Gum should not affect a DNA test but if it did I would assume because of the bacteria/dna on the gum/gum wrapper.

The bacteria on the gum is the reason why. In the process of making gum, there are so many things that touch it that could mess up the results of the extraction. Even if it was machines that touched it, the ingredients from gum had to be touched by humans to create it.

According to the cell theory, which structure contains cells? A)blood B)water C)carbon dioxide D)chromosome
MrRa [10]

The correct answer is option A, that is, blood.  

Cell theory in biology refers to the universally acknowledged scientific theory that living species are constructed of cells, that is, they are the basic fundamental and structural unit of all species, and that all the cells arises from the pre-existing cells. The theory is credited to Schwann and Schleiden. The three postulates of the theory are:  

1. All living species comprises of one or more cells.  

2. Cell originate from the pre-existing cells.  

3. The cells is the fundamental unit of organization and composition in organisms.

Cómo clasificarías la Adenina​
stiks02 [169]

Classification of Adenine is given below.

Explanation:

  • Adenine is one of the four bases that make up DNA. It corresponds to the letter A of the sequence that combines A, C, G and T in the DNA. Adenine has the property that, when it is in the double helix, it is always forming a pair with the thymine of the opposite strand.
  • Adenine is one of the five nitrogenous bases that are part of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and in the genetic code is represented by the letter A. The other four bases are guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil. Adenine is always paired with thymine in DNA.
  • A chemical compound that cells use to make the fundamental elements of DNA and RNA. It is also part of many substances in the body that provide energy to cells. Adenine is a type of purine. DNA structure.
  • The adenine formula, which is derived from purine, is C5H5N5. It is a component of the nucleic acid chains that is in the nucleotides, as is the rest of the nitrogenous bases of RNA and RNA (uracil, thymine, cytokine and guanine).
  • Cytosine (C) is one of the four bases of DNA, the other three being adenine (A), guanine (G) and thymine (T). Within the DNA molecule, the cytosine bases are located in a chain forming chemical bonds with the guanine bases of the opposite chain
  • Adenine and thymine are complementary (A = T), linked by two hydrogen bridges, while guanine and cytosine (G≡C) are linked by three hydrogen bridges. Since RNA does not contain thymine, complementarity is established between adenine and uracil (A = U) by two hydrogen bridges.
