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.

What was a major problem for anthropologists when they were just studying objects in museum collections?
tia_tia [17]

A major problem for anthropologists when they were just studying objects in museum collections was that the objects were viewed as isolated from their cultural context.

<h3>What is Anthropology?</h3>

Anthropology is the scientific study of humans and includes the study of historical and contemporary human species as well as human behavior, biology, cultures, civilizations, and linguistics. While cultural anthropology examines cultural meaning, including norms and values, social anthropology explores patterns of behavior.

Today, the phrase sociocultural anthropology is frequently employed as a portmanteau. Language's impact on social life is the subject of linguistic anthropology. The biological evolution of people is studied in biological or physical anthropology.

Archaeological anthropology, sometimes known as "anthropology of the past," examines physical evidence to study human behavior. In North America and Asia, it is regarded as a subfield of anthropology, but in Europe it is viewed as a field unto itself or categorized under other related fields like paleontology and history.
