Answer - C
The nitrogenous base pairs on the structure of the DNA resemble the rungs of the ladder. Alternating deoxyribose sugars and the phosphate groups form the rails of the ladder.

Answer:

The correct answer is nitrogenous base pairs.

Explanation:

DNA is formed of polymers of nitrogenous bases, pentose sugar, and phosphate molecules called nucleotides. In the molecule of DNA, the two strands get twist around each other and demonstrate a twisted ladder.

The alternative phosphate groups and the sugar forms the rails of the ladder, while the rungs or steps of the ladder are formed by the pairs of nitrogenous bases, which are attached to each other with the help of hydrogen bonds in between them. Hence, the correct answer is nitrogenous base pairs.

Anna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The beam emitted travels along a straight path and it is divergent in nature. It has its radius increasing progressively as the distance away from the source of light increases.

2. It would be observed that the region where the bulb is positioned has denser light beam. This gets fainter towards the edges of the beam and away from the bulb.

The number of covalent bonds that an atom tends to form is equal to:

Zarrin [17]

C. The number of covalent bonds is equal to the number of unpaired valence electrons. For example, nitrogen and phosphorous both have 3 unpaired valence electrons thus forming 3 covalent bonds.
