Lavanya Menon answered |
RNA can directly control the synthesis of proteins, hence can easily express the characters. DNA, however, is dependent on RNA for synthesis of proteins. The protein synthesising machinery has evolved around RNA.

Rajdeep Saini answered |
The active form of vitamin D is calcitriol.
Calcitriol, also known as 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, is the active form of vitamin D in the body. It is the biologically active metabolite that is synthesized from calcidiol, also known as 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, which is the storage form of vitamin D.
Explanation:
1. Vitamin D and its forms:
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health and calcium homeostasis. It exists in several forms, including vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which are obtained from dietary sources or synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight.
2. Conversion of vitamin D to its active form:
When vitamin D2 or D3 is ingested or synthesized, it undergoes a series of metabolic conversions in the liver and kidneys to become the active form of vitamin D. The first step involves hydroxylation in the liver, where vitamin D is converted to calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D3) through the action of the enzyme 25-hydroxylase.
3. Activation of calcidiol to calcitriol:
The second and final step in the activation of vitamin D occurs in the kidneys. Calcidiol undergoes further hydroxylation by the enzyme 1-alpha-hydroxylase, resulting in the formation of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3). This conversion is tightly regulated by various factors, including parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium levels, and phosphate levels.
4. Biological functions of calcitriol:
Calcitriol acts as a hormone and binds to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in target tissues, such as the intestines, bones, and kidneys. It regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestines, promotes bone mineralization by increasing calcium and phosphate uptake, and helps maintain normal blood calcium levels. Calcitriol also has non-skeletal functions, including modulation of immune responses and cell growth.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the active form of vitamin D is calcitriol, which is synthesized from calcidiol through the action of 1-alpha-hydroxylase in the kidneys. Calcitriol plays a crucial role in maintaining calcium homeostasis and bone health, as well as other physiological processes in the body.

The structure of nucleotide and nucleoside units are distinguished primarily by the presence (or lack thereof) of this phosphate group. Deoxyribose in DNA differs from the ribose found in RNA in that it has only a hydrogen atom in the same position that ribose has a hydroxyl (-OH) group.

Divey Sethi answered |
The correct answer is option B & D.
One of the common disaccharides is sucrose which on hydrolysis gives an equimolar mixture of D−(+)− glucose and D−(−) fructose. These two monosaccharides are held together by a glycosidic linkage between Cl of α- glucose and C2 of β- fructose. Since the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in glycosidic bond formation, sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

Thus, in DNA, the purines adenine (A) and guanine (G) pair up with the pyrimidines thymine (T) and cytosine (C), respectively. In RNA, the complement of adenine (A) is uracil (U) instead of thymine (T), so the pairs that form are adenine:uracil and guanine:cytosine.
