Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which the subunits are linked.
Introduction: Nucleotides are ubiquitous molecules and building blocks of the nucleic acids. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is made up of deoxynucleotides, whereas the ribonucleic acid (RNA) is made up of ribonucleotides. DNA consists of genetic instructions in the form of gene sequences.

Explain whether predators and scavengers are necessary or beneficial for an ecosystem.arrow_forwardmagine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
