I hope i helped

Explanation:

A base pair (bp) is a fundamental unit of double-stranded nucleic acids consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds. They form the building blocks of the DNA double helix and contribute to the folded structure of both DNA and RNA. Dictated by specific hydrogen bonding patterns, "Watson–Crick" base pairs (guanine–cytosine and adenine–thymine) allow the DNA helix to maintain a regular helical structure that is subtly dependent on its nucleotide sequence. The complementary nature of this based-paired structure provides a redundant copy of the genetic information encoded within each strand of DNA. The regular structure and data redundancy provided by the DNA double helix make DNA well suited to the storage of genetic information, while base-pairing between DNA and incoming nucleotides provides the mechanism through which DNA polymerase replicates DNA and RNA polymerase transcribes DNA into RNA. Many DNA-binding proteins can recognize specific base-pairing patterns that identify particular regulatory regions of genes.

A twin study is conducted to examine the role of genetics and environment on the fondness of individuals for chocolate. Which of

djyliett [7]

"Identical twins are more similar on the trait than fraternal twins" would lead to the conclusion that genetic factors are important in the development of this trait.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Research performed on identical or fraternal twins are twin investigations. We seek to expose the significance for characteristics, phenotypes and diseases of environmental and genetic factors. Twin work is considered a key instrument in the domains of behavioral genetics and material, from biology to psychology.

Fraternal or dizygous twins each share around 50 % of their DNA, just like any other parent. Since the twins are born into the same family they share other factors of their surroundings. The existence of a given genetic or phenotypic trait in just one component of a pair of twins called discordance offers a valuable insight into influence on such a trait on climate.

Under what circumstances might the plates of the earth stop moving?

FrozenT [24]

Answer is for the earths core to cool enough for convection to stop, then the plates would have no convection current to move them.

Explanation: If the Earth's core were to cool down, the convection currents in the mantle would stop moving. Since the convection currents drive the plates, they would stop moving.

In recent years, there has been controversy among biologists about whether Neanderthals should be placed within the same species

Natali [406]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - biological species concept.

Explanation:

The biological species concept is a concept of speciation or how a species forms in nature. According to this, a species is the group of the population that can naturally or potentially interbreed with each other, not on the basis of their physical similarities or habitats.

The physical appearance could be useful as recognizing a species but not defining it. As neanderthals show very little or no gene flow with a modern human it means they do not belong to the same species as modern homo sapiens.

Thus, the correct answer is- biological species concept.
