How is the separation of dna like a zipper

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]1 year 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.

Tin has ten stable isotopes. The heaviest, 124Sn, makes up 5.80% of naturally occuring tin atoms. How many atoms of 124Sn are pr
matrenka [14]

The average atomic mass of Sn is 118.71 g/mol

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

the given mass of Sn is 82g

The total  moles of Sn will be = mass / atomic mass = 82/118.71=0.691

Total atoms of Sn in 82g = 6.023X10^{23}X0.691=4.16X10^{23}

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

So the total atoms of Sn^{124} = 5.80% X 4.16X10^{23}

Total atoms of Sn^{124}=2.41X10^{22} atoms

the mass of Sn^{124} will be = \frac{2.41X10^{22}X124}{6.023X10^{23}}=4.96g

Propose a plausible mechanism for the reaction f2 + 2clo2 → 2fclo2 given that the rate law for the reaction is rate = k[f2][clo2
shepuryov [24]

<u>The given reaction is:</u>

F2 + ClO2 → 2FClO2

Rate = k[F2][ClO2]

<u>Explanation:</u>

The possible mechanism for this reaction can be broken down into two steps with the slow step being the rate determining step

Step 1:       F2 + ClO2 → FClO2 + F ----------- Slow

Step 2:      F + ClO2 → FClO2           ----------- Fast

-----------------------------------------------------------

Overall:  F2 + 2ClO2 → 2FClO2

Rate = k[F2][ClO2]

What is the melting point of tert-butanol? Besides using a heat lamp, what other options might there be for dispensing a given a
damaskus [11]

Answer:

For dispensing, weigh it out.

Yes, a different solvent such as ethanol could be used.

Explanation:

Besides using various methods for melting the <em>tert</em>-butanol in order to pour it out and measure a given volume, the <em>tert</em>-butanol could be weighed out in a beaker using a scale. Depending on the temperature of the laboratory, the <em>tert</em>-butanol could be a solid or a liquid/solid mixture.

In general, a different solvent such as ethanol could be used in place of <em>tert</em>-butanol as long as the solvent is a low molecular weight alcohol.
