I like to think of the DNA molecule strand as a ladder, rather than a spiral staircase. The siderail of the DNA ladder (The DNA "Backbone") consists of the Sugar and Phosphate molecules. The rungs of the ladder (the inner bases) consist of the pairs of Nitrogen Bases - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. 

hope this helped :)

Explain what asexual reproduction is, using a spider plant as an example.
kupik [55]
Answer:

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that doesn’t involve gametes fusing or the change in the number of chromosomes. A spider plant is the perfect example of asexual reproduction, but when it comes to plants like that, it’s referred to a type of asexual reproduction called vegetative propagation.

Describe some changes that occurred during the process of human evolution by comparing the first primates to the first hominids?
wolverine [178]

Answer:Rather, it could look more like one branch or the other branch, or something else entirely. Did the common ancestor of humans and chimps conform to the ape-man myth and live in the trees, swinging from vines? To answer this, we have to focus not only on anatomy but on behavior, and we have to do it in a phylogenetic context.
