Chapter 5, Problem 8

Construct a table that organizes the following terms, and label the columns and rows.

Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the terms that need to be organized and understand their relationships or categories.
Decide on the labels for the columns and rows based on common characteristics or classifications of the terms.
Create a table with the appropriate number of columns and rows, and label them according to the categories identified.
Place each term in the correct cell of the table based on its characteristics and the labels of the columns and rows.
Review the table to ensure all terms are correctly categorized and the table is organized logically.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Data Organization

Data organization refers to the systematic arrangement of information in a structured format, such as tables. This process helps in categorizing and presenting data clearly, making it easier to analyze and interpret. In biology, organizing terms into tables can facilitate comparisons and highlight relationships between different concepts.

Table Structure

A table structure consists of rows and columns that intersect to form cells, where data is displayed. Each column typically represents a specific variable or category, while each row corresponds to a particular observation or item. Understanding how to effectively label and format a table is crucial for clarity and effective communication of information.

Labeling Conventions

Labeling conventions involve the standardized methods used to name and categorize data in tables. Proper labeling ensures that the information is easily understood by the audience, providing context for the data presented. In scientific contexts, clear and precise labels are essential for conveying the significance of the terms being organized.

Textbook Question

DRAW IT Copy the polynucleotide strand in Figure 5.23a and label the bases G, T, C, and T, starting from the 5′ end. Assuming this is a DNA polynucleotide, now draw the complementary strand, using the same symbols for phosphates (circles), sugars (pentagons), and bases. Label the bases. Draw arrows showing the 5'→3' direction of each strand. Use the arrows to make sure the second strand is antiparallel to the first. Hint: After you draw the first strand vertically, turn the paper upside down; it is easier to draw the second strand from the 5′ toward the 3′ direction as you go from top to bottom.
