Which feature of DNA enables a single-stranded DNA probe to hybridize with a single-stranded target gene?

The complementary base pairing between adenine (A) and thymine (T), and cytosine (C) and guanine (G) allows a single-stranded DNA probe to hybridize with a single-stranded target gene. This specificity is key for detecting and identifying specific sequences in the target gene through base pairing interactions.


What is the difference between Target cells and non-target cells?

Target cells are cells that have specific receptors for a hormone or external signal, allowing them to respond to the signal. Non-target cells do not have receptors for the hormone or signal, so they do not respond to it. Target cells are the primary sites of action for hormones, while non-target cells are unaffected by the hormone.


What happens when an action potential reaches the nerve terminal?

When an action potential reaches the nerve terminal, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, which then transmit signals to the next neuron or target cell.


What property of DNA makes it possible for a probe to find a single-stranded DNA target gene?

a DNA molecule has two paired strands. ~


How would you contrast hormonal and neural signals?

Both types of signaling can occur over long distances: neurons can send action potentials along very long axons (from the spinal cord to the fingers, for example), and hormones are passed through the bloodstream throughout the organism. Neurons secrete large amounts of neurotransmitters into a small, well-defined space at the synapse, yielding a high local concentration. Neurotransmitter receptors, theref ore, need to bind to neurotransmitters with only low affinity (high K d). By contrast, hormones are diluted extensively in the bloodstream, where they circulate at minuscule concentrations; hormone receptors, therefore, generally bind their hormones with extremely high affinity (low K d). Neuronal signaling is very fast, limited only by the speed of propagation of the action potential and the workings of the synapse. In addition to speed, nerves communicate directly with one or a few cells. Hormonal signaling is slower, limited by blood flow and diffusion over relatively large distances, but it communicates at the same time with all the diverse and widely dispersed target cells in the body.

Why is nervous control faster than hormonal action?

Nervous control is faster than hormonal action because it relies on electrical impulses transmitted through neurons, allowing for immediate responses to stimuli. This rapid communication enables quick reflexes and coordination of bodily functions. In contrast, hormonal action involves the release of hormones into the bloodstream, which takes more time to reach target cells and elicit a response, resulting in slower physiological changes.
