Biology
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A) The two strands of a DNA molecule are parallel and complementary.

Explanation:

DNA is a polymer of nucleotide and this nucleotide are made up of a deoxyribose sugar molecule, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. In DNA genetic information of the cell is stored in the form of nitrogenous bases.

DNA is double-stranded and both the strands run anti-parallel with each other.  This anti-parallel orientation provides the nitrogenous base of one strand to form hydrogen bonds with the nitrogenous base present on the opposite strand.

In DNA adenine base pairs with thymine with two hydrogen bonds and guanine base pairs with cytosine with three hydrogen bonds. So the false statement is A.

How are convection current in the mantle and in the oceans similar? How are they different?
Vanyuwa [196]

Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.
