Answer:

d) alternating sugars and phosphates.

Explanation:

DNA is a molecule which acts as the genetic material of the organisms on Earth. The DNA is made of the monomer units called nucleotides which are composed of a sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate group and two types of nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines).

The DNA structure is known as the double-helical model which gives a ladder-like appearance in a twisted manner. The backbone of the ladder or DNA is made of the deoxyribose sugar and the phosphate group whereas the nitrogenous bases are arranged inside the DNA.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

NEED HELP ASAP: List two ways in which the atmosphere would be impacted in the absence of the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

If there would be no biosphere on earth the atmosphere would be quite different. There would be no oxygen to support because oxygen is liberated by plants in photosynthesis so no plants means no oxygen. The earth would be a planet without life just like Venus and Mars. Therefore, no organism would be surviving in the world.

There would be no  negligible green house effect and global warming since it is all created due to activities of men.The earth's atmosphere would be much cleaner and with lesser amount of CO2 and O2 but no organism would be there to use them.

Hope it help!
