This nitrogenous base, adenine, pairs with ___________ in DNA

2 answers:

8 0

Summary. Base pairs occur when nitrogenous basesmake hydrogen bonds with each other. Each base has a specific partner: guanine with cytosine, adenine with thymine (in DNA) or adenine with uracil (in RNA). The hydrogen bonds are weak, allowing DNA to 'unzip'.

Answer:

The correct answer will be-thymine

Explanation:

The nitrogenous bases form base pair following the complementary rule suggested by the Chargaff.

The Chargaff suggested that purine binds pyrimidine where adenine will bind thymine and guanine will bind the cytosine respectively in a DNA. This adenine binds the guanine by forming two hydrogen bonds between them whereas the cytosine binds guanine by three hydrogen bonds.

Thus, thymine is the correct answer.

Why do animals have a specialized form of cellular reproduction (meiosis) in addition to the much more common for used for growt

ratelena [41]

This is because the cells we need for reproduction need to be genetically different from those of the rest of the body.

Cellular reproduction

When a mother cell divides into two or more daughter cells, this process is known as cell division. Cell division frequently takes place as a component of a longer cell cycle. There are two different types of cell division in eukaryotes: a vegetative division (mitosis), in which each daughter cell inherits the genetic makeup of the parent cell, and a reproductive division (gametogenesis), in which the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is cut in half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis). In cell biology, the process of mitosis, during which replicated chromosomes are split into two new nuclei, is a stage of the cell cycle. The number of chromosomes is maintained in the genetically identical cells produced by cell division.

What effect would fertilizers have if they entered the st.johns river ecosystem?

galben [10]

If fertilizers enter the St.Johns river they will result in nutrient overload, or eutrophication and harming the ecosystem of the river. The river will exceed its assimilative capacity for nitrogen and phosphorus. this will deplete oxygen in the water needed by fish and reduce light that is essential to submerged vegetation.

Genetic disorders caused by multiple genes interacting with the environment are called

Elan Coil [88]

Multifactorial disorder

Multifactorial disorders are disorders that involve variations in multiple genes joined with environmental causes. Diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity are multifactorial disorder as they do not have single genetic cause but are caused by a combination of environmental factors and life style with mutations in multiple genes.
