Answer:

adenine pairs with Thymine  and guanine always pairs with cytosine respectively

Explanation:

In DNA nucleotide subunits, there are four nitrogenous bases:

  •    Adenine (A)
  •    Thymine (T)
  •    Cytosine (C)
  •    Guanine (G)

Each of these bases can be divided into two categories: purine bases and pyrimidine bases.

Adenine and guanine are examples of purine bases. This means their structure is a nitrogen-containing six atom ring joined with a nitrogen-containing five atom ring that share two atoms to combine the two rings.

Thymine and cytosine are examples of pyrimidine bases.

Note that  RNA replaces thymine with a different pyrimidine base called uracil (U).

The complementary base pairing rule, Chargaff's rule states that DNA base pairs are always adenine with thymine (A-T) and cytosine with guanine (C-G). A purine always pairs with a pyrimidine and vice versa. However, A doesn't pair with C, despite that being a purine and a pyrimidine.

The r group of an amino acid would need to have what characteristic to be located in a cell membrane?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The R group should have the ability to form hydrogen bonds.

The R-group take a lot of different chemical forms and can be acidic, basic, polar or non polar. Amino acids that are either acidic or basic consequently have either positive or negative charge. These types of R-groups are stabilized when surrounded by water.

A prokaryote is most likely to use which of the following modes of metabolism to release energy if it is in an environment witho
Anni [7]
It's letter A - Obligate anaerobe.

<em>Obligate anaerobes</em> are microorganisms killed by normal atmospheric concentrations of oxygen. A <em>facultative anaerobe</em> prefers to produce energy in the presence of oxygen but can survive without it. <span>A <em>photoautotroph </em>is an organism that converts light energy into chemical energy. </span><span>Prokaryotes may perform </span>aerobic<span> (oxygen-requiring) or </span>anaerobic<span> (non-oxygen-based) metabolism and some can switch between these modes. Since we're talking about an environment without oxygen and dies when exposed to oxygen, the preferable answer is A.</span>

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

       It's known in science that a long time ago, all the continents were only one, united all together in a bigger one. This can be observed by the way every continent can fit another one.

       A proof of that too, is evolution, when we find organisms in an island that share some characteristics with organisms from another island, that can mean some things, they come from the same place, or these islands share characteristics that lead these organisms to be this way through evolution.
