Which of these does NOT match the nitrogenous base to the nucleobase?

A. Purine: Adenine

B. Purine: Thymine

C. Pyrimidine: Uracil

D. Pyrimidine: Cytosine

Answer Explanation:

There are two types of nitrogenous bases: purine and pyrimidine bases. Purine bases have two rings in their structure and consist of adenine and guanine. Pyrimidine bases only have one ring in their structure and consist of thymine and cytosine (DNA) and uracil and cytosine (RNA). Therefore, the correct answer is B since thymine is a pyrimidine.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

  • Q #1: Where is the gastrocnemius vein in relation to the femoral vein?

    A. Lateral

    B. Distal

    C. Superior

    D. Ventral

    Answer Explanation

    The gastrocnemius vein is found in the calf. The femoral vein is found in the proximal anterior thighs/pelvis.

    Since the gastrocnemius vein is found below the femoral vein it is distal or inferior to the femoral vessel.

  • Q #3: Which of the following answers shows CH4 +2O2=CO2 +H2O as balanced?

    A. CH4 + 2O2 = 2CO2 + 2H2O

    B. 2CH4 + 4O2 = 2CO2 + H2O

    C. 2CH4 + O2 = 2CO2 + H2O

    D. CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

    Answer Explanation

    For the formula CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O to be balanced there must be an equal number of molecules on both the reactant and product sides. In this case, for the formula to be balanced, a coefficient of a 2 needs to be placed in front of the O2 and the H2O molecules. This would make both the reactant and product sides have one carbon, four hydrogens, and four oxygens
