What are the roles of covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds in the structure of DNA?

1 answer:

6 0

For the answer to the question above,
DNA is made up of two nucleotide strands. The nucleotides are connected together by covalent bonds within each strand. The sugar of one nucleotide forms a covalent bond with the phosphate group of another. The two strands themselves are connected by hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds are found between the bases of the two strands of nucleotides. Adenine forms hydrogen bonds with thymine whereas guanine forms hydrogen bonds with cytosine. This is called complementary base pairing

9. Convection currents inside the Earth’s ______________ might drive plate motion.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Convection currents in the earth's magma might drive plate motion .

Explanation:

Magma is the molten rock below the crust, in the mantle. Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the plates inside the planet ..

Types of minerals change in heated (First blank) area rock. A record of biological time can be found in (second blank) area rock

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Types of minerals change in heated metamorphic area rock. A record of biological time can be found in sedimentary area rock. Matter changes state from liquid to solid to form igneous area rock

Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks can be described as a type of rocks which arise by the phenomenon of metamorphism. Immense heat and pressure changes previous rocks (sedimentary, igneous or other metamorphic rocks) into metamorphic rocks.

Sedimentary rocks can be described as the type of rocks which are made by the deposition of minerals or organic particles and hence, help in evolutionary studies.

Igneous rocks can be described as the rocks which are made from lava or magma (hence changing state from liquid to solid).

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Their DNA is organized into chromosomes

Explanation:

The only possible answer from the options provided in the comments is that the DNA is organized into chromosomes. The other options are all false. Animal cells do not contain a cell wall, that is specific to plant cells and some bacteria. Animal cells do not have a single loop that contains all of their DNA, that is a feature of bacterial cells. Eukaryotic cells do have membrane bound nuclei, this is in contrast to prokaryotic cells.

However, eukaryotic DNA is organized into chromosomes
