<span>the race to determine how these pieces fit together in a three-dimensional structure was won by James Watson and Francis Crick at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. They showed that alternating deoxyribose and phosphate molecules form the twisted uprights of the DNA ladder. The rungs of the ladder are formed by complementary pairs of nitrogen bases — A always paired with T and G always paired with C so they form a ladder like shape</span>

A DNA molecule is like a ladder because there are two sides (the sugar-phosphate backbones of the two strands) and rungs (each rung being a pair of complementary bases). Twisted, because the molecule is twined in a coil called a helix - or rather, a double helix because there are two strands.

What molecule in the equation is a hydrcarbon?
Gwar [14]
Alkanes are linear, or branching, compounds that are made of varying numbers of carbon atoms that are all saturated with hydrogen atoms. The formula for an alkane is CnH(2n+2). This means that the number of hydrogen atoms equals twice the number of carbon atoms, plus two. Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon possible.

hoa [83]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

I think its C . A transcriptional repressor usually represses the transcription pathway when its active. According to the question, the repressor is not usually active until an effector molecule binds to it making it active and blocking the transcription pathway. So if the region where the effector binds on the repressor is mutated i.e. it turns nonfunctional that means the effector cannot bind to repressor which means repressor cannot become active to block transcription which in turn increases the transcription of gene A because repressor cannot repress it since it is inactive due to its inability to bind to the effector.
