Answer:

T-A-C-T-G

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid, widely known as DNA, is the genetic material in living cells. It is a double-stranded molecule, with each strand arising from the pair of nucleotide monomers that forms its structure. In the DNA, four nucleotides exist namely: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

These four bases occur in different combinations to form a sequence that makes up each strand of the DNA. However, each nucleotide pairs with one another using the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine will always hydrogen bond with Thymine, while Guanine will always hydrogen bond with Cytosine i.e. A-T, G-C.

Based on the above, a DNA strand with sequence: A-T-G-A-C will pair with another DNA strand with sequence: T-A-C-T-G.

How does crossing over add to the genetic diversity of sexually reproducing organisms?

neonofarm [45]

<span>Crossover is the first way that genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Crossover takes place in sexual reproduction. Chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other. When they break at the same place (locus) in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination. That is the normal way for crossover to occur. Genetic recombination ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity is created.</span>

When an environment is hypotonic what happens to the cell?

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will take in water across their membrane until both the external solution and the cytosol are isotonic. A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution.
