Generally the DNA molecule is double stranded to RNA's single strand. The RNA molecule uses uracil as a base while the DNA molecule uses thymine. RNA has catabolic properties that allow it to act in things such a ribosomes and tRNA. DNA is just a carrier of the genetic information.

RNA is ribonucleic acid, which is practically the zipped portion of DNA which is Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA 'zips' into two halfs and the zipped half is called the RNA. While the DNA is the main component of genetic information RNA is like a coder that is sent to the ribosome to build on and collect protiens.

Why do you think were equal parts of guanine and cytosine and equal parts of adenine and thymine in DNA of a cell?

There are equal parts of guanine and cytosine, and adenine and thymine, because they form base pairs in the DNA molecule. This is in accordance with the base-pairing rule, which states that in DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine.


How the gradualism model of evolution differs from the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution?

The gradualism model of evolution states that change occurs gradually over time. On the other hand, the punctuated equilibrium model states that change occurs suddenly or rapidly.


Can you convert fat to glucose?

yes in fasted states (or when you have used your glycogen stores), glucagon or adrenaline can breakdown stored triglycerides (in adipose tissue) into glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol goes to the liver when it is involved in gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose from non-carb source). This is essentially a reversal of glycolysis: The glycerol molecule is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which then is converted to fructose 1,6 biphosphate and then after a number of steps, is converted to glucose. I dont think the glycerol molecule is converted to pyruvate, but instead joins in the pathway at the step decribed above.


How does the original strand of DNA relate to the two new DNA molecules after replication?

Well, if you envision a DNA strand how it is formatted it might be a little easier to understand.Think of it like this:(Letters represent nucleotides; Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine)A--------TT--------AC--------GG--------CIn DNA transcription the two sides of our strand split and attaches new complimentary base pairs. So when DNA replicates the first step would look like this:A---- ----TT---- ----AC---- ----GG---- ----CNext, new complimentary base pairs attach to the split strands.A----T A----TT----A T----AC----G C----GG----C G----CSo as you can see the replication creates identical copies. The only variation arises when the DNA is involved in some sort of DNA mutation.This is a very simplified example of DNA replication. In real replication the strands are millions of nucleotides long, making the chance of mutation extremely likely.To sum up, the two replicated DNA strands will be nearly identical to the original DNA strand.


What are the classification of sentences?

The basic grammatical structure of a sentence in English is the subject, followed by the predicate. Basically, there is a subject and a verb. Advanced speakers of the English language may be able to get away with using the verb before the subject, but that kind of usage is primarily found in the UK and Australia and typically not in the United States--except for in specific communities.

The eqation of photosynthesis states what photosynthesis needs to make one molecule of glocose.the eqation states it will use 6 carbon dioxide molecules and 6 water molecules plus energy (in the form of sunlight)in the presence of chlorophyll (its what uses the sunlight energy)to split and rearrange the atoms to form one glocose molecule and 6 oxygen molecules (the waste product).


Does alcohol come in any other form other than liquid?

Alcohol is merely a class of chemical compounds containing the -OH group as it's main chemical group. Hence, like all other molecules, it is capable of existing in all 4 states of matter given the right conditions. If the molecule formed containing -OH is nonpolar, then most likely it well be a gas. If the molecule is polar, then it will most likely be a liquid. If the molecule is ionic, then it will be a solid.
