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.

RSS<br>What happens in meiosis during telophase 2?​
ololo11 [35]

Telophase 2 is the final step of meiosis 2 in which homologous chromosomes reach the  opposite poles and four haploid cells are formed.

Explanation:

The telophase 2 ends up in four haploid (n=2) cells. It is in this phase the genetic material of the parent cell is divided into 2 daughter cells. The events taking place are nuclear membrane reappears (karyokinesis has taken place by now), spindle fibres and astral rays disappear, chromosomes decondensed to become chromatids (thin fibres), constriction on equatorial plate consequently four daughter cells formed.
