The conclusion that can be drawn is that the complementary strand will have 40 thymines. The replication process produces two identical clones of a specific molecule of DNA. DNA strands are comprised of chains of four different types of nucleotides (adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine). Adenine only pairs with thymine and guanine with cytosine, to form the double stranded DNA. During the replication, a single strand of DNA acts as a template for the forming strand of DNA. Since the template contains 40 adenines, after the completion of replication, the complementary strand will have 40 thymines.

Anna11 [10]
<span>Since alkylating agents work to prevent the cell from replicating its genetic material, the cell would most likely stop at the interphase checkpoint, which is the phase before mitosis (which consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase). During interphase, the cell replicates its genetic material (DNA), but this would be prohibited by alkylating agents.</span>

Explain how to focus a microscope using the high-power lens. Include any safety issues you need to be aware of.
Lera25 [3.4K]
1)magnification goes by 10x (read 10 times), 100x,1000x and some goes 10,000x 

2)Always focus first using lowest power possible first, switch to medium power (100x) after it's focused on low power(10x), on 100x, use the small knob to focus it more. DO NOT touch the bigger nob when in medium or high power. Switch to high power (100x) when it is focused on medium power, again focus again using the small knob on high power. 

3) So it doesn't gather dust and fog up the lense? that one should be self explanatory

A scientist wants to determine which fertilizer is more effective—Fertilizer X or Fertilizer Y. The best way for her to proceed
tamaranim1 [39]
C because we are testing the effectiveness of Fertilizer X and Y and using no fertilizer can help determine if that would be better than using a fertilizer. Additionally, a control group of no fertilizer would be the third plant as that is considered normal for the experiment. Msg me for any more questions

Among the products of glycolysis, which compounds contain energy that can be used by other biological reactions?a) ATP onlyb) py
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: A (ATP only)

Explanation:

Both NADH and pyruvate are energy store. NADH and pyruvate can not directly be used to drive biological reaction.The metabolism of pyruvate releases energy in the form of ATP. NADH produces ATP through the electron transport chain (ETC). Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is referred to as the energy currency of the cell. ATP is used directly as energy to drive endergonic and exergonic biological reaction.

Answer is ATP only
