Answer:
Nitrogenous bases contain the genetic information, their amount is variable among different species, and the arrangement of these bases is also variable among different species
Explanation:
Both Watson-Crick and Pauling's DNA models considered that DNA nitrogenous bases (i.e., Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine and Guanine) contain the genetic information that determines the characteristics of living organisms. Moreover, both DNA models also considered that nitrogenous base composition varies between species, as well as the arrangement of these bases in the DNA chain also varies between species. Based on these features, Linus Pauling considered that a model where nitrogenous bases would be arranged on the outside of the DNA molecule would be easier for the DNA molecule to be replicated, transcribed, or repaired. Although incorrect, Pauling's DNA triple helix model was fundamental to develop the helical (double-stranded) structure of DNA, which was finally discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.
Answer:
An anabolic reaction can be described as a reaction in which reactants join to form products. In the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water molecules join to build up glucose molecules hence, it is an anabolic reaction.
The catabolic reaction can be described as a reaction in which large molecules are broken down into smaller substances. In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Hence, cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction.
The equations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are exactly opposite to one another. Hence, holding a connection. The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration and vice versa.
