  2. Directionality (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directionality_(molecular...

    The 3′-end (three prime end) of a strand is so named due to it terminating at the hydroxyl group of the third carbon in the sugar-ring, and is known as the tail end. The 3′-hydroxyl is necessary in the synthesis of new nucleic acid molecules as it is ligated (joined) to the 5′-phosphate of a separate nucleotide, allowing the formation of ...

  3. Sticky and blunt ends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_and_blunt_ends

    A single-stranded non-circular DNA molecule has two non-identical ends, the 3' end and the 5' end (usually pronounced "three prime end" and "five prime end"). The numbers refer to the numbering of carbon atoms in the deoxyribose, which is a sugar forming an important part of the backbone of the DNA molecule.

    3' untranslated region (3'-UTR). Also three-prime untranslated region, 3' non-translated region (3'-NTR), and trailer sequence.. 3'-end. Also three-prime end.. One of two ends of a single linear strand of DNA or RNA, specifically the end at which the chain of nucleotides terminates at the third carbon atom in the furanose ring of deoxyribose or ribose (i.e. the terminus at which the 3' carbon ...

  5. DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

    DNA strands have a directionality, and the different ends of a single strand are called the "3′ (three-prime) end" and the "5′ (five-prime) end". By convention, if the base sequence of a single strand of DNA is given, the left end of the sequence is the 5′ end, while the right end of the sequence is the 3end.

  6. Grassland - Wikipedia

    Although it still covers a large area of the earth (10.6%). [15] A quarter of semi-natural grassland was lost through intensification, i.e. it was converted into arable or pasture land and forests. [45] It is more likely that intensification will occur in flat semi-natural grasslands, especially if the soil is fertile.

  7. Prime end - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_end

    The set of prime ends of the domain B is the set of equivalence classes of chains of arcs converging to a point on the boundary of B. In this way, a point in the boundary may correspond to many points in the prime ends of B, and conversely, many points in the boundary may correspond to a point in the prime ends of B. [3]

  8. Everglades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everglades

    Marjory Stoneman Douglas described the area as a "River of Grass" in 1947, though that metaphor represents only a portion of the system. The area recognized as the Everglades, prior to drainage, was a web of marshes and prairies 4,000 square miles (10,000 km 2) in size. [36] Borders between ecosystems are subtle or imperceptible.

A national grassland is an area of protected and managed federal lands in the United States authorized by Title III of the Bankhead–Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937 and managed by the United States Forest Service.
