xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is the genetic material of the organism which is made up of nucleotide monomer. The structure of DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides coiled in a helical structure thus providing a double-helical shape to the structure.  

Each nucleotide of a strand is composed of a five-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases. These molecules are arranged in anti-parallel fashion in DNA which provides the polarity to the DNA strand. One strand is read from the 5' to 3' direction whereas another form 3'to 5' direction.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Atoms of isotopes of the same element contain the same number of
lana [24]

Atoms are the smallest unit of matter. Atoms of isotopes of the same element contain the same number of protons.

<h3>What are isotopes?</h3>

Isotopes are atoms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons but the number of protons and electrons remains same.

As the isotopes of the atom have the same number of protons, so, their atomic number will also be the same.

Thus, it can be concluded that atoms of isotopes of the same element contain the same number of protons.

Which of the following is an example of an eukaryotic organism?
solong [7]

Just about every living organism on Earth can be placed in one of two classes: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A prokaryote is a cell without a nucleus and eukaryotes are cells that contain nuclei. There's one quick test to distinguish prokaryotes from eukaryotes: if you can see a single organism, it's a eukaryote.

How can the two chromosomes that make up a homologous pair differ
Lelechka [254]
Hi!

Two chromosomes that make up a homologous pair can differ. The reason why they would differ is because they contain different alleles for the same trait. 

When these chromosomes are homologous, this just means that they have the same genes in the exact order. But, the actual sequences at some of the geni loci are a little different. They are different because they are alleles. 

Hope I could help!
