Alona [7]3 years ago

The term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and contains genetic information in its double-stranded helical structure.

Explanation:

A nucleotide can be said to be the basic building block of the DNA molecule. Each of these nucleotides is composed of three components:

  1. A phosphate group
  2. A sugar group
  3. A nitrogen base

The genetic code contained within the DNA is determined by the sequence/order in which these bases occur.

The DNA backbone is made up of the sugar-phosphate nucleic acids framework. These groups occur in an alternating manner, in repeating patterns.

The structure of DNA is fairly regular, as in the following parameters are constant - orientation, length of the strand, width and number of nucleotides. These double-stranded molecules are asymmetrical, with the two disjoint strands intertwined with each other, connected by means of hydrogen bonds.

Misha Larkins [42]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

A. a lack of urban health care capacity

B. cultural disregard for women and women's health

C. prudence's family medical history

D. a lack of previous medical problems

Answer:

C. prudence's family medical history

Explanation:

Sociological factors include the factors related to human society. These factors stem from the way a society functions and effects the people which are a part of it. The way the society is structured and developed, impacts the people.

Prudence died during childbirth. There can be many sociological causes of her death like low status of women or poor medical facilities in her society. However, her family medical history will not be considered a sociological factor. Family medical history also depends on other factors like genetic composition of the family which is not a sociological factor.
