Answer:

250 H bonds

Explanation:

The Chargaff rule states that a  DNA molecule has the following features-

1. Purine binds pyrimidines through hydrogen bond

2. The sum of purine and pyrimidine is equal to 1.

3. Adenine binds thymine always (involve two H bonds)

4. Guanine binds cytosine (involves three H bonds)

In the given question,

guanine bases- 50, therefore, cytosine bases will be 50  

H bond will be 50 x 3 = 150 bonds

Similarly,  

Adenine bases will be 50 equal thymine which will also be 50

double H bond will be - 50 x 2= 100  

Total H bond will be- 250 H bonds.

Thus, 250 H bonds are the correct answer.

Oksanka [162]

1.)Coral reefs are busy underwater ecosystems. Some people call them the “rainforests of the sea.” The corals look like rocks but actually are animals. They have hard calcium carbonate skeletons like clams. They form a base for lots of other organisms to live. You’ll find crabs, sea stars, worms, clams, sponges, jellies, sea turtles, and lots of fish. Coral reefs are complicated and very fragile. They are easily affected by pollution.

2.) Tropical rainforests are near the equator where it’s almost always warm and wet. These are the key ingredients for making lots of lush plants and trees. Half of the world’s plants and animals live in tropical rainforests. It’s a very busy ecosystem with many kinds of plants, animals, fungi, and microscopic organisms. Many of them live here and nowhere else.

3.) In the world’s many deserts, there is very little rain. The land is very, very dry. Here, living things have creative ways of finding and saving water. Cactuses are very good at storing water. They can live without rain for months. The kangaroo mouse lives in the Nevada desert. It rarely drinks water. It can get its water from the food it eats.

Eutrophication can cause excess algae growth. Which of the following describes how nutrients contribute to eutrophication?
dusya [7]

Eutrophication of water bodies like lake, pond, shallow stretches of river, etc. is the phenomenon where excess growth of vegetation on the surface of the water takes place. This excess growth results in the clouding of the water, depletion of dissolved oxygen in water, and the death of aquatic organisms. The primary reason for the cause of eutrophication is the presence of nutrients in excess amounts in the water. The nutrients B. come from fertilizer and sewage runoff.

This energy comes from moving object, or objects that have stored energy. * sound energy chemical energy electrical mechanical
Schach [20]

Motion energy, or the more common term, mechanical energy is the energy stored in objects.  

The more an object moves faster, the more energy is stored.  Some examples of motion energy include wind, a flowing river, a moving car, or a person running.

Answer:

D.  A mutation causing uncontrolled cell division

Explanation:

Cell division is controlled by various mechanisms. Any mutations in the genes regulating the cell division lead to uncontrolled cell division. Loss of control over the process of cell division leads to the formation of tumors.  

These tumors may cause cancer if they are transformed into malignant tumors. Hence, a mutation that causes loss of control over cell division is harmful.

Hey there according to my research I found this same similar question on here with options:

<span>A) The herbivorous animals would thrive and continue to live on the grassland for many generations. 
B) The herbivorous animals would also migrate to the national park, because ecosystems tend to maintain balance.
 C) The herbivorous animal populations would decline as they are now easy targets for hunters and other predators. 
D) The herbivorous animals would initially thrive, but eventual overgrazing would lead to starvation or migration.

Among those four, the answer is D).
