Answer: d. none of the other answers

Explanation:

Enzymes that turn chemical energy into mechanical work are molecular motors.

There are three main components of cytoskeleton including microtubules, actin filaments and Intermediate filaments. Only actin filaments and microtubules carry the motor-driven transport on the cytoskeleton.

The most important feature of intermediate filaments is to provide the plasma membrane with mechanical support where it comes into contact with the extracellular matrix and other cells.

Unlike microtubules and microfilament , intermediate filaments are not involved in motility of the cells, hence do not associat with molecular motors.

Hence, the correct option is d.

Within a double-stranded DNA molecule, adenine forms hydrogen bonds with thymine, and cytosine forms hydrogen bonds with guanine

vova2212 [387]

Within a double-stranded DNA molecule, adenine forms hydrogen bonds with thymine, and cytosine forms hydrogen bonds with guanine This signifies <u>determining the type of protein produced</u>

DNA's unique structure enables the molecule to copy itself during cell division. The double-helix shape allows for DNA replication and protein synthesis to occur. Each of the two strands in double-stranded DNA acts as a template to produce two new strands.

Replication relies on complementary base pairing, that is the principle explained by Chargaff's rules: adenine (A) always bonds with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) always bonds with guanine (G).
