DNA is forms a double helix shape/strand. The rule of base pairing is pretty much something that you just need to know by heart. A (adenine), T (Thymine), G (Guanine), and C (Cytosine) and the 4 bases that make up DNA. 

***** The most important part is to know that A always pairs with T and G always pairs with C ***** 

So, the double helix strand of DNA is made up of two strands - kind of like a ladder - one strand is the original, while the other is a replicate of the original strand that is formed through different steps of polymerase reaction etc. 

So, for example, let's say strand 1 has this code: ATGCTAGCTGATCG (I made this up, probably doesn't code for anything). But, knowing this, what will it's replicate of second strand look like? 

Original strand:       ATGCTAGCTGATCG
Replicate Strand:    TACGATCGACTAGC

So, you can see from the above example that to form the replicate strand, you just insert the base that pairs with the one from the original strand. A-T and G-C!

Hope that helped!

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The brackish water adaptation is clearly necessary because the aquatic snails need to live in an environment in which the river system has a higher quantity of salt than what land snails can take. I can determine that the environmental factors influenced the inherited adaptations because the second population has a higher salt concentration in their habitat compared to the initial population.

Explain the role of the cork cambium in woody plants.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The cork cambium is a natural insulator that protects woody plants from an hostile environment.

Explanation:

The cork Cambium is a tissue that belongs to the epidermis, it is responsible for the secundary growth in the plant and replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. The cork cambium also protects the plant from overhydration, it is waterproof and has really selective ways to let the water into the plant (apoplastic and symplastic pathway).

There is some special plants in the coast of the tropical area called mangrooves, these plants has really specialized cork cambium that controls not only the water levels but also the salt levels into the plant.

The cork cambium is really important because protects and regulates the plant and its environment.
