Q

How do sympodial plants grow

A

Outwards from auxillary meristems. The main stem ceases to elongate at the end of each cycle and growth resumes from lateral meristems (branching shrubs)

Q

What is the difference between a terminal bud on other flowering trees compared to the terminal bud of a grapevine

A

terminal buds on fruiting trees go dormant in the winter and then grow from that bud’s apical meristem again in the spring.
grapevines terminal bud’s apical meristems die each season, and growth the following spring comes from lateral shoot buds

51
Q

DNA

A

deoxyribonucleic acid; carries genetic information in all multicellular forms of life.

A

ATGC
adenine always pairs with thymine
guanine always pairs with cytosine

54
Q

Explain how DNA becomes protien instructions

A

The ATGC bases along a single strand of DNA act as three letter codes - each code is a building block for protiens.
The enzyme RNA transcribes DNA into mRNA (messenger RNA) by unzipping the two strands of DNA and reading/copying the single strand sequence nucleotides. mRNA replaces the Thymine with another base Uracil.
The mRNA carries the genetic code out of nucleus and to the cytoplasm - protein synthesis takes place by ribosomes
