Answer:

The correct answer is nitrogenous bases.

Explanation:

Nucleic acid like DNA and RNA acts as the genetic material of the organism.  The nucleic acid is formed of the monomer units called nucleotide where each nucleotide unit is made up of three molecules: a 5-C sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, nitrogenous bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil (in case of RNA).

It is the arrangement of these nitrogenous bases in the strand of DNA which makes it a genetic material as the ribosome during translation reads these nitrogenous bases from the sequence of mRNA in pair of three bases called "triplet codons". Each codon code for the specific amino acids which make up the protein molecule.  

Thus, nitrogenous base is the correct answer.

How does gel electrophoresis sort strands of DNA?l
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Gel Electrophoresis is a way to sort and measure the DNA strands. Scientists use the technique whenever they need to sort DNA strands according to lengths, this is because it helps them determine patterns, banding patterns create a unique fingerprint for a certain individual. During the process, the shorter strands move faster because they have less mass compared to the longer strand. Therefore, the short strands end up farther away from the starting point than the longer strands, which is how the difference in lengths sort themselves out.

There occur various processes such as precipitation, evaporation, weathering and erosion, deposition, and the processes that are associated with the various cycles such as geochemical cycle, nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, phosphorous cycle and so on.

These processes occur in all the regions on earth and at different rates, and they are comprised of energy that is constantly in the flow from one region to another. These environmental changes and the forces that are involved in it are dynamic in nature.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
