How is the separation of dna like a zipper

Chemistry

Sedbober [7]2 years ago

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.

Give the number of significant figures in this number: 40.00
Tatiana [17]

A significant figure is every symbol that made the number itself.

In this case, the number 40.00 has four figures but only two of them are significant 40, this is because you haven't got any more decimals than the first zero.

If you have a case with zeros in front, you take to the first non zero digits.

For example, 0.071004 you wold express as 0.071 and those 7, and 1 are the significant ones.

Compare the composition of sucrose purified from the sugar cane with the composition of sucrose purified from sugar beets.
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: they are the same.


Explanation:


1) Sucrose is a compound with chemical formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁


2) That means that all molcules of sucrose will have the same kind of atoms in the same proportion, whic is to say same composition:


12 atoms of C: 22 atoms of H: 11 atoms of O, per each molecule of sucrose.


3) For this question you can rely in the definition of compound: a pure substance formed by the combination of two or more elements always in the same ratio (same composition).


4) That also implies, that all the molecules of sucrose have the same properties.

Select the simplest mole ratio for each substance. Glucose (C6H12O6): Sulfuric acid (H2SO4): Butene (C4H8):
Rom4ik [11]

<u>Answer:</u>

1. In Glucose: C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

2. In Sulfuric acid: H : S : O = 2 : 1 : 4

3. In Butene: C : H = 1 : 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of amounts in moles present in a compound. Simplest mole ratio basically means that the moles are present in the least whole number ratio.

  • In Glucose, (C_6H_{12}O_6)

Moles of Carbon atom = 6

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 12

Moles of Oxygen atom = 6

Mole ratio of the atoms: C : H : O :: 6 : 12 : 6

Making this, the simplest mole ratio C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

  • In Sulfuric acid, (H_2SO_4)

Moles of Sulfur atom = 1

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 2

Moles of Oxygen atom = 4

Mole ratio of the atoms: H : S : O = 2 : 1 : 4

  • In Butene, (C_4H_8)

Moles of Carbon atom = 4

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 8

Mole ratio of the atoms: C : H = 1 : 2
