DNA is called a DOUBLE helix. Why would the structure of DNA
be referred to as double? (hint: number of strands, or sides?)
PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The model is called a double helix because two long strands twist around each other like a twisted ladder. The rails of the ladder are made of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules. The steps of the ladder are made of two bases joined together with either two or three weak hydrogen bonds.

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?

Answers

Answer: IMA = Fr/Fe

Explanation:  

IMA stands for Ideal Mechanical advantage.

The IMA of pulley system can be defined as the ratio of output force to input force.

From the given pulley system,

The input force = Fe

The output force = Fr  

Hence, IMA of the given pulley system,

IMA = Fr/Fe

2. Name a microbe that lacks a cell wall and would find hypotonic environments detrimental.

Answers

Answer:

I so I am also a bit confused, but I hope this could answer your question!

Explanation:

The bacteria possess a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan molecule formed by the amino acids called murine.  The bacterial cell wall helps in the survival of the bacteria in some extreme condition like when placed in a hypotonic solution.

The hypotonic solution is formed when it has low solute concentration and high water amount when compared. When the bacterial cell will be placed in hypotonic solution then the water will move inside the cell down the concentration gradient as a result of which the bacterial cell will swell but will not burst.

This happens as the cell wall contains expansin protein which allows the cell wall to expand and provides rigidity to the cell.

Imagine that you are standing in a field and you see a group of butterflies. You notice an individual butterfly that looks significantly different from the others in the population. Its difference allows the butterfly to escape predation more efficiently than the other butterflies. How might this trait have arisen in the individual

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Mutation is a sudden change in the genome of an organism that is heritable.

Mutation occur due to a spontaneous change in the sequence of a gene, it can occur during DNA (deoxyribonucliec acid) replication, mitosis, meiosis. Some mutation are beneficial, some are detrimental while some could be deleterious. Mutation is a rare occurrence usually one in several hundreds or thousand

The unique traits that was reveal in the bird is due to mutation, it is beneficial because it kept it away from predation it is a rare case.

In the fourth century BC, Aristotle observed a phenomenon in which he saw a circular shadow on the Moon. He argued that Earth was a sphere based on this observation. What phenomenon caused the shadow on the Moon? *


a solar eclipse

a lunar eclipse

a spring equinox

a summer solstice

Answers

Answer:

a lunar eclipse

Explanation:

The shadow that Aristotle saw was caused by a lunar eclipse. At that time the sun, earth, and the moon nearly straight alignment caused the Earth's shadow to be reflected on the moon. This shadow is what ultimately led Aristotle to believe that the Earth was a sphere. This should not be confused with a solar eclipse which is similar but instead the sun, moon, and earth align in that order which causes the moon to completely block the sun to anyone on earth.

The respiratory rate times the tidal volume corrected for the dead air space in the lungs is the __________.

a. vital capacity
b. respiratory minute volume
c. pulmonary ventilation rate
d. alveolar ventilation rate
e. external respiration rate

Answers

Answer:

d. alveolar ventilation rate

Explanation:

Alveolar Ventilation rate (AVR) refers to the rate of airflow that reaches the alveoli which is available for gas exchange with the blood in a given unit of time. AVR is generally calculated as the amount in millimeters of air expired that equilibrates (i.e., exchanges) with alveolar gas per min unit (ml/min). AVR is affected by breathing frequency, tidal volume ( i.e., the normal amount of air between inhalation and exhalation), and the amount of dead space in the lungs.

Explanation:

The trait for tall pea plants is (T) and the trait for short pea plants is (t). The trait for smooth pea plants is (R) and the trait for wrinkled is (r).Two plants are crossed producing a F1 generation of plants with 612 tall and smooth pea plants and 188 short and wrinkled pea plants.What would be the most likely genotype of the parental generation?

Answers

Answer:

P generation = TtRr × TtRr i.e both parents were heterozygote for both traits

Explanation:

This question involves two genes encoding the height and texture in pea plants respectively. The alleles for tall and smooth pea traits are dominant over the alelles for short and wrinkled traits.

According to this question, two plants are crossed to produce F1 offsprings as follows: 612 tall and smooth pea plants and 188 short and wrinkled pea plants.

First, we turn this derived number of offsprings into ratio by dividing by the smallest number (188)

612/188 : 188/188

3.25 : 1

Approximately; we can say this is 3 (tall and smooth) : 1 (short and wrinkled)

Based on this ratio, which was got by Mendel for his F1 offsprings when he crossed pea plants, the parental generation has a heterozygous genotype (TtRr).

How have human activities effected the air in earth’s atmosphere?

Answers

Answer:

Human activities have had a negative impact on Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Human activities, since the Industrial Revolution, have gradually been having more and more influence on Earth's atmosphere. As more and more the economies have developed, the bigger and bigger the output of gases into the atmosphere. The gases that are released into the atmosphere are mostly greenhouse gases, but there are also some that are highly toxic.

This has contributed to a sharp increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere, which is speeding up the process of global warming, and that can have devastating consequences for life on Earth. Also, some of these gases managed to cause huge damage to the ozone layer, the layer that protects us from UV radiation, and if the ozone is gone, every complex organism will be gone as well.

Hopetown is farther from the equator than kamina. Which location has colder air temperature and why

Answers

Answer:

Hopetown

Explanation:

The farther from the equator the colder the air temperature. This is because the equator is the point on planet Earth that receives the largest amount of solar energy, so the regions that are above this line are the warmest in the entire planet. The further away from the equator a region is established, the less solar energy it receives, which is why the poles are so cold. In this case, we can say that the Hopetown temperature is colder than the kamine temperature.
