Answer:

The correct answer would be pairs of nitrogen bases.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double helical structure formed by two strands of DNA.

Deoxyribose sugar and phosphate are linked with phospho-di-ester bond and serve as the backbone of the DNA strands.

Nitrogenous bases are attached to the sugar with the help of glycosidic bond.

Nitrogenous base of one strand forms hydrogen bonds with the nitrogenous bases of the other strands to provide the stability to the structure.

First question:
a. Gastrulation
Gastrulation is a phase<span> of the </span>embryonic development<span> in </span>animals. It doesn't occur in plants or any other organism. The other options can be put apart because <span>multicellularity, sexual reproduction, and </span>flagellated sperm are also characteristics that are present in plants, for example. Heterotrophic nutrition is something that's part of all <span>animals as well as non green plants.

Second question:
a. M</span><span>ulticellularity
</span>Synapomorphy is <span>a shared </span>trait <span>that distinguishes a </span>clade<span> from other organisms. C</span>hoanoflagellates are considered the most close ancestors to the animals distinguishing from them by multicellularity. They are very studied with the purpose to know the mechanisms of colonies' formation and evolution to multicellular animals.

Third question:
<span>d. Choanoflagellates
This are the most closely related living protist group. The </span>choanoflagellates are very similar to the ch<span>oanocytes of the sponges bringing them into closeness with the animals. They even aggregate in colonies, and are thought, because of all of this, to be the closest branch of single cells to that of the animals.</span>

Will there be any snow if water couldnt evaporate? Explain
dangina [55]

Answer:

Short answer: No

Explanation:

Water vapor is created by evaporation creating moisture aka humidity in the air, once water vapor reaches high altitudes it freezes creating snowflakes which then turn around and fall creating snow.  

Because snow formation requires moisture, very cold but very dry areas may rarely receive snow. Antarctica's Dry Valleys, for instance, form the largest ice-free portion of the continent. The Dry Valleys are quite cold but have very low humidity, and strong winds help wick any remaining moisture from the air. As a result, this extremely cold region receives little snow.
