Which structural characteristics describe a DNA molecule

Answers

Answer 1
DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.

How do police use DNA to try and solve crimes? Do you think city police departments should make their own DNA databases? Explain why or why not. Back up your answer with facts and details from the Article.

Answers

Answer:

Police matches the DNA with the criminal present in their database.

Explanation:

Police use DNA that are collected at the site of crime in order to solve crimes because the criminals DNA are mostly found at the site of crime. the police collected these DNA and search in their database where the DNA of all the criminals are present. if the DNA matches with the criminal present at the database so it  means that this criminal commit this crime so it is arrested and further investigation will be held. Yes, city police departments should make their own DNA databases in order to solve the case quickly.

What is the probability of producing a roan (red and white) cow when a white cow is crossed with a red cow?

Cross: RR x WW

Answers

Answer:

A cross between a roan bull (Ww) and a white cow (ww) produces roan and white phenotypes in a 1:1 ratio.

Explanation:

Two alleles are influencing the color of the hair of the cow-W red and w white.

These alleles show that a hybrid Ww has red hair. The genotype of the bull is Ww, WW is red and ww is white. So, mixing the red and white cows is 1:1.

Wheat has flowers similar to those in Fig. 5.1, but reproduces by self-pollination. Explain the consequences of self-pollination for a population of plants.

Answers

Answer:

The transfer of mature pollen grain from anther of the flower to the stigma of the same flower of the same [species  is called self pollination.

Generally, the transfer of pollen grains by wind,animals,and water  to stigmas is called pollination. It is a means of vegetative propagation which ensures reproduction.

Therefore during self pollination, the same genes are distributed  from one generation to another. Thus genetic purity is ensured. It also ensured reproductive success. because there is little chance of the pollen grain getting lost in transit. It is also certain  a particular plant would always breed true.

Additionally it prevent  the process of transfer of genes in some transgenic crops( rice, maize) where through genetic engineering some genes are introduced in their genome.

The only negative effect is lack of genetic diversity. Therefore after a period of time the plants get  weak and prone to diseases and infection. Because of poor resistant from lack of variation.

Compare the carrying power of a small, mountain stream in the mountains with that of a slow large river that is about to enter the sea.


(Note: Needs to be detailed) [this is more of a Geology question]

Answers

Answer:

The carrying power of a small, mountain stream in the mountains with that of a slow large river that is about to enter the sea is explained below in details.

Explanation:

A mountain stream is a river or stream, normally with a sheer slope, running down a mountainside. Stream velocity is most noted in midstream near the exterior and is crawling along the stream bottom and shores due to friction.

The river stalls down at the entrance, so it doesn't have the energy to carry all the sand, dirt, and clay anymore. These deposits create the flat, regularly triangle-shaped tract of a delta.

Decomposition is the process by which:
Carbon atoms are released into the soil
Carbon is converted to CO2
Organisms obtain energy by breaking down glucose

Answers

Answer:

Decomposition is the process by which carbon atoms are released into the soil.

Explanation:

Organic decomposition involves the process of degradation of a living organism by releasing its elemental components.

In the process of decomposition, chemical elements such as carbon are released mainly in the soil, contributing to its enrichment and use by other living beings.

The release of carbon —product of decomposition— to the soil, for recycling, is part of the carbon cycle.

The other options are not correct because:

The conversion of carbon into CO₂ is combustion. Organisms obtain energy by breaking down glucose is part of cellular respiration.

Explain digestion Process.​

Answers

Answer:

Each bite passes through several "cells" within the digestive system, and each of them has a specific function in terms of processing uneaten food.

Explanation:

The food begins to be processed in the mouth and prepared for the upcoming digestion process.

Saliva is important for food processing, among other things because it contains the enzyme ptyalin (alpha-amylase), which is responsible for the breakdown of starch and glycogen and continues its activities in the stomach.

Well-chewed food passes through the pharynx to the esophagus. During the swallowing of food, the opening of the trachea is closed, although it is possible that some crumb of food strays and causes a strong cough, which expels the excess from the trachea.

From the esophagus, food comes into the stomach, which is surrounded by ribs. Stomach acid is extremely strong and enables the conversion of food into liquid, which facilitates the further process of digestion.

Food from the stomach continues its way through the digestive tract to the duodenum, from the duodenum it reaches the small intestine.

Food processing in the large intestine is the last phase of digestion of food in the digestive tract. When the waste materials reach it, they need up to 24 hours to pass through the large intestine and reach the other end.

Read the passage.Space Junk!Imagine small pieces of debris hurtling through space at up to 22,300 miles per hourfaster than a speeding bullet. Next, envision those pieces of debris colliding with each other, explosively creating even more smashed bits, as they continue zooming through space. Now, try to imagine a cloud of this debris encircling our planet.You have just created a picture of space junk.Space junk is a term used to describe the different bits and pieces of debris that orbit earth and other planets at mind-boggling speeds.What is this junk, and how did it end up in outer space?This junk is actually debris from objects sent into space. It includes everything from parts of space shuttles to satellites. Pieces from rocket launchers, bits of metal fallen off of satellites, nuts and bolts, and even chips of paint are all considered space junk. The Space Surveillance Network, a group that keeps track of the debris, has seen garbage bags, lens caps, and even a spatula!Currently, there are around 900,000 pieces of debris between 1 centimeter and 10 centimeters in length orbiting in our space system, and this number is growing. The pieces vary in size from softball-sized to those the size of marbles, or even smaller. Additionally, there are millions of debris pieces too small to measure.But isnt space HUGE? Isnt there enough room for these little bits of junk to pass each other?Although space is extremely vast, most of the junk that is worrisome is orbiting earth. It is estimated that there are about 22,300 bits of trash the size of golf balls, in addition to half a million smaller pieces whizzing around earth in the low earth orbit. This means that the junk is within 1,250 miles of earths surface. Sharing this space are active satellites, so there is growing concern about how to keep the satellites from being hit by the debris. There have been a few incidents where this has already happened. For example, in 1996, some debris from a French rocket damaged a French satellite. Surprisingly, the rocket had been launched ten years previously! In 2009, a non-operational Russian satellite smashed into an American satellite. This collision added another 2,000 pieces of junk to the growing pile of space debris.Scientists have labored for years to try to protect both active satellites and the International Space Station (ISS), a space laboratory run by astronauts from different nations. To protect the ISS, scientists have developed the capability to maneuver the station out of harms way. There are also emergency plans in place to protect the astronauts working at the ISS. These plans would isolate the crew to another part of the station to keep them safe in the event of a collision.Still, these measures do not solve the problem of what to do about space junk.In our modern world, we have become more and more dependent on satellites to help us with many things. Among these are communication systems, weather predictions, and navigation. The more we rely on advanced technology, the more likely it is that we will send additional satellites into space. It is not realistic to assume that the number of items launched into space will decrease.Scientists are working on solutions to deal with the problem. For example, Japan has designed a device that looks like a giant rope with a 444-pound weight attached to one end. The weight could swing around and basically knock debris out of orbit. Then it would burn up in earths atmosphere. Other ideas for debris removal have included harpoons, giant magnets, and nets that would capture the debris. Some solutions propose an end-of-life plan for future launches, in which the debris would be sent farther into space or destroyed.Because humans interest in exploring space continues to grow, there is little chance that the number of objects in space will decrease. However, as people become more aware of the problem of space junk, the same energy dedicated to exploring space must be directed toward creative ways of cleaning it up.Read this sentence from "Space Junk!"These plans would isolate the crew to another part of the station to keep them safe in the event of a collision.What is the meaning of isolate?to recognizeto keep safeto keep separateto integrate Helpppp i'll give brainliest Richard bought 3 pounds of bananas for $1.50.
