Because it makes accessing them easier for the cell, it is assumed that the bases will be on the outside of the DNA molecule.

<h3>What is DNA molecule?</h3>
  • Because the two DNA strands are made up of simpler monomeric units termed nucleotides, they are referred to as polynucleotides.
  • Each nucleotide is made up of a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and one of the four nitrogen-containing nucleobases (cytosine [C], guanine [G], adenine [A], or thymine [T]).
  • An alternating sugar-phosphate backbone is created when the nucleotides are linked together in a chain by covalent connections (also referred to as the phospho-diester linkage) between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next.
  • To create double-stranded DNA, the nitrogenous bases of the two distinct polynucleotide strands are joined by hydrogen bonds in accordance with the base pairing principles (A with T and C with G). Pyrimidines and purines make up the two families of complimentary nitrogenous bases.

In an analysis of the nucleotide composition of DNA, which of the following proportions will be found?
katrin [286]

Answer:

With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).

Explanation:

The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:

  • <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
  • <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>

From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

<em>     5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>

Why does increasing soil salinity have adverse effects on plant cells?
borishaifa [10]
Ezywhen salinity in soil increases the soil becomes hypertonic when compared to cell sap.the movement of particles from a lower concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution is callede osmosis. in general conditions cell sap is at higher conc. than surrounding media. this allows water and minerals to enter the plant. but when soil is at higher conc. i.e., when its salinity increases the process becomes reversed can you imagine its consequenses?
