Is there any isotopes in phosphorus?

Yes, the most stable isotopes are 31P, 32P, and 33P. 31P is stable with 16 neutrons. 32P has a half-life of 14.28 days with 17 neutrons. 33P has a half-life of 25.3 days with 18 neutrons.

Is 32 the gcf of what 2 numbers?

Take any two coprime number, p and q. Coprime means that p and q do not share any common factor (other than 1). Then, 32p and 32q have a GCF of 32.


Why is it important for the nucleotide bases to stay in the same position?

It is important for nucleotide bases to stay in the same position because they provide the genetic information necessary for the functioning of an organism. The arrangement of the bases in the DNA molecule determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins, which play crucial roles in cellular processes. Any change in the position of the nucleotide bases can lead to disruptions in these processes, potentially causing genetic disorders or functional abnormalities.


What makes up nucleotide?

Nucleotides are monomeric units of nucleic acids. They themselves contain three types of molecules. They contain one pentose sugar, at least one phosphate group and a nitrogen base. If the nucleotide is a monomeric unit of DNA, then it is systematically referred as deoxynuclotide. It can have any of the nitrogen base from adenine, guanine, thymine or cytosine. The pentose sugar present is deoxyriobose. In the nucleotide that are monomeric unit of RNA, thymine is replaced by another nitrogen base uracil. the petose sugar present is ribose. Nucletides can have upto three phosphate groups. Depending on number of phosphate groups present, it is nucleotide monophosphate (NMP), nucleotide diphosphate (NDP) and nucleotide triphophate (NTP).
