Answer:

The proportions of nucleotides in the newly formed complimentary strand will be:

14% Thymine (T), 33% Adenine (A), 21% Guanine (G), 32% Cytosine (C).

Explanation:

In a double stranded DNA, the nucleotides of one strand binds with nucleotides of another strand through hydrogen bonds.

Adenine binds with thymine by two hydrogen bonds (A=T) and guanine binds with cytosine by three hydrogen bonds (G≡C).

So, the complimentary strand must have

thymine equal to the amount of adenine in template strand.
adenine equal to the amount of thymine in template strand.
guanine equal to the amount of cytosine in template strand.
cytosine equal to the amount of guanine in template strand.

If a light bulb is off; how can you tell that It has been used recently? ANSWER ASAP

Ierofanga [76]

If you have a second fixture around, you can use the same test of putting a tube in a working socket and see if it lights. It is not uncommon in fluorescent fixtures to have the ballast burn out. You may detect a burnt smell or see the bulbs flickering.

What is conservation genetics?Question 82 options: conserving a species genome so that it is best adapted to the current environ

solong [7]

Answer:

a way to inform conservation efforts based on genetic information from species

Explanation:

Genetic studies in wildlife and captivity species provide significant information to understand aspects regarding the biology and ecology of species, especially endangered species. Many discoveries have been useful to solve several taxonomic issues, determine the risk of diseases, and explain reproductive problems, among other problems. What is even more important is that genetic knowledge helps to plan management programs and conservation. Together with other areas related to behavior and conservation, genetic knowledge provides the basis to carry out successful conservation strategies.
