(a) Explanation The anticlotting property of heparin is partly due to the presence of the negative charge on the functional groups. The groups that carry negative charge are the carboxyl group and sulphate group which are ionized to -COO (b) Interpretation Introduction Interpretation: The type of heparin which is better anticoagulant, the one with high degree of polymerization or the one with low degree of polymerization has to be given.

Coding Strand of DNA

When pointing to DNA transcription, the coding strand is found to be the DNA strand whose base sequence is indistinguishable from the base sequence of the RNA transcript developed. It is this strand that comprises the codons, while the non-coding strand …

Nucleotide

Both DNA and RNA are composed of organic molecules known as nucleotides. Hence, nucleotides are known as the basic building blocks of nucleic acids. These substances play a role in various processes such as cell signalling, enzyme reactions, metabolism, …
