The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  1. there are more base pairs synthesized
  2. the DNA becomes supercoiled
  3. the double strands of DNA are separating
  4. DNA gyrase relaxes supercoiling of the DNA

Answer:

3. the double strands of DNA are separating

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light is absorbed by the DNA molecule therefore the UV light is used to find the DNA concentration of a sample.

The ultraviolet light is absorbed by the nitrogenous bases present between the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule. The part of the base which absorbs the UV light is the presence of the heterocyclic rings.

Since these heterocyclic rings are involved in the hydrogen bond therefore when DNA exists in its double-stranded form, it absorbs less UV light.

When the DNA sample is heated then the DNA gets denatured and DNA becomes single-stranded. The heterocyclic rings absorb the UV light more easily thus increasing the absorbance.

Thus, Option-3 is correct.

Hello. this is very simple. i know it and im in middle school. dont highschoolers know that you can just ask google and get a verified answer in just a few seconds?

sighs, well i guess older kids dont get technology as much as we do.

no offense, but seriously if you pay more attention in class you might not be asking this silly question right now.

1) B
    (I'm not so sure of this one) All of the other options have a steady impact on population regardless of the density of organisms except competition

2) D
    Increased carbon dioxide levels would not hinder plant growth, and tsunamis aren't really linked to carbon dioxide levels. Increased carbon dioxide is unlikely to lower the air temperature so only D is left.

3) A

4) Three properties of water that allow it to sustain life are that it is adhesive, it is a good solvent, and cohesion. Adhesion is important in situations such as water travelling up xylem tubes in plants so that the water is not pulled down by gravity and can reach parts of the plant that need water. Cohesion allows the water being pulled up the xylem to stay together and for water molecules to be pulled when a neighbouring one is moved. Water being a good solvent allows inorganic minerals to be taken with water through vascular tissue, such as in the previous example.
