Explain the structure and functions of DNA. Then discuss how and why the structure helps DNA accomplish the different functions.

Answers

Answer 1
The function of DNA is tied to its structure. ... When two strands of DNA come together, base pairs form between the nucleotides of each strand. Nitrogenous bases pair together in the following way: A-T and C-G. Bases interact through weak bonds, called hydrogen bonds, that can be easily broken and reformed

Answer: 1. I would choose BbEe(black) and bbEe(chocolate) because when they crossover each other, one of the possibilities is bbEe which would be a yellow dog.

2. Yes, because when you cross the two, you will get at least 1 of each color as a result.

3. BE, Be, bE, be

4. When crossing BBee and bbee, the result was Bbee which is also a yellow dog.

5. I would not want BbEe.

What is the function of Taq polymerase?
to add nucleotides to a DNA primer
to break the hydrogen bonds of DNA strands
to make more repeats of the STR sequence
to separate the sugars and phosphates in DNA

Answers

Answer:

to add nucleotides to a DNA primer

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology in order to amplify small segments of DNA (100 to 1000 bases). PCR uses a thermostable DNA Taq polymerase that adds nucleotides to the DNA template at the position specified by short single-stranded DNA primers that bind to this template by complementary base pairing during the annealing phase of the PCR cycle. Subsequently, the DNA polymerase adds deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) to the opposite DNA strand, this phase of the PCR cycle is known as the elongation phase. Finally, the resulting double-stranded DNA fragment is separated by heat during the denaturation step and this 3-step PCR cycle is repeated many times to amplify the target DNA region.

Answers

Answer:

Competitive inhibition

Explanation:

Competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition where one molecule inhibits the effect of another molecule (called the substrate) by competing with it for binding at the active site of the target enzyme, thereby preventing the substrate from binding. The active site refers to the specific region of an enzyme that binds with a particular substrate. This mechanism is well-known in pharmaceutics, where specific drugs are designed to show structural resemblance to a particular substrate, preventing its normal function.
