DNA model given by Watson and Creek in the year of 1953 gave a very detailed study regarding the structure of B DNA which is valid till date and is essentially corroborating with Chargaff's data and Xray diffraction pattern.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The DNA is the most common nucleic acid found in the living organisms as a genetic material. As stated by Watson and Creek, this DNA contains a double helical structure with two sugar phosphate backbones and the nitrogen bases getting projected from it inwards. The backbones are formed of ribose sugar and phosphate and joined together with a phosphodiester bond. The ribose sugar is attached to phosphates at its 3' and 5' Carbon atoms. The nitrogen bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine. The Adenine has two hydrogen bonds with thymine and guanine has 3 hydrogen bonds with cytosine.

Each full turn of a helix is 34A and each base pair is 3.4A apart. The distance between two strands of DNA is 20A.

Chargaff's rule regarding the equal amount of adenine and thymine as well as guanine and cytosine is matching with this structure. All the other rules also do match with this DNA structure.

The diagram below represents levels of organization in living things. Which term would best represent X?
Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is C. Tissue

Explanation:

In the diagram, x is between organ and cell level. This implies this level of organization is smaller than an organ but no as small as one cell. In this context, the most suitable term to add to this level is a tissue because these are structures composed of specialized cells, which shows this level encloses cells. Also, a group of tissues forms an organ; this implies the organ is the level that follows the tissue. Examples of this include muscle tissue composed of muscle cells and that is part of organs including the heart.
