Answer:

Thymine

Explanation:

Deoxyribonuceic acid (DNA), is the stored form of genetic material in an organism's cell. It is one of the two types of nucleic acid, made up of nucleotide sequences. A nucleotide is a combination of a five-carbon sugar (Deoxyribose in DNA), phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits (Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine). Each of these chains is known as DNA strand. The nitrogenous bases in DNA align with each other in a manner called base pairing.

Complementary base pairing is the phenomenon whereby in DNA, Adenine (A) always hydrogen bonds to Thymine (T), while Guanine (G) bonds to Cytosine (C) i.e. A-T, G-C . In complementary base pairing, a purine (Adenine and Guanine) always binds to a pyrimidine (Cytosine and Thymine). This pairing is responsible for the double-helical structure of the DNA.

Which of the following statements about eutrophication is TRUE?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

C. It is driven by natural processes like rock weathering and nitrogen fixation.

Explanation:

It has been discovered that eutrophication occurs through a gradual increase in the deposition of phosphorus and nitrogen and other plants nutrients in the water bodies.

This will allow the maximum growth of algae on the surface of the water.

It has been discovered that eutrophication is not good for the water bodies. This is because, the excess growth of algae on the surface of the water will prevent the sunlight from penetrating the water, thereby preventing the plants inside the water from making use of the sunlight to carryout photosynthesis. Also, it will prevent oxygen from entering, thereby depriving the organisms in the water from having the necessary oxygen needed for respiration.
