Hydrogen bonds

Guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine <em>hydrogen bonds</em> hold the strands of a DNA helix together.

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are the intermolecular forces responsible for base pairing and double helix stability in DNA.

The hydrogen bonds that bind the two strands of DNA are “weak” covalent bonds, meaning they easily denature, which means that they separate and reconnect very easily.

Regarding the nitrogenous bases of DNA, Adenine is paired with Thymine, forming the A-T base pair, and there is double hydrogen bonding between these bases. In the same way that guanine binds to cytosine and forms the base pair G-C by triple hydrogen bonding. And the two chains link through weak hydrogen bridges between the nitrogenous bases of nucleotides, responsible for maintaining the double helix structure of DNA.

Which scientist arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number, rather than increasing atomic mass?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Henry Moseley

Explanation:

Dmitry Mendeleef and Lothar Meyer proposed a periodic table based on the atomic mass.

They stated a periodic law expressed as "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".

But, Henry Moseley in 1900s re-stated periodic law by changing the basis of the law from atomic weight to atomic number.

The present periodic law is stated as "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".

Describe two ways nitrogen gas is changed into forms that living things<br> can use
Misha Larkins [42]

There are three ways nitrogen can be fixed to be useful for living things: Biologically: Nitrogen gas (N2) diffuses into the soil from the atmosphere, and species of bacteria convert this nitrogen to ammonium ions (NH4+), which can be used by plants.

Hope this helps!
