shape. DNA molecules can range from a few hundred base pairs in bacterial genomes to millions or billions in sophisticated animals. DNA stores and transmits life's genetic blueprints because it's longer than it is wide.

Which of the following is typical of aerobic respiration?


decreases a plant’s weight

contains two stages, glycolysis and fermentation

produces methane as a byproduct

produces little energy

Answers

Answer:

decreases a plant’s weight

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is a process of respiration in which oxygen is required and the byproducts of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide, water and energy.

Plants undergo aerobic respiration and it is a catabolic process in which complex compounds in plants turns into simpler compounds. This process reduces the dry weight of the plants.

Glycolysis is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration so it is not a typical aerobic respiration.

Hence, the correct answer is "decreases a plant’s weight".

Meiosis creates four daughter cells that have identical genetic information to the parent cells.


Meiosis creates two daughter cells that have identical genetic information to the parent cells.

Answers

Search I’m safari there is the answer I think

Meiosis is the reductional division which creates four daughter cells that have identical genetic information to the parent cells. Thus, the correct option is C.

What is Meiosis?

Meiosis is a special type of cell division which is also called as reductional division. This division takes place in the germ cells in sexually reproducing organisms which results into production of gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. Meiosis involves two rounds of division which ultimately result in the formation of four cells with only one copy of each chromosome or half genetic content.

Meiosis is divided into two divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In which, Meiosis II is similar to Mitosis and Meiosis I involves the reduction of genetic material to half.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Heterozygous Plants

Heterozygous Plants means those plants which have two different alleles that means One dominant allele (i.e. A here) and One recessive allele (i.e. a here). These Organisms inherit a different version from each parent. In a heterozygous genotype, the dominant allele overrules the recessive one.

If we look at the punnet square given in the attachment, the Box 1 and 3 have genotype Aa which is a HETEROZYGOUS DOMINANT PLANT while box 2 and 4 have a genotype aa which is a HOMO-ZYGOUS RECESSIVE PLANT thus the answer is Box 1 and 3

Answers

In this activity, students learn about the Human Genome Project. They do an interactive Web activity which simulates the process scientists use to determine the sequence of chromosomal DNA bases. Then they learn how two teams of scientists raced to decode the human genome. Next they explore a stretch of sequenced DNA on the Web to learn about the function of different sections of DNA code. They learn how knowledge of the human genome is being applied to medicine. They also learn about genetic variation among humans and between humans and other species. Finally, they assess what they have learned about the Human Genome Project by playing a game of Jeopardy.

Objectives

Learn about the purpose and work of the Human Genome Project

Describe the process of sequencing human DNA

Understand the functions of different stretches of code on a chromosome

Recognize the similarity in the genetic code among humans and between humans and other species

Learn how the Human Genome Project can contribute to curing diseases
