Answer:

DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases. To form a strand of DNA, nucleotides are linked into chains, with the phosphate and sugar groups alternating.

The four types of nitrogen bases found in nucleotides are: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order, or sequence, of these bases determines what biological instructions are contained in a strand of DNA. For example, the sequence ATCGTT might instruct for blue eyes, while ATCGCT might instruct for brown. The complete DNA instruction book, or genome, for a human contains about 3 billion bases and about 20,000 genes on 23 pairs of chromosomes.

kozerog [31]

Answer: Increases

When the temperature of a gas is increased, the kinetic energy

of molecules increases

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of gases, gases possess particles that are in continual random motion. Thus, the increase in temperature of gases will increase the kinetic energy of each particle meant for traveling in space, and then their collision with the walls of the containing vessel.

First of all, the nucleotides of DNA and RNA are different: in DNA, in fact, pentose sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA it is ribose, which has one more oxygen atom. Moreover, in DNA the nitrogen bases are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine while in RNA instead of thymine there is the uracil base
