If a portion of a strand of DNA bases reads 3’TCGATCGCA 5’, what would the sequence of bases on the complementary strand read?

The tibia and fibula are located in the crural region of the body, which is the lower leg between the knee and ankle. The coxal region refers to the hip area, the antecubital region is the front of the elbow, and the tarsal region is the ankle and foot.

The correct answer is c. Fibrinogen. Fibrinogen is a protein present in blood plasma that plays a key role in blood clotting. When an injury occurs and bleeding begins, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, which forms a mesh-like structure that helps to trap blood cells and form a clot.

A. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell, not a protein present in blood plasma.

B. Platelets are cell fragments that play a role in blood clotting, but they are not a protein present in blood plasma.

D. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell, not a protein present in blood plasma.

Ovulation is the process in which an ovarian follicle matures and releases a reproductive egg. During ovulation, the egg is released from the ovary and travels down the fallopian tube where it may be fertilized by sperm.

The other options are not processes in which an ovarian follicle matures and releases a reproductive egg. Oogenesis is the process of egg cell formation, menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining, and fertilization is the fusion of an egg and sperm to form a zygote.

Given the new findings that worm infestation can relieve the effects of certain autoimmune disorders, the hypothesis should be modified to state that worm infestation reduces the severity of certain autoimmune disorders.

This option best reflects the new information and suggests a potential benefit of worm infestation in relation to autoimmune disorders. The other options do not accurately reflect the new findings and do not provide a clear modification to the hypothesis.

The correct answer is b. Peptide bonds. Enzymes are proteins, and proteins are made up of amino acid monomers linked together by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent bond that forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid.

a. Ester bonds are covalent bonds that form between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

c. Phosphodiester bonds are covalent bonds that form between a phosphate group and two hydroxyl

groups.

d. Glycosidic bonds are covalent bonds that form between two monosaccharides.

The structure that is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the cell membrane ². The cell membrane is a thin layer that surrounds the cell and separates its internal environment from the external environment ². It is composed of a lipid bilayer and proteins and regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell ².

The other options are not correct because they are not present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast, and Golgi apparatus are organelles that are only found in eukaryotic cells ².

The parotid gland is an exocrine gland that secretes saliva into the mouth. Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts that carry the secretions to the body's surface or into body cavities. The other options are endocrine glands, which secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The pineal gland secretes melatonin, the parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone, and the pituitary gland secretes several hormones that regulate various bodily functions.

The sequence of bases on the complementary strand of DNA would read5’AGCTAGCGT 3’ (Choice A). In DNA, the nitrogenous bases adenine (A) and thymine (T) pair together, and cytosine (C) and guanine (G) pair together. The complementary strand is also antiparallel to the original strand, meaning that it runs in the opposite direction with the 5' end matching up with the 3' end of the original strand.

The other options do not accurately represent the complementary sequence of bases or the antiparallel orientation of the strands.

BONUS:

The function of a totipotent cell is to develop into any kind of cell ¹. Totipotent cells have the capacity to produce all adult cell types and can enter the germ line, contributing genetic material to succeeding generations ?. They have the ability to self-replicate, producing daughter cells that are identical to the parent ?.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the function of a totipotent cell. Fighting infectious diseases, aiding in the maturation of sex cells, and carrying electrical impulses are not functions performed by totipotent cells.

An oxidation reaction occurs when there is a removal of electrons ¹. Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion ¹. When oxidation occurs, the oxidation state of the chemical species increases ¹.

The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe what occurs in an oxidation reaction. Removal of oxygen, addition of carbon, and addition of neutrons are not processes that occur in an oxidation reaction.
