To determine
To Describe: The function of DNA.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: DNA is a
Deoxyribonucleic acid is the nucleic acid in which the genetic information of an organism is stored in coded form. The DNA stores information and passes it to the RNA at the right time. By decoding or transcipting the right bit of DNA at the right time in the right place, an organism can utilize genetic information required to synthesize the many thousands of proteins necessary for carrying out its biochemical reactions.
The DNA sequence that acts as a code for a specific protein or a polypeptide is called gene. Genetic code is the relationship between the amino acids and
Conclusion: DNA carries the hereditary material (gene) of an organism, and is carried to its offsprings.

- A capacitor with a capacitance of C = 5.95×10−5 F is charged by connecting it to a 12.5 −V battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and connected across an inductor with an inductance of L = 1.55 H . At the time 2.35×10−2 s after the connection to the inductor is made, what is the current in the inductor? At that time, how much electrical energy is stored in the inductor?arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question. Thanks.arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question.
