Answer:

both the hydrophobic effect and van der Waals interactions.

Explanation:

Hydrophobic interactions refer to the interaction of non-polar groups with each other in the watery medium. Van der Waals interactions are the weak intermolecular forces formed when one molecule induces polarization in the other.

A DNA double helix has the base pair stacked on the top of one another. The adjacent base pairs are separated from each other by a distance of 3.4 angstroms. The atoms of each base pair for van der Waals interactions with each other since they are separated from each other by van der Waal contact distance.

Also, the hydrophobic surfaces of the bases make hydrophobic interactions with each other to stay away from the water. Therefore, Van der Waal interactions and hydrophobic effects both contribute to base stacking.

What would be the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope that has an objective power of 10x and an
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. They almost always consist of 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x powers. When coupled with a 10x (most common) eyepiece lens, we get total magnification of 40x (4x times 10x), 100x, 400x, and 1000x. To have good resolution at 1000x, you will need a relatively sophisticated microscope with an Abbe condenser. The shortest lens is the lowest power, the longest one is the lens with the greatest power. Lenses are color coded and if built to DIN standards are interchangeable between microscopes. The high power objective lenses are retractable (ie 40xr). This means that if they hit a slide, the end of the lens will push in (spring loaded) thereby protecting the lens and the slide. All quality microscopes have achromatic, parcentered, parfocal lenses.

zzz [600]

Answer:

D. 1/64

Explanation:

The desired genotype for the progeny = aabbcc (homozygous recessive for all the three loci). The probability of getting a progeny with a homozygous recessive genotype can be calculated during the product rule.  

The parent genotypes= AaBbCc x AaBbCc

Aa x Aa = 1/4 AA: 1/2 Aa: 1/4 aa

Bb x Bb = 1/4 BB: 1/2 Bb: 1/4 bb

Cc x Cc = 1/4 CC: 1/2 Cc: 1/4 cc

Therefore, the probability of getting a progeny which is homozygous recessive for all the three traits (aabbcc)= 1/4 aa x 1/4 bb x 1/4 cc = 1/64
