<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.

Which type of information is pseudoscience based on?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Unsupported claims

Explanation:

Pseudoscience is kind of a <em>fake </em>science. it uses scientifical terms to trick people into thinking it actually <em>is </em>science. It uses words like "quantum" in a sentence such as "Buy this quantum phone charger for your phone to charge 2x the normal speed!" Since it has the "quantum" in it, some people do actually think it's scientific, and fall for that ad.

So, the answer is unsupported claims because those claims such as "Drinking milk and eating mango at the same time lead you to death" are fake beliefs that don't have any scientifical evidence.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

<em>The one of the worst infectious disease outbreaks in history was cholera.</em>

Explanation:

<em>The USA  had three serious epidemies of cholera, which is  an intestinal infection. It happened between 1832 and 1866, the pandemic began in India, and swiftly spread across the globe through trade routes. New York City was usually the first city to be infected. They estimated that two to six americans died per day during the outbreak. The end of cholera's outbreak is unclear, but researchers believe that it was related to quarantines or climate changes. The last cholera outbreak in USA was in 1911, the scientists found out that the effective treatment included  antibiotics, zinc supplementation and rehydration.</em>

<em>Nowadays, 130.000 people dies every year all over the globe because of the disease. It has not been erradicated yet, but with modern sewage and water treatment, some countries are cholera free now. Unfortunately, some african countries and other underdeveloped countries still have the virus present there.</em>

<em>So the CDC recommends vaccines for those who intend to travel to high risk areas, and to wash hands regularly with soap and water, and only drinking mineral bottled water.</em>
