The higher the GC content of a DNA, the higher the strength of the interchain interactions, and the higher the melting temperature.

DNA is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the genetic material in maximum of the organisms. The DNA is a polymer made from nucleotides (sugar, nitrogenous bases and phosphate group). It is composed of two strands of phosphate and sugar backbone in an antiparallel direction. The nitrogenous bases present in DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).

GC content refers to the total amount of Guanine and Cytosine present in the DNA. Since there exists a triple bond between G and C, more percentage of them provides strength to DNA. That is why high GC content denotes high melting temperature of DNA.

Predict the dominant type of bonding by considering electronegativity.
Vlad1618 [11]
If the atoms that are bonding have identical electronegativities, then it's a completely nonpolar covalent bond. This doesn't happen in the real world unless the two atoms are of the same element. In a practical sense, any two elements with an electronegativity difference less than 0.3 is considered to be nonpolar covalent.
As the difference between the atoms increases, the covalent bond becomes increasingly polar. At a polarity difference of 1.7 (this changes depending on who you ask) we consider it no longer to be a covalent bond and to be the electrostatic interactions characteristic in an ionic compound.
Just so you know, you shouldn't take these values as exact. ALL interactions between adjacent atoms involve some sharing of electrons, no matter how big the difference in electronegativity. Sure, you wouldn't expect much sharing in KF, but there's a little sharing of electrons anyway. There's certainly no big cutoff that happens at a difference of 1.7 Pauling Electronegativity units.

Red rose color is produced by either of two genes, R/r and I/i. The dominant alleles of both these genes produce red pigment, an
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

3:1

Explanation:

To find out the phenotypic ratio, we need to do a Punnet Square.

We know that R and I are the dominant alleles that produce red flowers, and r and i are the recessive traits.

<u>  ║R ║ r</u>

<u>I ║RI║Ir</u>

<u>i ║Ri║ir</u>

The genotype ratio would be 3 because the dominant traits are present three times (RI, Ir, and Ri) and 1 for the recessive trait since it only appears once in the Punnet Square (ir). In conclusion, the phenotypic ratio form the roses are 3:1
