Answer:

d. nitrogen-containing base .

Explanation:

A nucleotide comprises a phosphate group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base (nitrogen-containing base).

A nitrogenous base is a type of aromatic heterocyclic organic compound which essentially has nitrogen in it. The base can be a purine or pyrimidine. Purine nitrogenous bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G) while pyrimidine nitrogenous bases are cytosine (C), thiamine (T) and uracil (U).

Till the time a base is not attached to covalently linked phosphate group and a pentose sugar, it is known as nucleoside. But as soon as we attach any nitrogenous base to the nucleoside, a nucleotide is formed. So it means a nucleotide is nucleoside + nitrogenous base.

Examples are as under:

A nucleotide which has adenine as nitrogenous base is known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while a nucleotide which has guanine as nitrogenous base is known as Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP).

William and Quentin are fraternal twins. This means they share, on average, what % of genes with one another?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is 50%

Explanation:

Fraternal twins are the twins which are produced from the fertilization of two different eggs by two different sperms. These eggs are released at the same time.

So as fraternal twins are produced from fertilization of two different eggs therefore they share 50% of genes with each other just like other siblings. They are also called dizygotic twins

Identical twins are produce from a sigle fertilized cell which later divides into two cell mass. Indentical twins share 100% gene. Therefore the correct answer is 50%.

What is NOT true about the evidence that fossils provide?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

C. All fossils contain intact DNA that can be sequenced.

Explanation:

Fossils are the impression, trace or preserved remains of once-living thing from past thousands of years such as bones, exoskeletons, objects preserved in amber, and stone imprints of animals or microbes.

Fossils provide evidence about seevral characteristics and features of extinct organism such as evolutionary relationship between organisms and  transitional forms between groups of organisms. but all the fossil do not provide evidence about the intact DNA that can be sequenced because some fossils carry DNA rumnants which do not have the ability to get sequenced.

Hence, the correct option is C.
