The first description of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)chain was done by Watson and Crick in 1953, the nucleotides that constitute the DNA are four: cytosine (C), guanine (G), timine (T) and adenine (A). When doing a model is essential to remember that cytosine ONLY joins guanine and timine only link adenine, this is due to the size and chemical properties of each molecule. Later, another related and similar and molecule was discovered, the ribonucleic acid or RNA, which also is constructed by nucleotides.

In both cases, the nucleotides are compound of 3 main components: a nitrogen base, a pentose and a phosphate. When the molecule lacks the phosphate group, is called nucleoside. Depending on the chain ( DNA or RNA) the nitrogen base derives from purine (adenine and guanine) or pyrimidine (cytosine or timine) just in the RNA instead of timine is uracil (U)

The union is established between adjacent molecules through the phosphate, while among each other through the nitrogen base-remember C=G and T or U=A. The core of each molecule is the pentose. Therefore the best representation of the molecule is attached

It would be the Markov models of DNA sequence. Markov model is the most consistent with the actual chemical structure of nucleotides where it also becomes the most-used model.  

EXPLANATION:  

Here is the matrix of nucleotides structure model by Markov:

 

Beside Markov, there are other models of chemical structure of nucleotides proposed by other scientists.

1. JC69 model (Jukes and Cantor 1969)

2. K80 model (Kimura 1980)

3. F81 model (Felsenstein 1981)

4. HKY85 model (Hasegawa, Kishino and Yano 1985)

5. T92 model (Tamura 1992)

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer: D. Lack of basic infrastructure

A developing economy is one that has not reached the level of human development enjoyed by other countries. It is an ambiguous term, that cannot be fully defined.

An emerging economy is one that still displays the characteristics of a developing country, but nevertheless shares characteristics of a developed country.

The fact that Cambodia lacks basic infrastructure places it in the developing market category, as opposed to the emerging one.

Answer:

Piaget; conservation                        

Explanation:

Conservation: In psychology, the term "conservation" is described as a person's "logical thinking" capability that allows him or her to demonstrate that a specific quantity would remain same or similar irrespective of the adjustment related to the size, container, or shape.

The concept of conservation was first introduced by a psychologist named Jean Piaget in his theory of cognitive development.

In the question above, the given statement signifies Piaget's concept of conservation.

1. How did people communicate in ancient and mediaeval time explain with examples ?
leva [86]

The question is extremely vague. “Ancient” covers a large period of time that had varied technologies. “Communication” is also a very vague term. That being said, I will attempt to give an answer.

I am assuming that you are asking about human communication. One of the things that distinguishes humans from animals is speech. Probably the most ancient means of communication was speech. Hand gestures, body language, and facial expressions are also a means of communication. Dance and music were also very ancient means of communication.

Messengers with verbal messages, signal fires, totems, banners, cave art, etc. were ancient means of communication that predate history.

Proto alphabets and pictographs were used as early as 60,000 years ago. Such script was found on egg shells dating back that far and found in southwestern Africa.

Genuine writing began as early as 5,000 years BC with the Vinca script (although this is disputed). It is undisputed that cuneiform script was in use in what is now Iraq about 3,000 BC. This early writing was typically impressed on clay tablets and allowed to dry. Small tablets could be transported between distant locations. Some script was also present on pottery. Rudimentary codes were used for distant communication with signal fires. Drums could be heard at great distances and were also used to communicate. Once paper was invented, things really took off, literally. Messenger pigeons were used as early as 1150 in Baghdad and also later by Genghis Khan. This ancient means of aerial communication was still in wide use in World War I.

More common were couriers on horseback that would take written messages quickly between people at distances. In ancient Persia (Iran) they had messengers, called angros that would carry messages in stations that had a day's ride distance along the royal road. The riders were exclusively in the service of government. A message could be transported from Susa (south western Iran) to Sardis (western Turkey), a distance of 1,677 miles in just seven days. The same journey took ninety days on foot. This type of system was later used by the Romans. Messages were also transported by boats and ships.

Even ancient communication could be relatively fast.
