Concept explainers

Coding Strand of DNA
When pointing to DNA transcription, the coding strand is found to be the DNA strand whose base sequence is indistinguishable from the base sequence of the RNA transcript developed. It is this strand that comprises the codons, while the non-coding strand …
Nucleotide
Both DNA and RNA are composed of organic molecules known as nucleotides. Hence, nucleotides are known as the basic building blocks of nucleic acids. These substances play a role in various processes such as cell signalling, enzyme reactions, metabolism, …
Structure of Cytosine
Cytosine is among the five primary nitrogenous bases of which DNA and RNA and are being used in storage and transportation of genetic makeup within a cell. Adenine, guanine, thymine as well as uracil are the remaining four nucleobases.

Chapter 18, Problem 40CI

Thalassemia is an inherited genetic mutation that limits the production of the beta Chain needed for the formation of hemoglobin. If low levels of the beta chain are produced, There is shortage of red blood cells (anemia); as a result, the body does not have sufficient Amounts of oxygen. In one form of thalassemia,a single nucleotide is deleted in the DNA that codes for the beta chain. The mutation involves the deletion of thymine (T) from section 91 in the informational strand of normal DNA. (16.2, 17.3, 17.4, 17.5, 17.6)

Marie: The cell lines produce recombinant FIX and other proteins. Which biomolecule can specifically detect the presence of a certain protein, such as recombinant FIX, in a sample full of other proteins? a) Androgens b) Antigens c) Immunoglobulins d) Integrins
In one of the reactions in the citric acid cycle, which provides energy for ATP synthesis, succinic acid is converted to fumaric acid: C4H6 O4 + C4H4O4 + 2H succinic acid fumaric acid The reaction is accompanied by a coenzyme, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD): FAD + 2H → FADH2 ▼ Part A Indicate whether succinic acid and FAD are oxidized or reduced. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer. Reset Help oxidized The reaction of FAD involves the of hydrogen; therefore FAD is loss The reaction of succinic acid involves the of hydrogen; therefore succinic acid is addition reduced
