<span>NA contains only elements, so it does not react easily. Many organisms do not contain DNA. Certain mutations in DNA happen at a constant rate. DNA does not change over time, making it a valuable clue.</span>

(03.05 hc) the base pairs in a dna strand are held together with hydrogen bonds. if the two nitrogenous bases in each pair were
asambeis [7]

The cell would have to take in and use more energy in order to break the covalent bonds.

The correct option is B

Hydrogen bonds :

are the chemical mechanism that governs the complementarity of the bases of DNA. This correspondence is unique thanks to the geometry of the hydrogen donor atoms and the acceptors that form the bases.

The (hydrophobic) bases are stacked inside the double helix of DNA; their plane is perpendicular to the axis of the double helix. The outside (phosphate and sugar) is hydrophilic.

The hydrogen bonds between the bases of one strand and the bases of the other strand keep the 2 strands united.

One purine on one strand necessarily binds to a pyrimidine on the other strand. As a corollary, the number of purine residues is equal to the number of pyrimidine residues.

* A binds to T (by 2 hydrogen bonds).

* G binds to C (via 3 hydrogen bonds: more stable bond: 5.5 kcal vs 3.5 kcal).

What part of the DNA strand do hydrogen bonds hold together?

hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.

A large forested area is fragmented into small forest tracts separated by agricultural areas. This change will most likely lead
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Can lead to a drastic change, resulting in a decrease in the gene flow among the species of the original forest before fragmentation.

Explanation:

A forest that is divided into small pieces or areas for agricultural purposes will definitely drive away the organisms originally residing in the forest, thereby reducing the rate of mating, and subsequently decreasing the gene flow.

Agricultural areas are areas of land which are devoted to agriculture. That is, for cultivation of crops and rearing of livestock, most especially for commercial purposes.

Perimenopause describes the time period before menopause, the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It often starts a few years b
Grace [21]
Irregular periods. 
Hot flashes and sleep problems. Hot flashes are common during perimenopause. The intensity, length and frequency vary. Sleep problems are often due to hot flashes or night sweats, but sometimes sleep becomes unpredictable even without them
.Mood changes. Mood swings, irritability or increased risk of depression may happen during perimenopause. The cause of these symptoms may be sleep disruption associated with hot flashes. Mood changes may also be caused by factors not related to the hormonal changes of perimenopause.
Vaginal and bladder problems. When estrogen levels diminish, vaginal tissues may lose lubrication and elasticity, making intercourse painful. Low estrogen may also make vagina vulnerable to urinary or vaginal infections. Loss of tissue tone may contribute to urinary incontinence.
Decreasing fertility. As ovulation becomes irregular, the ability to conceive decreases.
Changes in sexual function. During perimenopause, sexual arousal and desire may change.
Loss of bone.
changes in cholesterol level
