Biological molecules such as proteins and DNA reveal differences between humans and chimps that would have taken around 7 million years to accumulate.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

All known animals and viruses have genetic information in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid, a polymer consisting of two polynucleotide chains that coil around one another to form a double helix. Ribonucleic acid is a type of nucleic acid, as is DNA.

The two DNA strands are known as polynucleotides because they are constructed from simpler monomeric units called nucleotides.

The four nucleobases that contain nitrogen—cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), or thymine (T)—along with deoxyribose and a phosphate group—make up each nucleotide. The sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the following make covalent bonds, creating what is known as the phospho-diester linkage, which results in an alternating sugar-phosphate backbone.

Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. </span>

Avery's experiments showed that bacteria are transformed by:
Wittaler [7]

Avery's experiments showed that bacteria are transformed by “transforming principle” – DNA.

When Griffit in his experiments showed that R-strain bacteria (non-virulent) could be transformed by the heat-killed S bacteria, and become virulent, scientists assumed that there is some kind of “transforming principle” that is involved.

Avery and his colleagues cultured heat-killed S cells and tried t separate cellular components that could possibly be that “transforming principle”. Molecule of DNA gave positive result in a chemical test and also when enzymes able to degrade DNA were introduced, the transforming activity was eliminated.

navik [9.2K]
The answer should be reptiles!

The characteristics of reptiles are:

1. They are four-legged

2. They have an outer covering of scales

3. They breathe with the aid of lungs

4. Although most reptiles lay eggs, some also give birth to live young (fertilise internally)!

I hope this helps! :)

What do the polar bears, reindeer, and shrubs that live in a single area make up?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: A COMMUNITY

Explanation:

A biotic community, also known as a biota or ’biocoenosis’, is the group of ORGANISMS of two or more different species that live together and interact with each other within an environment or habitat. Together, the biotic community and the physical landscape or abiotic factors make up an ECOSYSTEM.

A group of organisms constitute POPULATION. But when several populations share a common habitat and its resources, they interact among them­selves and develop into a biotic community or sim­ply, a community.
