Q:

The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves

A) Electrons B) Neutrons
C) Protons D) Diodes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Electrons

Explanation:

The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves the transfer of electric charge between them. The cathode is the negative terminal on the battery, which has zero electric potential. The anode is the positive terminal on the battery and has the battery's maximum electric potential. Current flows from the battery's anode (positive terminal) to the cathode (negative terminal). In electron flow, electrons leave the negative side of the battery and move towards the positive side of the battery.

 

Hence, The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves Electrons.

Q:

Where are chromatids found in a cell?

A) Anaphase B) Metaphase
C) Prophase D) None of the above

Explanation:

A chromatid is one copy of a newly copied chromosome which is still joined to the original chromosome by a single centromere.

The two identical copies—each forming one half of the replicated chromosome are called chromatids.

Chromonema is the fibre-like structure in prophase in the primary stage of DNA condensation. In metaphase, they are called chromatids.

Q:

Nucleotides are attached by bonds between the

A) phosphates and sugars B) nitrates and sugars
C) nitrates and phosphates D) sugars and hydrates
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) phosphates and sugars

Explanation:

In DNA, adjacent nucleotides are linked by a phosphodiester bond: a covalent bond is formed between the 5' phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 3'-OH group of another.

 

Hence, in this manner, each strand of DNA has a "backbone" of phosphate-sugar-phosphate-sugar-phosphate.
