The first gap is phosphate sugar skeleton

The second gap is  nitrogenous bases .

The third gap is  nitrogenous base too, found only in RNA.


The skeleton of DNA is the phosphate-sugar succession of which each sugar bears a nitrogenous base.

Nitrogen bases are nitrogenous organic compounds present in nucleic acids in the form of nucleotides in which they are linked to a sugar.

The five main bases are adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil.

A sugar-phosphate backbone (alternating grey-dark grey) joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.The two strands run in opposite directions, one going in a 3' to 5' direction and the other going in a 5' to 3' direction. The nitrogenous bases are positioned inside the helix structure like "rungs on a ladder," due to the hydrophobic effect, and stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U. The others are adenine, cytosine, and guanine. In RNA, uracil binds to adenine via two hydrogen bonds. In DNA, the uracil nucleobase is replaced by thymine. Uracil is a demethylated form of thymine.

hope this helps

Cells are categorized as either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. classify the characteristics below as being unique to prokaryotic cel
dezoksy [38]
Prokaryotic cells: lack membrane-bound organelles, relatively small - typically less than 10 μm in size. 

Both cell types: use ribosomes to synthesize proteins, contain DNA. 

Eukaryotic cells: complete copy of DNA stored in multiple chromosomes.

In particular, prokaryotic cells have no nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles, therefore their ribosomes float freely intracellularly. On the other hand, eukaryotic cells have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Also, their DNA is bound to proteins and stored in the form of chromosomes in the nucleus.

How might an individual's own cells lead to false verdicts of guilt.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Through a circumstance known as "secondary transfer DNA", or "Touch DNA".

Explanation:

Most times when a crime is committed, DNA samples are obtained from surfaces in the scene where the crime was committed. There is a very huge possibility of picking up the DNA of someone who was never at the scene of the crime and this is a result of a condition known as Touch DNA.

Because we touch several objects which can be moved to different locations and touch people who are also always mobile, our DNA cells can find their ways to a crime scene where we had never physically been to. This can lead to false verdicts of guilt.
