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.

An elephant had a long, powerful trunk. According to the ideas of Lamarck, how did the trait of long, powerful trunks develop de
AlekseyPX

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Lamark believed in the inheritance of acquired characteristics. That is, that if an individual's body or organs changed in some way during the course of their life time (due to the environment or some other pressure), that these characteristics could be passed on to the next generation.

This was his theory of evolution. Therefore, if, slowly elephants started using their trunks to an advantage more, they would start to develop and grow. Lamark believed these acquired traits would be passed on to the next generation. We now know this not to be true, and random, selectively advantageous mutations in DNA are what cause evolution over time.

What causes inherited variation?
mylen [45]

Answer: Variation in a characteristic that is a result of genetic information from the parents is called inherited variation . ... This is because they get half of their DNA and inherited features from each parent. Each egg cell and each sperm cell contains half of the genetic information needed for an individual.

Explanation:

Genetic information from the parents is the result of variation.
