Answer: Nitrogenous bases guanine(G), adenine(A), cytosine(C) and thymine(T) forms the rungs of the ladder in twisted ladder structure of DNA.

Explanation:

Rungs of the ladder are normally horizontal small logs placed one after the other with small gaps between them on the two vertically standing logs of the ladder.

Since, DNA resembles the twisted ladder structure the rungs of the ladder structure of DNA are the organic nitrogenous basic molecules which are associated to their respective base with the help of hydrogen bonding.

In DNA, there are four bases guanine(G), adenine(A), cytosine(C) and thymine(T). These bases through hydrogen bonding are associated with there respective bases :adenine is bonded to thymine and guanine is bonded cytosine.

(A=T): Two hydrogen bonds between the bases

(C≡G): Three hydrogen bonds between the bases.

You want to sweeten a cup of tea, and you have three types of sugar: sugar cubes (volume: 5ml), granulated sugar (volume: 0.1 ml
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

powdered sugar

Explanation:

The higher is the exposed area of sugar, the faster is the dissolution process. Thus, to choose between the different types of sugar, we have to look at the volume occupied by the sugar.

In sugar cubes, the particles of sugar as compacted in a cube, so the particles inside the cube are not exposed to the solvent (water). So, sugar cubes have the slowest dissolution process. Then, in granulated sugar, the particles have more area exposed, so this type of sugar will dissolve faster than sugar cubes. Finally, powdered sugar is composed of tiny particles with more are exposed, so powdered sugar has the fastest dissolution process.

Therefore, powdered sugar will dissolve the fastest.
