What holds the two strands of DNA molecules to each other. Hydrogen Bonds

7 0

Answer:

The correct answer would be a hydrogen bond.

The two strands of the DNA are held together with the help of hydrogen bonds formed between the nitrogenous bases or base pairs.

The adenine (A) base pairs or makes a hydrogen bond with thymine (T) and guanine (G) base pairs or makes a hydrogen bond with cytosine (C).

2 hydrogen bonds are present between the A and T whereas 3 hydrogen bonds are present between G and C.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The amitochondriate eukaryotes may have genes that have been derived from purple alphaloproteobacteria because they do not have the mitochondria which is needed to optimize energy production in the presence of oxygen, can live and exist in a condition with little to no oxygen which is a characteristic of proteobacteria and hence are anaerobes obtaining energy by anaerobic respiration. They may have also undergone the endosymbiont theory but due to their environment which has little to no oxygen. They do not have a need for the mitochondria organelle and in the process lose this organelle.
