Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids.There are twenty different amino acids which are joined together in different pattern to form proteins. Further the folding of polypeptide chain give rise to different shapes and structure of proteins. 
Nucleic acids are made up of one kind of monomers call nucleotides. These nucleotides are attached with each other in the form of double strand (DNA) or in single strand form (RNA).

Chargaff's analysis of the relative base composition of DNA was significant because he was able to show that
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

C) The amount of A is always equivalent to T, and C to G

Explanation:

Chargaff's rule was given by the Austrian chemist, Erwin Chargaff in late 1940s. It explains the composition of the four bases i.e. Adenine(A),  Guanine(G), Thymine(T) and Cytosine(C) in a DNA molecule. According to it, purine and pyrimidine bases are always found in 1:1 ratio in a DNA molecule. A and G are purine and T and C are pyrimidine bases and a purine always forms a pair with pyrimidine base hence the amount of A will always be equal to T and amount of G will always be equal to C. This rule forms the basis for the Watson and Crick pairs in DNA double helix model.

PLEASE HELP! Which is a correct interpretation of this cladogram?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

C.  Lizards were the first organisms on Earth to have limbs.

Explanation:

This cladogram illustrates when and in what species novel anatomical traits occurred. All the organisms that follow after a certain point will have this trait present. Thus, earthworms are the first species to evolve segmented bodies which will be present in all the following organisms such as salmons. Here, segmentation is found in the vertebrae of the backbone as well as in the muscles and nerves that spread from the spinal cord, at a finer level.

This cladogram does not illustrate the evolutionary time relationship between different species. Thus, it cannot be inferred that the kangaroos evolved after earthworms.
