A DNA molecule's double helix structure is stabilized by:

Accepted Answer

Electrostatic forces between A-T and G-C base pairs.

Question 12

In a photocopy machine, why do toner particles stick to certain areas of the drum?

Accepted Answer

It is constant and directed from the positive to the negative plate.

Question 16

If three point charges are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, what is the net force on one charge due to the other two?

Accepted Answer

The net force is the vector sum of the two forces.
