Answer:

enable capillarity

Explanation:

It is well known that water tends to adhere to the walls of the vessel in which it is contained. This is due to the force of adhesion which is defined as the force of attraction between unlike molecules. Cohesion is defined as the force of attraction between like molecules. In the case of a plant, cohesion of water molecules in the xylem vessels prevents the water column from breaking. The forces of adhesion, surface tension and cohesion are the basis of capillarity,that is, the rise of liquids in capillary tubes.

Trava [24]

Answer:

Nitrogenous bases contain the genetic information, their amount is variable among different species, and the arrangement of these bases is also variable among different species

Explanation:

Both Watson-Crick and Pauling's DNA models considered that DNA nitrogenous bases (i.e., Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine and Guanine) contain the genetic information that determines the characteristics of living organisms. Moreover, both DNA models also considered that nitrogenous base composition varies between species, as well as the arrangement of these bases in the DNA chain also varies between species. Based on these features, Linus Pauling considered that a model where nitrogenous bases would be arranged on the outside of the DNA molecule would be easier for the DNA molecule to be replicated, transcribed, or repaired. Although incorrect, Pauling's DNA triple helix model was fundamental to develop the helical (double-stranded) structure of DNA, which was finally discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.
