The statement that is false about base stacking is; B. Stacking interactions are hydrophilic in nature.

<h3>What is the truth about Base Stacking?</h3>

Base stacking is defined as a common arrangement of nucleobases that are found in the three dimensional structure of nucleic acids. Bases (or base pairs) are planar, and these planes stack at contact distance , excluding water and maximizing Van der Waals interactions.

Looking at the given options, the only one that can be said to be false about the defined base stacking above as regards nucleic acids is option B.

The missing options are;

A. Stacking interactions occur when two or more bases are positioned with their rings parallel to each other.

B. Stacking interactions are hydrophilic in nature.

C. Stacking involves a combination of van der Waals and dipole-dipole interactions between bases.

D. Base stacking helps to minimize contact of the bases with water.

E. Base stacking interactions are important in stabilizing the three-dimensional structure of nucleic acids.

The diagram shows a bacterium. Which labels best complete the diagram
Sliva [168]

Answer:

X - Flagellum, Y - Bacterial DNA, Z - Cytoplasm

Explanation:

A bacterium is a living thing that are majorly known for causing diseases but are important for human life.

A bacterium is also consist of several organelles such as cell wall, cytoplasm, flagellum,  bacterial DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes and others.

The diagram shows three main organelles that are X - Flagellum, Y - Bacterial DNA, Z - Cytoplasm. Flagella functions for the locomotion of the bacteria, bacterial DNA is a genetic material of the bacteria, and cytoplasm is a gel-like matrix composed of enzymes, water, nutrients and other waste material.

Hence, the correct answer is "X - Flagellum, Y - Bacterial DNA, Z - Cytoplasm".
