Answer:

There is no attachment to this question, however, the base sequence on the model built by the student is: CAGCCATC

The options of the bases on the complementary model are:

A) CTACCGAC

B) GUCGGUAG

C) GTCGGAAG

D) GTCGGTAG

The answer is D

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is a polymer biomolecule made up of nucleotide bases. It is a double stranded molecule, with each strand containing nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds. The pairing of nucleotides in one strand of DNA to another follows the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine binds to Thymine (A-T) while Guanine binds to Cytosine (G-C).

According to this question, a student builds a model containing the base sequence: CAGCCATC, the model that contains bases that are complementary to the ones built by the student is: GTCGGTAG

In a strand of DNA, each single nucleotide represents a single letter of the DNA code. The following image represents a segment

OleMash [197]

The immense amount of information stored in DNA is coded with just four base nucleotides. These four nucleotides are paired by twos to form complementary DNA chains.

The makeup of DNA is limited to two pairs of nucleotides bases. One of these pairs is a pyrimidine base whilst the other forms a purine base. The four nucleotides that will make up the entire DNA code are:

Adenine (A)
Guanine (G)
Cytosine (C)
Thymine (T).

A and G will pair to form the purine base, meanwhile, Cytosine pairs with Thymine to form the pyrimidine base. As per the entire DNA code, A will always pair with G.

Whilst C always pairs with T. This is due to the very nature of the nucleotides themselves and will not change throughout the synthesis or duplication of DNA. Therefore, to complete the complementary strand described in the assignment we must match the letter given with its corresponding base pair, using this rule of DNA.

Why are gymnosperms no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses?

erastovalidia [21]

Gymnosperms are no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses because they have evolved to produce non-flagellated pollens that do not require water or moisture to reach the egg whereas ferns and mosses have flagellated sperm that needs moisture to swim towards the egg.

Another major evolutionary adaption in gymnosperms is the production of seeds instead of spores since seeds contain their own nutrition in the form of endosperm, seeds can travel large distances through wind or animals and can germinate when they find suitable conditions. Seeds can remain dormant for several years whereas spores have a shorter lifespan.
