A key part of the Watson-Crick model came when Watson realized that adenine could form hydrogen bonds with thymine and guanine
could form hydrogen bonds with cytosine. This explains why A=T
and G C in Chargaff's rules. Also, these two hydrogen-bonded
nucleotide pairs had the exact same width, so they could form the
rungs of the DNA ladder.
The fact that these pairs could match up only in this way meant that
the sequence of bases in one strand could determine the sequence
of bases in a second strand created from the first. The second strand
is said to be complementary to the first strand. Individual bases are
paired so that the identity of any base determines the identity of the
base paired with it; that is, the complementary base.
This table lists the base abbreviations for bases in a sample of single-
stranded DNA. Fill in the second column with the base abbreviations
that are complementary to the given bases.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Which of the following statements most accurately describes convergent evolution? the process in which two similar species evolve separately from each other and share similar characteristics the process in which a single species evolves into two or more new species the process in which two entirely different species evolve in response to each other the process in which two different species evolve separately from each other but still share similar characteristics
