Answer:

C) Three hydrogen bonds will form with guanine.

Explanation:

Generally the DNA molecule is made up of Purines  bases of Adenine and Guanine,and Pyrimidine of Cytosine and Guanine.However,RNA contains a different pyrimidine of Uracil.Thus the pairing is A-U  am C-G.The uracil replaces Thymine.

The structure above is a Pyrimidine,because it is made up of single ring structure(an heterocylclic  aromatic  structure) compare to double structure of purines. Heterocyclic means it is ring form.Aromatic means it has resonance bonds which shift with the rings for stability.

It is also contains of two substitutes at position 4 of the ring structure (amineNH2) and at 2 which is the Keto group(=0).Therefore the structure is Cytosine.

In RNA structure the Cytosine pair with the three hydrogen bonds with guanine,while Adenine pair with Uracil.This ensures stability of the RNA structure.

Which process must occur before the gametophyte generation?
Ber [7]
<span>The process must occur before the gametophyte generation is Sporophyte. A sporophyte is the diploid generation of a plant or alga that has a double set of chromosomes. [ All land plants, and some algae, have life cycles in which a multicellular haploid gametophyte generation alternates with a multicellular diploid generation. In the Gymnosperms and flowering plants (Angiosperms), the sporophyte generation is the most prominent phase, comprising the familiar green plant with its roots, stem, leaves and cones or flowers. In the flowering plants, the gametophytes are very reduced in size, and are represented by the pollen and the embryo sac.</span>

Answer:

In cross-pollinating plants that either produce yellow or green pea seeds exclusively, Mendel found that the first offspring generation (f1) always has yellow seeds. ... that a trait may not show up in an individual but can still be passed on to the next generation.

Ruchi is preparing for class tomorrow, so she is reading about how neurons communicate. one of the first key terms she memorizes
Ket [755]

Answer;

-Neurotransmitters.

One of the first key terms she memorizes is neurotransmitters because these are the chemicals via which neurons communicate with each other.

Explanation;

-Neurons communicate with each other via electrical events called 'action potentials' and chemical neurotransmitters. At the junction between two neurons (synapse), an action potential causes neuron A to release a chemical neurotransmitter.

-Neurons are connected to each other through synapses, sites where signals are transmitted in the form of chemical messengers.
