<span>An ionic bond is a complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This generally happens between atoms that have opposite electronegativity. This means one has very few atoms in their outer shell, while the other has many. A common example of an ionic bond is that of salt, with Na and Cl. Sodium has one electron in its outer shell, in which it transfers to chloride to make an ionic bond.
</span><span>
Ionic bonds are usually found in dry forms such as salts and are found in compounds throughout the human body. Ionic compounds are generally water soluble.</span>
DNA<span> - As you recall, DNA is formed in the shape of a double helix. The double strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds. Each single strand has a backbone made of sugar and phosphate, as well as either a purine (adenine or guanine) or pyrimidine (cytosine or thymine). Each purine is connected to a pyrimidine through a hydrogen bond, giving the double DNA strand strength, and flexibility. This bond holds the two sides of DNA together, each bond contributing to the overall strength of DNA. When DNA is replicated, special enzymes known as DNA helicase "unzip" DNA and these bonds are broken so the two strands can be individually replicated.</span>

Which best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication?
Sedaia [141]

The right answer is A.Transcription uses uracil.

The genes carried by the DNA will be encoded in another form: messenger RNA, during a process called "transcription".

The DNA and RNA molecules are chemically very close, but the second has an extra oxygen (in red on the right of the letters) on the sugars (riboses) that make up its nucleotides (the DNA actually contains deoxyribose). In addition, the thymine (T) of DNA is replaced by uracil (U) in RNA.

Which factor is least likely to affect the results and interpretation of a functional MRI?
sergij07 [2.7K]
Prescription medication is the least likely to affect the results and interpretation of a functional MRI.

Here are some of the factors that is most likely to affect the results of MRI :

- Caffeinated soda. Caffeinated soda tend to constrict the blood vessels in the brain, which will affect MRI results.
- cancerous growth, will create a huge shadow on MRI results
- sprained ankle, especially if it was fixed with metal bandage, will cause harm during MRI

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

d. Character displacement

Explanation:

Character displacement is the phenomenon in which the similar species living in the same geographical region with similar niches differentiate in order to reduce their niche overlap and avoid competitive exculsion. Just like in this case of two- spot and three -spot avenger beetles as their timmings for hunting is different where their ranges overlap. So it's the good example of character displacement,
