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.

Which labeled placemark in the layers folder represents the stratosphere?

Leya [2.2K]

The atmosphere is divided into different regions, called layers. The layer closest to the surface is known as troposphere, after which comes the stratosphere. The stratosphere begins at an altitude of 10 miles above the surface of the earth and stretches up to 31 miles above the surface of the earth. It is the second layer of the atmosphere (beginning from the surface of the earth) and it is the region which contains ozone, which plays a vital role in stopping ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth's surface.

ipn [44]

The condition of acidosis can also cause hyperkalemia because the higher H+ concentration diffuses to the intracellular fluid, pushing K+ towards the extracellular fluid.
Hyperkalemia describes a potassium level in the blood which is higher than normal. Potassium is a vital substance to the function of nerve and muscle cells, including those of the heart. Blood potassium is normally 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter.

Pancreatic and intestinal enzymes operate optimally at a pH that is slightly alkaline, yet the chyme entering the duodenum from

lora16 [44]

Answer: By the help of the fluid delivered from the pancreas.

Explanation:

The human body is a very complex system consisting of many organ and organ system.

One of those systems is the the digestive system. By the help of this system the digestion and absorption of food takes place.

There are numerous number of enzymes involved in the digestion of the food released by various organs. The pancreatic and intestinal enzymes are secreted that work at alkaline pH, but the chyme that is secreted from the deodenum is slightly acidic yet they work together.

This is because pancreas pour enzyme into small intestine which is alkaline and it then secretes huge amount of sodium bicarbonate which neutralizes the acidity of the stomach and makes the pH optimum for the digestion of food.
