2. Which types of halogen compounds are known to contribute to ozone depletion?
O A. Chlorofluorocarbons
O B. Salts
O C. Alkali metals
O D. Oxides

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Chlorofluorocarbons

Explanation: short answer

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Chlorofluorocarbons

Explanation:

Halogens are a chemical family containing fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine; any carbon compound containing them is known as a halocarbon. While all halogens have the ability to catalyze ozone breakdown, they have an unequal impact on the ozone layer. A catalyst is a compound which can alter the rate of a reaction without permently being altered by that reaction, and so can react over and over again. In this fashion it is estimated that one molecule of chlorine can degrade over 100,000 molecules of ozone before it is removed from the stratosphere or becomes part of an inactive compound. These inactive compounds, for example ClONO2, are collectively called 'resevoirs'. They hold chlorine in an inactive form but can release an active chlorine when struck by sunlight. The relative potency of the different halogens depends a great deal on the stability of the resevior compounds. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, is so very stable that fluorocarbons have relatively no known impact on ozone. Bromine resevoirs, such as HBr and BrONO2, are much more easily broken up by sunlight; causing bromine to be from 10 to 100 times more effective than chlorine at destroying ozone. From 30-60% of bromocarbons released to the atmosphere are man-made (methyl bromide fumigants and halon fire extinguishers) and both compounds will soon be restricted by international agreement.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - a, b, c, d, g and h.

Explanation:

DNA and RNA both are nucleic acids and have considered genetic materials. There are certain difference in these molecules such as-

Different sugars present in the nucleotide, Deoxyribose sugar in DNA and ribose sugar in RNA.

There are different nitrogenous bases also present as RNA has uracil instead of thymine.

DNA normally found in double-stranded while RNA exists in single-stranded.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding engineering maize plants with a herbicide-resistance gene using Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation?

a. The Ti-plasmid used for this experiment must contain tumor-inducing genes.
b. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into the T-DNA region of the Ti-plasmid.
c. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into a region outside of the T-DNA in the Ti-plasmid.
d. A guide RNA is used to transfer T-DNA from Agrobacterium to the plant cell.
e. The whole Ti-plasmid containing the herbicide-resistance gene is inserted into the maize genome after infection with Agrobacterium

Answers

Answer:

b. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into the T-DNA region of the Ti-plasmid.

Explanation:

Ti-plasmid has the ability to introduce part of its DNA (t-DNA) into the genome of host plants. This is very important for the relationship of genetic manipulation in maize plants, with the aim of inducing a gene that promotes herbicide resistance. In addition, T-DNA has many genes that code for the production of plant growth phytohormones, which is extremely important for the cloning process to work. In this case, we can assume that the correct answer for yours is the letter B.

3. Which of the following represents correctly paired nitrogen bases? (a) Adenine- Cytosine; (b) Cytosine-Thymine; (c) Guanine-Thymine; (d) Guanine-Cytosine.

Answers

Answer: The option that correctly represents paired nitrogen bases is D ( Guanine-Cytosine)

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid( DNA) is found in chromosomes which are located in the nucleus of cells. One of its main functions is to store the organism's hereditary traits and direct the day to day metabolic activities of each cell in the organism.

The DNA molecule consists of two strands that curve spirally to form a double helix structure which consists of:

--> phosphate,

--> A sugar called deoxyribose, and

--> Four nitrogenous bases—adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine

The four different NITROGEN BASES pair together in a way known as complementary pairing. ADENINE always pairs with THYMINE, and CYTOSINE always pairs with GUANINE.This is because of their molecular structures. Each base contains one or two nitrogen rings, which makes it long or short. It also has a sticky end of binding sites that connects with exactly one other base.

--> Adenine is long and has two binding sites.

--> Thymine is short and has two binding sites.

--> Guanine is long and has three binding sites.

--> Cytosine is short and has three binding sites.

From the above analysis, GUANINE can only bind to CYTOSINE.
