Answer:

Option A, In DNA, each base pairs up with only one other base.

Explanation:

DNA is made up of two complementary nucleotide (also referred to as base pairs). It is the purine which associates with the pyrimidine group.

The four bases in DNA are

• adenine (A) - a purine

• cytosine(C) - a pyrimidine

• guanine (G) - a purine

• thymine (T) - a pyrimidine

Adenine is complementary to thymine and cytosine is complementary to guanine . Thus, Adenine forms complementary pair with thymine and cytosine forms complementary pair with guanine.

Hence, option A is correct.

Imagine you are a science teacher, and your students are performing a flame test. this experiment involves the use of a bunsen b

choli [55]

The teacher should discuss safety procedure with students at the beginning of the experiment or laboratory assignment. The teacher should give list of rules for students.

1. Always wear safety goggles.

2. Never touch or rub eyes of face during science investigation.

3. Keep lids on when not in use.

4. Never use broken/chipped glassware.

Using your knowledge of cytokinesis, what is the best description for how cytokinesis differs between plants and animals?

Colt1911 [192]

<span>Animal cells have a cleavage furrow which will pinch the cytoplasm into two nearly equal parts. While plant cells have a cell plate that forms halfway between the divided nuclei. Division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. Plant cells divide by a cell plate that eventually becomes the cell wall. Cytoplasm and cell membranes are necessary for cytokinesis in both plants and animals.</span>
