Answer:

The correct answer will be option D (Backbone).

Explanation:

DNA is a large molecule made up of monomer units called nucleotides and serves the function of genetic material of organisms.

Each nucleotide is made up of 5-C sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate group (PO₄³⁻) and nitrogenous bases (adenine,cytosine,guanine and thymine). Sugar and phosphate molecule forms the backbone of the DNA while nitrogenous bases are stacked perpendicular to the backbone which pair with another complimentary base by hydrogen bonds forming a double helical structure of DNA in organisms.

Since teacher was modeling the DNA with the coiled springs, she was modeling the backbone of the DNA formed of sugar and phosphate which twists after every 10 bp or 3.4 nm length.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Why doesn''t the patellar reflex happen when your leg is straight?
irga5000 [103]

The patellar reflex can be defined as the kicking movement of the lower leg which occurs with a sudden twitch when the patellar tendon of a person is tapped. This patellar tendon is present below a person's kneecap. This reflex happens only when the leg is bended. It is impossible for patellar reflex to occur if the leg is straight as the quadriceps muscles are already contracted and a sudden kicking movement of the leg in such state could not be elicited.  The patellar reflex protects the quadriceps  from stretching too much.
