Answer:

Structure of DNA provides basic information about its packing, replication and copying of the stored genetic information. It tells how the parent DNA strands are copied during the process of cell division.

Explanation:

The double-helical structure of DNA is the basis for its ability to store the genetic information, to replicate itself and to transmit the genetic information. DNA is a polymer of four nucleotides. It stores the genetic information in the sequence of these four nucleotides. The complementary base pairing between the DNA bases tells how DNA template strands are copied during the process of replication.

The newly formed DNA strands have complementary nucleotide sequence to the template DNA strands. Similarly, during the transmission of genetic information, the nucleotide sequence of the DNA is copied into the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA. Therefore, knowledge about the structure of DNA is required to understand its functions.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Sympathetic

Explanation:

Preganglionic motor neurons are a part of the autonomic nervous system - a part of the nervous system that acts mostly involuntarily and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, breathing, digestion, etc.

A preganglionic motor neuron is a type of motor neuron, the cell body of which is located in the brain or spinal cord, while its axon leaves the central nervous system as part of a cranial or spinal nerve before separating and entering the autonomic ganglion.

The preganglionic neurons that originate in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord are the sympathetic preganglionic neurons.

When cool, dense air from over the water flows inland, it's called a ____.
uysha [10]
The answer is a sea breeze.

The sea breeze is a gentle wind that forms during the day because inland heats faster during the day than a nearby water. This heating creates differences in air pressure which is higher over the water. So, this wind blows from the higher pressure over the water to the lower pressure over the inland.
