A single strand of human hair is made up of approximately 100,000 DNA strands bundled together. Each DNA molecule is composed of two strands that coil around each other to form a double helix. Therefore, the amount of bundled DNA in a single hair strand represents a vast collection of genetic material, although the exact number can vary.

How much tension if the bag is supported by 7 vertical strands That is how much tension is exerted in each strand Answer in units of N?

Assuming that all strands are vertical/ parallel to gravity and equally spaced (on a radius) around the centre of gravity then tension on each strand will be equivalent to weight x 9.81 divided by 7 equals tension in Newtons. If the strands are not normal and/or at varying distances from centre of gravity then it becomes a little more complicated. Summ of tension on strands must equal weight of bag. Tension on each strand is a ratio of it's distance from the COG of the furthest most strand. Don't forget the further from perpendicular a strand is the more tension on the strand.


Is the amount of cytosine in both strands of a DNA equal?

Yes, the amount of cytosine in both strands of a DNA molecule is equal. This is because cytosine always pairs with guanine through hydrogen bonding in a complementary manner: C-G on one strand pairs with G-C on the other strand.


What is osb board?

OSB stands for oriented strand board. It is made of wood strands and waterproof adhesives. The strength of OSB board is equal to that of plywood.


Are 2 strands of double knitting equal to 1 of chunky?

Usually yes. The best way to test it is to take a ruler and wrap the two strands together around the ruler continuously for one inch length (make sure the yard does not overlap, nor leave gaps). Then take a strand of chunky yarn and do the same. You should get the same number of rotations around the ruler for each. You may also want to note that using two yarns together of different colors will give you a nice heathered effect in the finished product.


Who to work out the mechanical advantage of a multiple pulleys?

If there are 4 strands holding up the load then the tension in each strand is 1/4 of the load. When the load is raised 1 cm the work done must be achieved by pulling the end by 4 cm because of the reduced force required, but the energy must be the same. Therefore the mechanical advantage is equal to the number of strands supporting the load.


Explain how DNA replication takes place?

An enzyme unzips a DNA stand and a separate strand without base pairs come sup and matches it with the proper ones (A-U)( C-G) making RNA which goes to a ribosome outside the nucleus, makes a protein, makes a new strand of DNA and the other strand re zips with the new DNA strand.


One strand of hair equals mg kg or grams?

The average weight of a single strand of human hair is about 0.62 milligrams (mg). This is equal to 0.00062 grams.


Can cattacggg equal the strand of gtaatgccc?

No, cattacggg cannot be the complementary strand of gtaatgccc because the letters do not match up according to the rule that A pairs with T and C pairs with G.


What i s the basis of chagraff's rule?

Chargaff's rule states that in DNA, the amount of adenine is equal to the amount of thymine, and the amount of cytosine is equal to the amount of guanine. This is because adenine forms complementary base pairs with thymine and cytosine with guanine, ensuring that DNA strands can bind together correctly.


How do you make spandex?

Spandex is a synthetic fiber. It is typically made through one of four processes including melt extrusion, reaction spinning, solution dry spinning, and solution wet spinning. Most of the spandex produced is done so using the solution dry spinning method. In the dry spinning method, a macro glycol with a diisocyanate monomer to produce a prepolymer. The prepolymer is then reacted with an equal amount of diamine. The resulting solution is then cured into fibers and forced through a spinneret. Once the solution is passed through the spinneret, it forms strands of liquid polymer which is heated in the presence of nitrogen and a liquid solvent. This forms strands of solid fiber which are bundled together to a desired thickness. The strands are then treated with a finishing agent. For clothing, spandex is often mixed with either cotton or polyester.

What is fiberglass?

Fiberglass is a composite material reinforcement. Parts made using fiberglass are typically still referred to as "fiberglass." Fiberglass parts are made from strands of glass fiber which are suspended in a polymer (plastic) matrix (resin). Fiberglass cloth is a fabric comprised of strands of glass fibers that are bundled together in different weaves. Unlike carbon fiber, fiberglass can be purchased in the form of cloth where long continuous stands of glass are woven into a fabric using a predetermined weave, or in chopped strand mat where short strands of glass are formed randomly into a fabric and held together by a weak styrene styrene bonding agent. Fiberglass cloth has good direction strength while fibergas mat has a lower strenght but is equal in all directions. The two most common glass types are E-glass and S-glass. S-glass is a higher strength glass reinforcement, sometimes referred to as structural-glass, and as you can imagine it is a bit more expensive.
