<u>Brief description about how the SHAPE of DNA:</u>

DNA is a double helical structure.  The structure of DNA was described by Watson and Creek. They were scientists who got the structure of the DNA by Xray crystallography. They said that the DNA is a double helical structure that is composed of two sugar phosphate backbones that are having one nitrogen base on each sugar molecule.

Each sugar phosphate backbone is at an angle of 36° with the preceding or the succeeding one. They are placed at 20A apart. Each nitrogen base is either Adenine, thymine, guanine or cytosine. Adenine is complementary to thymine and guanine to cytosine. They are complementarily present on the two corresponding sugar phosphates chains. They are 34A to complete one full cycle of the helix.

Harvey is studying the turtles that live in a pond. His knowledge of ecology will be MOST USEFUL for explaining which of these o
sleet_krkn [62]

So whats the answer. My best logical guess is D. Why would the turtle have to go above the water. If their living in a pond, then studying them above water makes no sense. So it's most useful if they are remaining underwater for many minutes at a time then reach for the surface, so that's the answer most likely, but i have no idea.

So... <em>D. A turtle may remain underwater for several minutes, but then surfaces for at least a brief moment.</em>
