Answer:

Basic structure Nucleic acids are polynucleotides—that is, long chainlike molecules composed of a series of nearly identical building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogen-containing aromatic base attached to a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, which is in turn attached to a phosphate group.

The basic repeating unit of nucleic acids are known as nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of three distinct chemical groups, a 5-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a nitrogen-rich base - (cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) instead of T (in RNA), and phosphate.

How can mutations lead to human evolution?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

How Mutations Can Lead to Human Evolution?

Explanation:

A mutation is the random change in the nucleotide sequence or in the DNA organization (genotype) of a living being, [1] that produces a variation in its characteristics and that is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. It occurs spontaneously and suddenly or due to the action of mutagens. This change will be present in a small proportion of the population (variant) or the organism (mutation). The genetic unit capable of mutating is the gene, the unit of hereditary information that is part of DNA.

In multicellular beings, mutations can only be inherited when they affect reproductive cells. A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease. However, although they may seem harmful in the short term, mutations are essential to our long-term existence. Without mutation there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.

How do stories differ from scientific explanation?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Scientific explanation has data or statistics that have been tested and experimented to determine outcomes. Stories are subjective information that has no evidence to back up if it’s true or not.

Describe ways in which a healthy artery differs from an artery affected by coronary heart disease
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A healthy artery is wider and has no blockages. The lumen (which is the hole in the centre of the artery), is open and clear. This means there is more blood flow. An artery of a person suffering from coronary heart disease is often blocked, usually by a fatty deposit. This means the blood does not flow as well. (See diagram, in which I would draw two arteries, one with a blockage of fatty deposit, one clear and healthy).
