Answer and Explanation:

a) Although the DNA is made up of only four possible building blocks, these blocks are combined from a 3 (form triplets of nitrogenous bases) giving rise to a large variety of nucleotide sequences that carry a large amount of genetic information.

b) DNA is a polymer formed  by nucleotides, which we could consider as the building blocks.

Each of these nucleotides is, at the same time, formed by a carbohydrate, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group (derived from phosphoric acid). The nitrogen base may be adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) or guanine (G).

The nitrogenous bases are located in a complementary manner between the two strands of DNA, with thymine-adenine being joined by a double bridge of hydrogen and cytosine-guanine by three hydrogen bonds.

Example of questions A and B: AAA, AAT, AAC, AAG, ATT, ACC, AGG, ATA, ACA, AGA, etc.

c) In RNA the carbohydrate that is present is ribonucleic acid while in DNA it is deoxyribonucleic acid.

In addition, in the RNA, the thymine nitrogenous base is replaced by the Uracil.

Explain how dark matter affects models of the fate of the universe
grigory [225]

Answer: Dark energy and dark matter describe proposed solutions to as yet unresolved gravitational phenomena. So far as we know, the two are distinct. Dark matter originates from our efforts to explain the observed mismatch between the gravitational mass and the luminous mass of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
