Answer:

I, II and III

Explanation:

The melting temperature of a DNA double helix is affected by several factors that affect the hydrogen bonds and /or the other interactions involved in maintaining the helical structure. Two DNA strands of a helix are held together by the hydrogen bonds between the complementary nitrogenous bases. The pH of the solution would affect the hydrogen bonds. If the pH is too acidic, the hydrogen bonds acceptor atoms will accept protons from the solution and would not be able to make hydrogen bonds.  

The ionic strength of the solution represents the ions present in it. If the solution has positively charged ions, the negative charges of phosphate residues of the DNA backbone will be neutralized. This would make the double helix more stable. Similarly, a longer DNA strand would have a higher melting temperature as more heat will be required to break more hydrogen bonds as compared to a shorter DNA strand.

Why does your arm feel numb if you put too much pressure on it?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

If your cartilage, muscles, or tendons put too much pressure on a nerve, it might not be able to work right. This can cause numbness. An injury or overuse can cause a pinched nerve. Sometimes it's due to health problems like arthritis, a narrowing of the spaces between the bones in your spine, or a tumor on the spine.

hope this answer helps you.....

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The population of predators will decrease as well because without their prey they won't have anything to feast on for nutrition. So they will decrease without prey.

Apply the principles of diffusion to explain what will occur after placing a dyed sugar cube in a beaker of water
snow_lady [41]

The molecules in the sugar move from an area of higher concentration (sugar cube) to an area of lower concentration in the water.

That is exactly what diffusion is: the net movement of molecules or atoms driven by a gradient , which means that it doesn’t requires energy.
