Answer:
d. nitrogen-containing base
.
Explanation:
A nucleotide comprises a phosphate group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base (nitrogen-containing base).
A nitrogenous base is a type of aromatic heterocyclic organic compound which essentially has nitrogen in it. The base can be a purine or pyrimidine. Purine nitrogenous bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G) while pyrimidine nitrogenous bases are cytosine (C), thiamine (T) and uracil (U).
Till the time a base is not attached to covalently linked phosphate group and a pentose sugar, it is known as nucleoside. But as soon as we attach any nitrogenous base to the nucleoside, a nucleotide is formed. So it means a nucleotide is nucleoside + nitrogenous base.
Examples are as under:
A nucleotide which has adenine as nitrogenous base is known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while a nucleotide which has guanine as nitrogenous base is known as Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP).
Vector: anything that transmits a disease.
Malaria vectors can include mosquitos, ticks, and other blood sucking insects.
P.S.: Hope I Helped :)
The answer would be skeletal markers and DNA analysis.
Skeletal markers are often used to identify the biological gender of skeletal remains. The most commonly used skeletal markers can be observed in the skull and in the pelvic bone.However, the accuracy of his method is limited to adults only the differences between male and female skeletal markers usually become visibly only after maturation.
DNA analysis is more widely uses nowadays because with the technology of today, laboratories can now detect and X and Y chromosome-specific sequences, which help them identify the biological gender.
nebular hypothesis
The most widely accepted theory of planetary formation, known as the nebular hypothesis, maintains that 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud which was light years across. Several stars, including the Sun, formed within the collapsing cloud.
