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.

If the outside temperature decreases by 20 degrees Celsius, what will happen to a reptile’s body temperature?
oksian1 [2.3K]

The reptile's body temperature rises when the external temperature rises. When the temperature drops, so does his body temperature. If a reptile feels cold because the external temperatures have made his blood cold, he'll lie in the sun to warm up. However, if the external temperature is too high, he scurries under a rock, dives in a pool or finds some kind of shade where he can cool down. Reptiles and other animals with ectothermic systems are vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature because they can't control their temperatures internally. They can control their body temperatures only by moving to an environment with a suitable ambient temperature.
