<span>Two of the nitrogenous bases present in DNA (Guanine and Adenine) contain two rings and thus are much larger than the other two (Cytosine and Thymine), which have only one. Nitrogenous bases with two rings (such as G and A) are known as PURINES, whereas nitrogenous bases with a single ring (such as C and T) are known as PYRIMIDINES. A stable DNA structure is formed ONLY when the two strands are a constant distance apart which ONLY happens when a PURINE (G or A) on one strand is paired with a PYRIMIDINE (C or T) on the other strand. The strands would have to move much further apart to permit a purine to pair with another purine and would have to move much closer together to permit a pyrimidine to pair with a pyrimidine.

Winds in our atmosphere are created as a result of which of the following processes?
shusha [124]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) Uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere</em>

Explanation:

Wind can simply be described as air which is moving or which is in motion. The uneven heating of the Earth's surface caused by the sun is the reason why winds occur. The difference in pressure of one area to another area causes the air to move and cause wind. The air tends to move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure and such is the movement of the wind.
