<span>Two of the nitrogenous bases present in DNA (Guanine and Adenine) contain two rings and thus are much larger than the other two (Cytosine and Thymine), which have only one.
Nitrogenous bases with two rings (such as G and A) are known as PURINES, whereas nitrogenous bases with a single ring (such as C and T) are known as PYRIMIDINES.
A stable DNA structure is formed ONLY when the two strands are a constant distance
apart which ONLY happens when a PURINE (G or A) on one strand is paired with a PYRIMIDINE (C or T) on the other strand. The strands would have to move much further apart to permit a purine to pair with another purine and would have to move much closer together to permit a pyrimidine to pair with a pyrimidine.

Answer:
The correct answer is ''aids in the passive movement of water out of the tubule''
Explanation:
The nephron loop has a descending branch, which goes to the renal medulla, and an ascending branch, which goes back to the cortex. The nephrons of these kidneys can have loops of Henle of different dimensions. The thin segment of the loop has thin epithelial membranes, its cells are highly permeable to water, but not to solutes. The water that exits from the descending portion of the nephron loop into the medullary space is immediately reabsorbed by the peritubular capillaries, causing osmolality to increase in both the tubular fluid and the medullary interstitial fluid. The characteristics of the descending branch differ from one species to another, the normal thing is that in one way or another, the osmotic concentration of the urine that moves through it is balanced with that of the interstitial fluid.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The deposition of pesticides in the bond with result to increase in bacteria that breakdown the chemicals for energy. This provides ‘food’ for bacteriophages and then food for algae that will thrive in the pond. They take up oxygen from the pond and make the waters anoxic. The fish will, therefore, be smothered and their numbers will reduce in the pond.
Answer: Metric System
Explanation: The metric system is a more logical way of explaining measurements because it uses base ten to go up or down in the scale of measurement. This makes it more efficient and reasonable, on top of being easier to learn.
