» Is it true that your gpa does not transfer, just your credits, when you transfer colleges?

i thought everything transferred but my mom said that only your credits transfers, your grades do not, so your gpa resets basically...is this true?I think it depends on the school you are transferring to.When I transferred, my credits came but not the GPA - it started over. Friends who have transferred had the same experience, so it's probably universal.gpa change pending on how the schools calculate gpa. I had a 3.5 out of uhcl and 3.1 transferring into uh central. the latter dropped classes from my community college while the other accepted some c grade classes. your gpa will only reset back to nothing if u are going to a start a new degree plan so different that it doesn't accept any of your prior course work.There are tw...... - 2009-07-04

» Will debt settlements damage your credit?

Actually, yes. You are not paying as agreed. However, it's better to pay it than not to. As it ages off your score will go up, if you rebuild your credit too. What you need to know about debt settlement firms: Your credit card companies are not going to offer you settlements like 50%, for example, if you are current (not behind) on your payments. If credit card companies offered settlements to people who are current on their payments, then everyone would be calling them up and asking for 50% settlements. Basically, the only way you can get into a position to negotiate settlements is to deliberately let your accounts go into default. This is exactly what debt settlement firms do....They take a monthly amount from you and use tha...... - 2009-07-04

Call each of the debts and try to get the interest lowered. Then decrease your expenses. Don't eat out. Get rid of the cable. Get rid of the cell phone. Etc. Then, make the minimum payments on each debt. On the one with the lowest balance, put all your extra money to it.

» Explanation for the structure of bases in DNA/RNA?

is it neccesray for the nitrogenous bases to join to sugar in DNA/RNA?cant it join to the phosporic acid?If you look at the chemical structure there is no where for the base to bond. The P at any point in the chain is surrounded by 4 oxygen, and it would be too hard for P to make any more bonds.Yes.. Taylor is right.. to form the nucleotide local dehydration has to occur. The sugar is able to bond both nitrogenous base and phosphate because it has an -OH group in two different positions that can bond to phosphateon one side and base on other side, without causing too much of steric hinderance ...... - 2009-07-04
