I only have one reason but hope it helps!

Because without those bases pairing there would be no structure of a DNA.

DNA stores the information for protein synthesis and RNA carries out the instructions encoded in DNA, most biological activities are carried out by proteins. The accurate synthesis of proteins thus is critical to the proper functioning of cells and organisms. We saw in Chapter 3 that the linear order of amino acids in each protein determines its three-dimensional structure and activity. For this reason, assembly of amino acids in their correct order, as encoded in DNA, is the key to production of functional proteins.

2. What is the longest wavelength?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

red

Explanation:

Visible light may be a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but there are still many variations of wavelengths. We see these variations as colors. On one end of the spectrum is red light, with the longest wavelength. Blue or violet light has the shortest wavelength.

Use the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to place the protein creation steps below in the correct order. Ribosome attaches to the mRNA.

kirza4 [7]

Answer: The correct sequence for the protein creation is as follows-

1) Information is transcribed in DNA to mRNA.

2) mRNA leaves the nucleus.

3) Ribosome attaches to the mRNA.

4) tRNA anticodon carries an amino acid that compliments the mRNA codon.

5) The chain of amino acids forms a protein.

According to the Central Dogma, the genetic information is transferred from DNA to mRNA to Proteins.

The first step is transcription in which DNA is converted to mRNA with the help of enzyme RNA polymerase. In eukaryotic cells, this process occurs in the nucleus.

This is followed by translation, which takes place in the cytoplasm when mRNA leaves the nucleus.

Ribosomes are the specialized organelles, which act as the site for protein synthesis ( translation).

Ribosomes attach to the mRNA. tRNA brings amino acid, which has anticodon complementary to the codon present in the mRNA. A chain of amino acids is thus synthesized, which is called Protein.

Bryophytes never formed forests (mats, yes, but not forests) because ________. a. they possess flagellated sperms.

maria [59]

Answer:

c. They lack lignified vascular tissue

Explanation:

We know that forest consists of tall trees. In the tall trees the water and minerals are transported to the every part of tree through the lignified vasucular tissue. This tissue not only helps in transport within the tree but also provides some sort of mechanical strength due to the presence of lignin it its walls. On the other hand bryophytes are non-vascular plants which means they lack vascular tissue and thus a mechanism for long distnace transport of water and minerals is absent in them. So they can't be taller as a tree and thus can't form forest.

max2010maxim [7]

The term aerobic exercise describes any type of exercise typically performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time that increases the heart rate. In such exercise, oxygen is used to "burn" fats and glucose in order to produce energy in the form of ATP, the basic energy carrier for all cells. Initially, glycogen is broken down to produce glucose, but in its absence, fat metabolism is initiated instead. Aerobic exercise is an exercise performed at a moderately high level of intensity over a long period of time. For example, running a long distance at a moderate pace.
