An 80-meter sequoia tree is in the forest. What is most likely the age of the tree?

Biology

balandron [24]2 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "1,200 years".

Explanation:

The giant sequoia (<em>Sequoiadendron giganteum</em>) are the most massive trees in the world, and the tallest is one sequoia called "General Sherman" with a height of  83.8 m. "General Sherman" is estimated to be 2,000 years old, and is estimated that a sequoia tree can live up to 3,500 years. Therefore, an 80-meter sequoia tree in the forest most likely will have more than 1,000 years.

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!

zimovet [89]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

The two strands of the DNA are "assembled" to each other such as the end of the DNA strand will be 3' paired with a 5' end.

The two strands of the DNA are held together with "hydrogen" bonds.

In DNA, A binds with "T" and G binds with "C".

"DNA helicase" unwinds the DNA for replication to begin.

An RNA primer is created by enzyme "primase" which then supplies the "3′" hydroxyl group used by "DNA polymerase" to start adding DNA nucleotides.

The DNA strand is made from "5'" to "3'".

The "lagging" strand is made in short segments called okazaki fragments. The "leading" strand is made in one continuous piece.

After replication, the RNA primers are removed by enzyme "RNase H" and replaced with DNA nucleotides.

The enzyme "DNA ligase" seals the nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone after the RNA primers are removed.

On linear chromosomes the enzyme "telomerase" extends the ends by creating a repeating sequence of nucleotides which helps prevent loss of genetic material with each replication.

Explanation:

The two strands of the DNA are "assembled" to each other such as the end of the DNA strand will be 3' paired with a 5' end. - The double helix structure of DNA is assembled following a 3' paired with a 5' end, this is called an  antiparallel arrangement which gives more stability to the DNA.

The two strands of the DNA are held together with "hydrogen" bonds. - This are weak bonds, however since they are numerous hydrogen bonds in DNA, they hold together the structure.

In DNA, A binds with "T" and G binds with "C". - This is called the base pairing rule or the Chargaff's rule.

"DNA helicase" unwinds the DNA for replication to begin. - DNA helicase catalyze the breaking down of the hydrogen bonds of the center of the strand.

An RNA primer is created by enzyme "primase" which then supplies the "3′" hydroxyl group used by "DNA polymerase" to start adding DNA nucleotides. - Primase catalyzes the synthesis of a RNA primer, a small sequence of RNA that marks the begging of the polymerization.

The DNA strand is made from "5'" to "3'". - DNA polymerase needs the 3′ hydroxyl group to start adding DNA nucleotides, adding nucleotides from its 5′ group.

The "lagging" strand is made in short segments called okazaki fragments. The "leading" strand is made in one continuous piece. - The leading strand is synthesized from 5' to 3', therefore the polymerization occurs continuously. The lagging strand is backwards, therefore okazaki fragments must be added.

After replication, the RNA primers are removed by enzyme "RNase H" and replaced with DNA nucleotides. - RNase H is an endogenous hydrolase, it catalyzes the removal of the RNA primers while DNA polymerase I fill the blanks with DNA.

The enzyme "DNA ligase" seals the nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone after the RNA primers are removed. - As the name implies, DNA ligase facilitates the joining of DNA strands, such as the ones formed where the RNA primers where before.

On linear chromosomes the enzyme "telomerase" extends the ends by creating a repeating sequence of nucleotides which helps prevent loss of genetic material with each replication. - Telomerase, also known as terminal transferase, adds the repeating sequences (telomeres) in eukaryotic cells.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The best way to classify two different organisms that have similar appearance and are found in the same environment is to use gel-electrophoresis to compare DNA patterns.

Explanation:

When organism possesses the same physical characteristics and are found in the same environment the genetic test must be varried out to ascertain their differences such as DNA test using electrophoresis to compare such

zaharov [31]

Answer:

e.) the biodiversity of the pond has decreased

Explanation:

Biodiversity or biological diversity refers to the variety of living organisms in a particular area. It can be a measure of number of species of living organisms in that area. The more the number of species, the higher the diversity and vice versa.

<em>Adjacent development close to the pond can be viewed as habitat disturbance. Habitat disturbance affects biodiversity in a number of ways including:</em>

  • <em>A shift in the species composition of the habitat</em>
  • <em>Outright extinction of certain species from the population</em>

<em>Overall, the species diversity become reduced as a result of a shift in species composition of extinction of some species. Hence, the best indicator of habitat disturbance is a decrease in biodiversity of the habitat.</em>

The correct option is e.
