Answer:

The nitrogenous bases <u>Adenine (A), pairs with uracil (U), while guanine (G) and cytosine (C) pair up.</u>

Explanation:

Nucleotides are monomers that make up DNA and RNA- these are nucleic acids that function as storage, transport and messenger molecules for encoding proteins. Nucleotides contain a 5-carbon deoxyribose (with hydroxyl modifications) or ribose sugar (RNA), phosphate and one of four nitrogenous bases:

Adenine (A)

Guanine (G)

Cytosine (C)

Thymine (T).- DNA only

Uracil (U) found in RNA

Nucleotide monomers derive their names from their bases. Nucleic acid polymers form on a single strand through covalent bonding. This occurs between two nucleotides in an esterification reaction where a phosphodiester bond is formed.

Nitrogenous bases encourage hydrogen bonding, and resulting base pair formation. Adenine (A), pairs with uracil (U), while guanine (G) and cytosine (C) pair up.

5.A solar nebula forms when the gas and dust are pulled together in a spinning disk. Particles began to clump together due to gravity, and larger chunks of material exert more gravity on nearby dust and gas. These chunks of material grew faster and formed planets or moons. Denser elements such as iron settled closer to the center of the solar nebula.
