Answer:

The correct answer is c. If the double helix were unwound, each nucleotide along the two parent strands would form a hydrogen bond with its complementary nucleotide.

Explanation:

DNA is made up of nucleotide which contains a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. So each strand of DNA is joined together by phosphodiester bond formed between two ribose sugar.

DNA is made up of two antiparallel strands of Polynucleotide and these two strands are joined together with the help of hydrogen bonds formed between the two complementary nitrogenous bases.

Adenine forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine in DNA and guanine form three hydrogen bonds with cytosine. Therefore the correct answer is c. If the double helix were unwound, each nucleotide along the two-parent strands would form a hydrogen bond with its complementary nucleotide.

Answer:

c. If the double helix were unwound, each nucleotide along the two parent strands would form a hydrogen bond with its complementary nucleotide.

Explanation:

According to the Watson-Crick model, two DNA strands are held together by complementary base pairing wherein each nucleotide of one DNA strand forms hydrogen bonds with its complementary nucleotide present in the other strand. During DNA replication, two DNA strands are separated by the action of helicases enzymes.

The separated DNA strands serve as a template for DNA replication. Here, each nucleotide of the template DNA strand binds to its complementary nucleotide by hydrogen bonds. For example, adenine of the template strand forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine while guanine forms three hydrogen bonds with cytosine.

Please help me I desperately need it
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

D) Water temperature decreases; copper temperature increases

Explanation:

The temperature is a way of describing how much heat something has. Because the temperatures of the two substances are not the same, the heat is going to want to travel to the substance with less heat. Therefore, since the copper has less heat than the water, the heat will be transferred to the copper. Remember that this heat is now leaving the water. This increases the temperature of the copper and decreases the temperature of the water.

What did Rosalinda franklin contribute to the effort to identify the structure of dna
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

As Rosalind's acknowledgment of being perhaps one of the most wronged women in modern science, her boss, the molecular biologist Maurice Wilkins, stopped her in the 1950s. Wilkins did not accept her as the author of the discovery of the helical shape of DNA, offend Rosalind in several letters he exchanged with other scientists from the same field.

Why where phosphates removed from dishwasher detergents
Vikki [24]
So she says without phosphates, people have to wash or rinse their dishes before they put them in the dishwasher, which wastes water. Or they run their dishwasher twice, which wastes electricity. ... That's what happened with laundry detergents after phosphates were removed from them years ago
