Hi, I understand what make metal a conductor of electricity, but what allows it to conduct heat? Is it that it does not absorb heat because it's electrons are easily liberated?

I'm trying to work out genetic probabilities using the punnet square. Let's say I have 2 shirts and 2 pants. The odds of me wearing shirt #1 is 1/2. The odds of me wearing pants #1 is 1/2. Does this mean that the odds of me wearing shirt #1 or Pants #1 is 1 (100%) (addition rule - 1/2 + 1/2)...

THanks for the reply You say that cold blooded animals "can't move as fast" while warm blooded animals move faster. I thought: cold blooded = less heat = more ATP = more energy to move warm = more heat = less ATP = less energy to move Is what you said about cold blooded animals not...

Hi, Cold blooded animals don't produce body heat to keep themselves warm. Why is this? Is their metabolism more efficient (produce more ATP rather than heat)?

thank you guys for replying. BoomBoom, that's exactly what I wanted to know... how do the enzymes differentiate which way to go. thanks

1) Without cutting the DNA, there is no way to tell which strand is going in which direction? Is this correct? 2) If we can't tell which strand is which, how can the polymerase differentiate? Thanks

I appreciate your replies, Once the 3' end joins the 5' end to make a circle, you really can't tell where the 3' and 5' ends start. Is this correct? thanks

Hi, To my understanding, the directionality of DNA (3' to 5') (5' to 3') is based on where the free(unattached) end of the ribose is. With this idea, how can bacterial DNA (where the ends are joined together) have directionality?
