Answer: Van der Waals forces
Explanation:
Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.
The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.
Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.
Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.
True guards cells open during the day
Answer:
The correct option is option C, nucleus
Explanation:
As the scenario described in the question, the medicine X functions on the DNA as it's characteristic shows that it is damaging the DNA. The DNA is present inside the nucleus of a cell. Hence, for a medicine to function on the DNA, the medicine must enter the nucleus of the cell as it is the location where the DNA is present.
Other options like, option D, is not correct because the process of conversion of mRNA into proteins takes place in the ribosomes and DNA is not present there.
