The correct answer is hydrogen bonding. The hydrogens on the amine groups of each base can hydrogen bond with the nitrogens and oxygens in the adjacent base. Three hydrogen bonds are formed between cytosine and guanine, and these three bonds are what make up the "rungs" of the ladder, that is the DNA double helix.

Originally, bromine is in the axial position and the other two substituents are equatorial. During a chair flip, all substituents become inverted in their positions. Therefore, the bromine will be found in the equatorial position and both the chlorine and alcohol will be found in the axial position.

By definition, an organic compound is a compound that contains carbon. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing molecules.

By definition, isomers are compounds that share the same molecular formula but have differing molecular structures. 1-butanol and 2-butanol share the same formula, but the hydroxyl group can be located on either the first or second carbon on the molecule, yielding two different structures that share the same molecular formula. The other answers have different molecular formulas and are thus not isomers.

By definition, resonance structures are multiple Lewis structures that depict the same molecular compound. The only difference pertains to the way in which electrons are shared by atoms in the molecule. Molecules are weighted averages of their most stable resonance contributors.

Alpha-pinene is a terpene, and is thus composed of isoprene units. A single isoprene unit has 5 carbon atoms. This molecule has 10 carbons, thus it contains 2 isoprene units.

This is cholic acid, a steroid. Steroids can be easily identified by their characteristic fused ring structures.

The boron in 2 is sp 3 hybridized because of its four substituents and the carbon in 4 is sp hybridized because of its connection to only the nitrogen with a single .

Pyrimidine is one classification of a nucleotide base that is formed of only one six-membered heterocyclic ring. Cytosine and thymine (of DNA) and uracil (of RNA) are all pyrimidines while adenine and guanine are classified as purines. One way to help you remember this is that pyrimidines, like pyramids, are "sharp." Sharp things "CUT" Cytosine, Uracil, Thymine.
