How is the separation of dna like a zipper

1 answer:

3 0

The two strands must be separated like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A double helix structure formed by two polypeptide chains is separated like the two sides of a zipper. A zipper is formed by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases. During replication, an enzyme "Helicase" travels down the DNA and splits the chain and it forms 2 separate strands.

The two DNA strand which has the same sequence must be separated like the two sides of a zipper by breaking weak hydrogen bases. During base pair-rule, the strand are unzipped and each strands is copied.

viva [34]

Answer:

CaF2 > Ag2CO3 > Ag3(PO4)2 > Ba3(PO4)2

Explanation:

Ksp which is solubility product konstant shows equilibrium between a solids and its respective ions in a solution. And the lower it is the less soluble the ion compound will be. And for CaF2 we have the highest konstant and for Ba3(PO4)2 we have it the lowest.

What is the change in enthalpy in kilojoules when 3.24 g of CH3OH is completely reacted according to the following reaction 2 CH

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

12.78 kJ

Explanation:

The correct balanced reaction would be

$2CH_3OH\rightarrow 2CH_4+O_2\Delta H=252.8\ \text{kJ}$

Mass of methanol = $3.24\ \text{g}$

Moles of methanol can be obtained by dividing the mass of methanol with its molar mass $(32.04\ \text{g/mol})$

$\dfrac{3.24}{32.04}=0.10112\ \text{moles}$

Enthalpy change for the number of moles is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Number of moles of methanol in the reaction}}{\text{Enthalpy change in the reaction}}=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles in 3.24 g of methanol}}{\text{Enthaply in change in the mass of methanol}}$

$\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{2}{252.8}=\dfrac{0.10112}{\Delta H}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=\dfrac{0.10112\times 252.8}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=12.781568\approx 12.78\ \text{kJ}$

The change in enthalpy is 12.78 kJ.
