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.

ryzh [129]
<span>A light microscope uses focused light and lenses to magnify an object. Light microscopes come in several forms. (1) Simple light microscopes use a single lens to magnify an object and cannot reach high magnification just like a handheld lens whose highest clear magnification in the best conditions is 25x. (2) Compound light microscopes use two sets of lenses - an objective lens and an eye piece. This is the type of light microscope whose magnification power reaches between 1000x and 2000x.</span>
