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.

The animals would lose their homes and might die because they have no shelter. The plants that are in the exact spot where the house is going to be will die. Overall I think the animal species that lives there would decrease rapidly, which would reduce the biodiversity in the area.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

92.

Explanation:

92 chromatids are visible for humans at prophase stage because the replication of 46 chromosomes occur. When the replication of chromosomes occur, each chromosome is converted into two chromatids so when 46 chromosomes replication occur then it changed into 92 chromatids. So we can say that there is 92 chromatids in humans in the prophase stage of mitosis.

1. Describe what a growth factor is and<br> how it influences the cell cycle.
igomit [66]

Growth factors are hormones, proteins, or steroid molecules that regulate many cellular functions. They can stimulate the cell division by giving the signal to the cell to progress in the cell cycle.  

<u>Explanation</u>:  

Growth factors are naturally produced within the body and travels through the body to bind to their receptors present on their target cells. These growth factors are capable of signalling the cell to divide, proliferate, or heel. Their main aim is to signal or tell other cell when to do and what to do. Due to the binding with the receptors the growth factors activates specific genes.
