The three most common ways that bacteria diversify their DNA are transformation, conjugation, and transduction. Genetic Material: the material in our cells that makes us who we are inside and out.

Deoxyribonucelic Acid (DNA): hereditary material found in the nucleus.

Ribonucleic Acid (RNA): genetic material that differs from DNA through its chemical bases.

DNA contains all the secrets that make you so awesome! So, it is super important that the cell keeps the DNA safe. DNA has so much information that it could stretch from the earth to the sun four times! No seriously, four times! I'm sure you're thinking, how does all that information get into something so small? Well, DNA is highly organized in order to keep all information safe, yet accessible to the cell. This is a great thing because you don't want to lose your awesomeness! DNA is comprised of four chemical bases also known as nucleotides: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). These bases pair with one another, A with T and C with G. Each base is attached to a sugar (ribose) and a phosphate molecule: hence the name deoxyribonucleic acid.

Now that we have the basic building blocks of DNA, let's get into the structure. DNA is double stranded, and each strand is held together by the pairing of the nucleotides. Remember what we mentioned above: A loves T and C loves G. These bases never cheat on one another; they only pair with the partner they love! The double stranded DNA is spirally coiled to form a helix. You will find many textbooks refer to DNA as a double helix. This double helix looks much like a ladder with the nucleotides representing the rungs on the ladder and the sugar and phosphate are the sides. The double helixes are then wrapped around proteins called histones and packaged into chromosomes.

The other type of genetic material called ribonucleic acid (RNA) is structurally similar to DNA, but there are a few differences--primarily in their chemical bases. Before we get more into the differences, let's examine the similarities. Both have a sugar, phosphate group, and four chemical bases. Unlike DNA which is double stranded, RNA is single stranded. The other major difference is the bases that are found in RNA. RNA contains adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U). So, in RNA the base thymine is replaced with uracil. In RNA the base pairs are A loves U and C loves G.

Answer from: Quest

It depends on the surface of the levels. the rougher the surface, the greater is the frictional force. for rougher surfaces, you would need to exert greater force to move the object. the concept is that, you must overcome the frictional force in order to bring the object into motion. this is the reason why we add lubricants to the joints so they could easily move. this answer was on

Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. at one locus on the x chromosome, one allele (x ) encodes black fur and another allele (xo) encodes orange fur. females can be black (x x ), orange (xoxo), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (x xo). males are either black (x y) or orange (xoy). bill has a female tortoiseshell cat named patches. one night, patches escapes from bill\'s house, spends the night out, and mates with a stray male. patches later gives birth to the following kittens: one orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. what are the genotypes of patches, the stray male, and the kittens?
