<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.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: B. sensory neurons of the PNS → CNS → motor neurons of the PNS.

Explanation:

The nervous system is the one in charge of receiving information, processing it, and generating the proper response to the stimulus.

The common pathway of nerve impulses would be: the receptors receive a stimulus, this information is taken to the CNS (Central Nervous System) thanks to the sensory neurons of the PNS (Peripheral Nervous System). In the CNS, the information is processed, and the response is transmitted through the motor neurons of the PNS, so it can reach the organs or muscles that can perform the wanted response.
