Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

The structure of DNA revealed by Watson and Crick showed that Two strands of DNA are present in the intertwined state forming helix representing DNA as a double helix.

Each strand of DNA is made up of the monomer unit of DNA called nucleotide where each nucleotide binds to another nucleotide through weak covalent bond called phosphodiester bond.

The phosphodiester bond is formed between the 3’-OH group of one nucleotide to 5’ phosphate group of another nucleotide. In this way, the phosphate-sugar molecule forms the backbone of the DNA molecule.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer

Why does evolution have to with change over time?
Naddik [55]
Evolution is the change in an animal over time. Evolution causes this one animal to branch out into many different species of animals.
How evolution starts- There is a mutation in the genes of one animal. If the mutation helps the animal, than the animal breeds and passes on this mutation. This is natural selection. Natural selection is the starting point of evolution because all of the helpful mutations get passed down to change the species over time for the animals' benefit.

Levart [38]
By controlling what enters and leaves a cell, the cell membrane A) aids in maintaining homeostasis within the cell. Homeostasis is the process by which organisms maintain life through eating, growing, and living in variable conditions. It would not make sense to answer B) because organisms do not control the homeostasis of their external environment. D) also would not be correct because cell's do not control osmosis in the external environment. The membrane does not control osmosis because osmosis is generally a random process of molecular diffusion whereas the membrane acts in a conscious and controlled way.
