Answer:

If a strand of DNA contains the bases adenine, cytosine, cytosine and guanine the order of the bases on the opposite strand is thymine, guanine, guanine and cytosine.

Explanation:

DNA contains a double strand, each of which contains a specific sequence of bases —adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine— whose order determines the genetic information stored in this nucleic acid.

The sequence of bases on one DNA strand is complementary on the other strand, taking into account the complementarity of bases, i.e. the purines adenine and guanine are complemented by the pyrimidines thymine and cytosine, respectively:

A = T

G ≡ C

So that the sequence A - C - C - G of one chain is complemented by the sequence T - G - G - C of the other.

Taking into account the above information, the other options can be discarded, as they do not comply with the complementarity of bases in the DNA.

What drives the process of plate tectonics, the currently accepted explanation for the movement of drifting continents?

Elena-2011 [213]

There is heat from the Earth’s core. Unfortunately, even thought the Earth is round, this heat isn’t evenly distributed. Therefore, sometimes the pressure from the heat in some areas can create currents that move the plates across the Earth’s surface.

Komok [63]

Geographical Isolation is the mechanism that might have led to the appearance of the Hawaiian honeycreeper.

Geographical Isolation is the term used that refers to a population of animals, plants, or other organisms that are separated and unable to exchange genetic materials with other organism of the same species.

Geographical Isolation may be a result of coincidence or accident.

Here are some factors of Geographical Isolation:
1) Isolation by barriers
2) Isolation by distance
3) Isolation after an Event
4) Isolation by separation

When the micturation reflex is initiated, the brain responds by __________ action potentials (APs) in somatic motor neurons, res

kozerog [31]

Answer:

1. Reducing

2. External

Explanation:

The external urinary sphincter, also called as external urethral sphincter consists of skeletal muscles. During micturition reflex, the micturition center present in the brain serves to inhibit the somatic motor neurons by reducing their action potential. These somatic motor neurons innervate in the external urinary sphincter.

Inhibition of somatic motor neurons of the external urinary sphincter results in relaxation of the sphincter to facilitate the act of urination.

8. Aubrey Kingsley was trapped in a house fire and suffered third-degree burns on her arms, legs.

Luda [366]

Answer:

Third-degree burns destroy the epidermis and dermis. They may go into the innermost layer of skin, the subcutaneous tissue. The burn site may look white or blackened and charred.

Explanation:

The treatment of third-degree burns may require the process of skin grafting or the use of synthetic skin. Severe burns covering large parts of the body may need more intensive treatments such as intravenous (IV) antibiotics to prevent infection or IV fluids to replace fluids lost when skin was burned.
