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!

Use of fossil fuels has increased the total amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.
nika2105 [10]

The correct answer is option a. true.

The fossil fuels, including coal and oil are present very deep inside the earth. In the carbon cycle, only fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the organic material takes place. This cycle does not involve the recycling of the fossil fuels.

The burning of the fossil fuels directly release carbon dioxide and other carbon compound in the atmosphere, which was not involved in the cycle when it was present deep beneath the earth and ocean. Hence, the burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.

Why do plants look green?
Alja [10]

Answer:

The longer answer lies in the details of photosynthesis, the electromagnetic spectrum, energy and “special pairs” of chlorophyll molecules in each plant cell. ... As such, plants look green because they absorb red light most efficiently and the green light is reflected.

Explanation:

Green plants are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum. ... Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green. Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of plants

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicles.

Explanation:

The endomembrane system in eukaryotes has divided the cell organelles into the structural and functional unit. This system plays an important role in the protein processing, its sorting and transport of protein.

The protein is prepared from the plasma cells. The antibodies is made on the ribosomes by the translation process. From the ribosomes, it will move to the endoplasmic reticulum for the glycosylation and protein folding. Then it moves to the golgi for the further protein packaging and processing. With the help of the vesicles it moves to its destination part in the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
