Chapter 14, Problem 16Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of cycles required to create a million copies from just one DNA strand has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
DNA is the abbreviation term of “Deoxyribonucleic Acid”. It is a complex molecule found in all living things.
The primary function of DNA is to store and transmit genetic information that tells cells which proteins to make and when to make them.
A parent DNA molecule consists of two poly

You ask the individual if they are taking any non-prescription drugs. They tell you they recently started taking a coenzyme Q10 supplement based on a recommendation from a friend. The structure of coenzyme Q10 is shown below. Looking at the structure of the molecule, which one of the 4 major classes of macromolecules (carbohydrate, lipid, proteins or nucleotides) does it most closely resemble? Be sure to include specific chemical characteristics that support this decision.
Select the single best answer.
The "melting point" of a DNA molecule is the temperature at which the double-helical strand breaks
apart. Suppose you are given two DNA samples. One sample, sample A, contains 45% G-C base pairs,
while the other sample, sample B, contains 64% G-C base pairs. The total number of bases is the same in
each sample. Which of the two samples, sample A or sample B, has a higher melting point?
sample A
sample B
The melting point is the same for both.

- Although RNA is single-stranded, the strand sometimes folds back on itself to give a complementary portion. What would be the complementary portion of the RNA fragment having the bases uracil-cytosine-guanine? A virus is a particle that contains DNA or RNA that is surrounded by a coat of protein that can replicate only in a host cell. The influencza virus shown in this electron microscope image is an RNA virus.arrow_forwardWhen enough heat is added to double-stranded DNA, the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs are disrupted, and the DNA strands come apart (denature). You have two different double-stranded DNA samples. In DNA X, 50% of the base pairs are G-C. In DNA Y, 80% of the base pairs are G-C. Mark any/all that apply. DNA Y denatures at a higher temperature than DNA X does. It takes more energy to denature DNA Y than it takes to denature DNA X. DNA X denatures at a higher temperature than DNA Y does. O It takes more energy to denature DNA X than it takes to denature DNA Y.arrow_forward
