Nails are made of iron because, iron is strong and sturdy; although nail rust when it undergoes oxidation when expose to water but it is not explosive. 
Barium and phosphorus are not suitable for nail making because of their properties.
Barium is an element which reacts with virtually all non metals, forming poisonous products which are dangerous to health and to the environment. It also reacts explosively with water.
Phosphorus is not found in its pure form in nature, it conducts electricity and it is combustible in nature.<span />

Its a sex linked disorder and it makes stopping the bleeding slower in affected individuals.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive disorder which occurs due to a gene present in the X chromosome. The presence of this gene in males surely make the individual hemophilic because the Y chromosome doesn't contain any dominant factor of this gene. In females, the recessive individuals become carriers without expression of this gene. Only the dominant individuals in females expresses Hemophilia.

Its a disease where the Christmas factor (Factor IX) or the antihemophilic factor(Factor VIII) is absent in the affected individual. This makes the cascade theory incomplete and there's a defect in blood clotting in both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Thus the persons if starts bleeding, loses a lot of blood before coming to a stability.

exis [7]

Answer:

DNA is a double helix and has base-pairing between nucleotides through the use of hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

The nucleotides are made up of a nitrogen base [base-pairing adenine (A) with thymine (T) and guanine (G) with cytosine (C)], a phosphate, and a deoxyribose (sugar); all of which are held together by hydrogen bonds. The binding allows the DNA to have a sugar-phosphate backbone connected with hydrogen bonds because they are firm but also easy to break (for DNA transcription)
