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.

When a germ cell undergoes meiosis, which event would MOST likely result in four aneuploid daughter
sveta [45]

Answer:

B. misalignment of the chromosomes during anaphase I

Explanation:

Aneuploidy refers to an error in the chromosomal number of a cell. This occurs when the chromosomes fail to separate equally into individual cells, a process called MEIOTIC NONDISJUNCTION. Meiotic disjunction can occur in either the anaphase stage of meiosis I or meiosis II, however, different outcomes are produced.

When chromosomes fail to separate at meiosis I, it results in two gametes that lack that particular chromosome (n-1) and two gametes with two copies of the chromosome (n+1). This means that the four daughter cells will have an incorrect number of chromosomes, hence, the misalignment of the chromosomes during anaphase I will result in four aneuploid daughter cells.

In the context of brain-tissue implants, what is unique about stem cells? they survive for extended periods outside of the body.
yan [13]
The correct answer is "<span>they can develop into most types of human cells".

Stem cells are cells that are undifferentiated to what function they may serve, depending on the tissue where it will develop in to. In the context of brain tissue implants, these stem cells can develop into brain cells or nerve cells or neurons which comprises the functional brain tissue; this is clinically significant as neurons are not capable of replacing themselves if damaged.</span>
