Answer;

-Because the chemical groups that form hydrogen bonds are in the wrong positions.

Explanation;

-A base pair is any of the pairs of nucleotides connecting the complementary strands of a molecule of DNA or RNA and consisting of a purine linked to a pyrimidine by hydrogen bonds.

-The base pairs are adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine in DNA, and adenine-uracil and guanine-cytosine in RNA or in hybrid DNA-RNA pairing. A mutation in the sequence of DNA that makes an adenine to be paired with a cytosine results to an unstable interaction because the chemical groups that form hydrogen bonds are in the wrong positions.

Where does energy first come into an ecosystem?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:B. Sunlight provides energy to producers

Explanation: photoautotrophs (plants) produce energy from sunlight by photosynthesis. This is the only energy production based on an external source of energy. Plants, whether alive or dead, are consumed by heterotrophs - bacteria, fungi and animals. The nutrients and energy from dead heterotrophs (and some live ones) are recycled by both autotrophs and heterotrophs.

1. What was the independent variable in this lab? *
Lelechka [254]
I can’t give you a specific answer because I’m not sure what your lab is. However, an independent variable is the variable that is changed, the dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the change, and the constant variables are those which remain the same throughout the entire experiment.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The pulmonary artery carries de-oxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. It is the only artery that carries de-oxygenated blood. This blood is usually from the tissues and has a lot of carbon dioxide from the cellular respiration of cells around the body. The blood is pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated and the carbon dioxide expelled.
