Answer:

X represents nitrogen base pairs-  adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is a molecule that carries genetic information for growth, functioning, development, and reproduction. It is composed of nucleotides that contain a phosphate group, a sugar group, and nitrogen bases (adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine).

Nucleotides are linked together to form two long strands that coiled spirally to create a structure called a double helix. Just think of the double helix as a ladder. The phosphate and sugar groups would be the two sides of the ladder, while the nitrogen bases would be the rungs of the ladder. The bases adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine.

Thus, the correct answer would be base pairs.

Why is embryonic stem cells used in the treatment of physiological diseases
lesantik [10]
Embryonic stem cells have the ability to become all types of cells.
That means that those stem cells can become kidney cells, lung cells etc.
If you nurture these stem cells with healty cells from a tissue or an organ, those stem cells will eventually grow into and become the same as the cells you nurtured the with.

This means that you could use embryonic stem cells to create healthy kidneys, skin and other types of tissues/organs.

erma4kov [3.2K]

The taxon that consists of one or more genera (plural form of genus) is the <u>family</u>.

Explanation:

According to the modern taxonomic classification system, there are eight major levels of division – Domain, Kingdom, Phyllum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

Family is the taxonomic order which comes next to the Order and before Genus and consists of one or more genus or genera but sharing a common attributes. The ancestral origin of the family members remains the same.  

The kinds of families depend upon the Kingdoms and Orders in the taxonomy. Carl Linnaeus termed family as familia in his classification and divided the major plant groups or families as trees, palms, ferns etc.  

Among the family of carnivores in animals, there are many genera like Canidae, Felidae Ursidae etc.

Which of the following two events occur to create a sea breeze? Select all that apply. Warm air rises on the ocean and moves tow
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Warm air rises on land and moves toward the ocean to cool

Cool air moves from the ocean to be warmed by the land

Explanation:

The land heats up faster than the oceans during the day. This is because water has a high heat capacity and takes more energy to raise its temperatures by one degree (even in comparison to land). Therefore land heats up the air above it faster than the oceans. The air mass over land rises due to drop in density. The cooler and denser air mass above the oceans moves towards land to replace the rising warm air. This creates a cool breeze felt on land during the day as the cool air rushes in.
