Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Base analog

Explanation:

5-bromodeoxyuridine is a synthetic nucleoside which is formed by deaminating the 5-Bromodeoxycytidine.  

The BrdU once incorporated in the DNA of replicating cell during S phase binds the adenine which shows that it replaces the thymidine which usually binds the adenine.

Since BrdU binds the adenine, therefore, it acts as the analogue of the thymidine and also can cause mutations thus acts as a mutagen.  

Therefore, it acts as a base analog and thus is the correct answer.

What happens to kinetic energy of molecules with increased temperature
erik [133]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of molecules increase with the increase in temperature.

Explanation:

when the temperature rises the individual molecules collide with each other, hence raising the kinetic energy.

considering the gas molecules:

K.E= 3/2 nRT

where R represents the universal gas constant

n represents the total number of moles

T represents the temperature

this equation clearly states that kinetic energy is directly related with the increase in temperature.
