babychubbs Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) I am hoping someone has study this and will be able to help me out with some of the following questions that have been keeping me up all night! Thanks!! 1) In what way are fungi and plants alike? 2) Dna has two parts that must link up in a particular order of letters. If you have a short piece of dna with sequence of letters, GCTGAACTG , the other half of the dna would have which sequence of letters? 3) Give the common English language name AND the proper scientific name in binomial form, for any TWO organisms from any TWO different kingdoms. 4) On Febuary 28th , 1953 , a very important and famous discovery in science occured. What was the discovery made at Cambridge University in England? 5) IF you observed green, cellular, threadlike structures on a dead leaf, to what kingdom might this organism belong? match the following. kingdom, class, order, phylum, family, bacteria, genus, protist with one of the following.... 1. group of related classes 2. group of related species 3. group of related phyla 4. eukaryote lacking complex organ systems 5. group of related orders 6. microscopic, single-celled prokaryotes. A Dna nucleotide may be made up of a phosphate group, along with a. deoxyribose sugar and thymine b. ribose sugar and cytosine c. ribose sugar and adenine d. deoxyribose sugar and uracil Edited November 13, 2007 by babychubbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8nfinity Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I don't remember the whole kingdom stuff, we learned that in grade 11 and I can't recall that much back then. Its been 2 years since then. For 2) GCTGAACTG.. you just find the matching nucleic acid, like guanine pairs with cytosine in DNA and adenine pairs with thymine. Therefore, the answer for 2) would be: CGACTTGAC. For 4.. this one is quite obvious, i'm starting to get suspicious about the fact that you spent "all night" up on these questions. Even if you didn't know it, simple research would reveal that it was the day that the DNA double helical structure was discovered. Its simple biology/chemistry info. For 7, since it is DNA, DNA has a deoxyribose sugar, not a ribose sugar (therefore b and c answers are eliminated). Then, you have to look at the nucleic acids in DNA, in DNA the nucleic acids are thymine, adenine, guanine and cytosine. In RNA, the uracil is present. Therefore, it cannot be D) since we are dealing with DNA not RNA. Therefore, your answer is A) DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, complementary nucleic acid (thymine in this case) and a phosphate group. Hope this helps although you should get some sleep next time and do the questions in the morning. Maybe someone else can help you out with the kindom/order questions since I simply forgot those.

Brodel Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 you can't be serious, you only have to google "February 28th , 1953 Cambridge" to find the 4th one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurë Veteran Posted November 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 13, 2007 Google + attending classes will help you do your homework you know. If you can't be bothered to make an effort, you're going to fail anyway, so why bother at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunafish Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Gah this is getting stupid, how ABOUT you TRY and do it https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...t=0&start=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keito Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 ehhrm, to be honest - the answers should be in any textbook... I'm studying biology at university, but these questions were certainly answered in my high school books - maybe not the phylum ones, but there should be a diagram or something where you can see in a blink of an eye what you're trying to look for. Like tunafish stated, you're not asking for HELP - you're asking for answers... Help is when you've tried to solve something, or you can't comprehend something and you want it to be clarified - not plain answers... it's like HELP WHAT IS 2+3? You're expecting "5" as an answer, an that's not helping, that's 'do my homework' - I would've been more willing to help if you went like "why is 2+3=5 and not 6 like I am getting/thinking?" anyways; here goes - cause I'm in a decent mood; 1 - should be in your textbook near the "wtf are fungi?"-section 2 - answered previously 3 - Go to wikipedia, look up two animals. 4 - UTFG 5 - dead leaf... hmm, what might process dead material? could it be... fungi? bacteria?! woah 6 - yet again, should be listed in your textbook really clearly... it's basically the definition :\ 7 - DNA - deoxyribose + nucleic acid which can be G, C, A, T - Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine, Thymine... should be clear enough now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregb0b Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 The time the OP spent posting this he/she could have found all the answers in their text book. What ever happened to the days of actually looking up stuff? Man.... real life is going to wack some people in the face really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilliant naoki Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I am hoping someone has study this and will be able to help me out with some of the following questions that have been keeping me up all night! Thanks!! 1) Plants and Fungus 2) DNA and DNA Sequencing 3) Alpha Taxonomy 4) Google search for February 28th, 1953 5) Types of kingdoms 6) Alpha Taxonomy 7) DNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me i have tried and asking for people is not a problem some people out there,actually nice and are willing to help. IF you dont want to thats fine, don't bother, don't go critizing people!! Because for all you know i have made an effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mezoko Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Do you not have a text book? I took biology last year, and I'm not an expert by any means but any reasonable text book should have those answers. You might just have to read the damn thing. Trust me I hate reading the books but it actually (shock) helpful! I don't mind helping people with homework but not when they post there whole damn homework assignment.

addc182 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 do your own homework maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanVP Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 dude...forget about asking for answers to your damn homework. Hell, I posted a math problem several days ago and never got a straight answer! Better luck asking somewhere else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymunky Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 You copied and pasted those questions directly from your homework assignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted November 14, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 14, 2007 If you couldn't answer those questions without a simple google/wikipedia search or by reading your textbook--I'm sorry. :| Example: http://www.google.com/search?q=fungi%20plants%20similar It was the second link. Certainly doesn't seem like an effort to me. closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
