Answer:

Complementary pairing held by hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is polynucleotide made up of nucleotide subunits (four). The nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These nucleotides are arranged on the DNA in two long chains. Each of these chains is called the DNA strand. The base portions of the nucleotides are held together by hydrogen bonds. This pairing of nucleotides is responsible for the double-helical structure of DNA.

Hydrogen bonds hold together complementary base pairs i.e. each base held together is complementary to one another. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby in DNA, Adenine (A) always binds to Thymine (T), while Guanine (G) always binds to Cytosine (C).

Note that, Adenine and Guanine are purine bases while Cytosine and Thymine are pyrimidine bases. In the nucleotide base pairing in DNA, purines binds to pyrimidines and vice versa

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: Movement along fault line

Explanation:

Here's the remainder of the question:

Which map best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years?

A transform fault is simply refered to a as a fault that occurs along the plate boundary such that the motion in such case is horizontal and ends when there's a connection with another plate boundary.

Based on the question, the map that best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years will be a movement along fault line.

George works in an air conditioner manufacturing company. Which pollutant is likely to be produced from air conditioning?
Alexus [3.1K]

The right option is A. hydrofluorocarbons

Hydrofluorocarbons are  pollutants that are likely to be produced from air conditioning.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic fluorinated strong greenhouse gases that are strongly accumulating in the atmosphere. Hydrofluorocarbons are mainly used as refrigerants. Hydrofluorocarbons are used to replace ozone depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons which are being phased out in air conditioning, refrigeration, foam blowing agents, and solvents. Hydrofluorocarbons are responsible for about 20% of climate pollution by 2050
