What is the texture and consistency of the dna? 2. why did we use a salt in the extraction solution? 3. is the dna soluble in th

e aqueous solution or alcohol? 4. what else might be in the ethanol/aqueous interface? how could you eliminate this? 5. which dna bases pair with each other? how many hydrogen bonds are shared by each pair?

Explanation:

These questions are related to the extraction of DNA using detergents and ethanol.

1. Consistency and texture- the extracted DNA is white, spongy and moist or slime in nature.

2. Salt is used during the extraction process as the DNA is negatively charged molecule and to neutralize the negative charge which will allow the formation of precipitate.

3. The DNA is soluble in aqueous solution as the DNA is a negatively charged molecule therefore the negative charge makes it a polar molecule and it can form the interactions in the aqueous solution.

4. RNA could be present in the aqueous solution along with the DNA as both are the nucleic acid.

5. The base-pairing rule was suggested by the Chargaff who proposed that Adenine binds thymine and guanine binds cytosine.

5. The binding of adenine to thymine involves two hydrogen bonds and between guanine to cytosine involves three hydrogen bonds.

Compare and contrast a pair of magnets and a pair of water molecules?
avanturin [10]
The pair of magnets and a pair of water molecules are most likely similar. It is because the pair of magnets connects positive to negative and negative to positive, which is also similar to water molecules where they also connect to positive to negative.

g The greater tubercle of the humerus is analog to the _______________. Group of answer choices lesser tubercle of the humerus l
Mkey [24]

Answer:

greater trochanter of the femur

Explanation:  

Analogous structures refer to those that are similar morphologically and even have a similar function in the organism, but their genetic origin differs.

The origin and embryological development of these organs are not the same.  

Both structures are muscles insertion points or surfaces. These muscles are related to the extremity movement.

6. Delete any base (between the READING FRAME, excluding the start and stop codons) and show the change in the amino acid sequen
kati45 [8]
This is the DNA. I'm going to only use the upper strand to demonstrate what this strand would code for before and after a single bp deletion (so write it as mRNA). I will also write it how it's easier to see this which is to split them up into the 3 base codon system. Note that you don't need to know the amino acid code - you use a table to find these.

ORIGINAL (mRNA on top, Amino Acid (AA) on bottom:

5'-AGC GGG AUG AGC GCA UGU GGC GCA UAA CUG-3'
    SER  GLY  MET SER ALA  CYS GLY ALA  STOP LEU 

Note that the protein would stop being made at the stop codon and the LEU wouldn't matter at the end...

Now, I will remove one bp...(I bolded it up top). Rewrite the mRNA and find the corresponding AA...

NEW
5'-AGC GGG AUG GCG CAU GTG GCG CAU AAC UG-3'
   SER  GLY  MET  ALA  HIS   VAL  ALA   HIS  ASN .....

Completely different amino acid sequence after the methionine (MET). The stop codon is gone...the protein would continue being translated until it reaches another stop codon...so not what was supposed to be made!

devlian [24]

Answer:

Agar

Explanation:

In the given question, the substance obtained from a multi-cellular organism with its plant-like and stores starch like a plant is the algae.

Many useful substances are obtained from these algae whose characteristics are given are like they are jelly-like, used as food, used to grow the cultures of organism shows the properties of a chemical called agar.

Agar is obtained from the species of genus Gelidium and the Gracllaria red algae which are plant-like organisms.

Thus, agar is the correct answer.

olasank [31]

According to the theory proposed by Harry Hess, what causes continents to move?

The correct answer is : seafloor spreading.

Earlier, in 1912 Alfred Wegener produced evidence that the continents are in motion but this idea was shelved as he could not explain what forces the continents to move. So, almost 50 years later Harry Hess confirmed Wegener's ideas by using the evidence of seafloor spreading to explain what moved continents.
