The nitrogenous bases placed in between the DNA double helix strands, like rungs on a ladder, are positioned there because of the hydrophobic effect and are stabilized by hydrogen bonding. The stability of DNA also relies on the interactions between the hydrogen bonds between bases, hydrogen bonds between bases and surrounding water, and base interaction between neighboring bases.

Hydrogen bonds are able to stabilize the DNA double helix by pairing up with their complementary base pairs (guanine with cytosine and adenine with thymine)

Hope this was able to help you! I went through my answer and bolded the more important parts, and parts more useful for answering the question.

George Beadle concluded that teosinte is the likely ancestor of maize (corn), even though the two plants appear very different.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

ALL options are as follows -

a. teosinte and maize can produce fertile hybrids.

b. teosinte and maize have similar chromosomes.

c. Both Teosinte and maize have naked, soft kernel.

d. Teosinte and maize can produce fertile hybrids

Solution

Beadle started working on maize genetics since 1962 after joining graduate school at Cornell University.  

During his research he found that the chromosomes of teosinte and maize possess higher similarity and also show signs of intercross ability of the two species and hence confirmed that wild teosinte is an ancestor of domesticated maize.  

He later concluded that there are only 4 to 5 genes that make these two species different from each other rest all is similar.  

Option B is correct
