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.

bezimeni [28]

Complete question:

A pathogenic bacterium has been engulfed by a phagocytic cell as part of the innate immune response. Which of the following illustrations best represents the response?<em> Illustrations in the attached files.</em>

Answer:

Graph C best represents the response  

Explanation:

Phagocytosis occurs when the phagocyte incorporates a new solid substance, such as a bacteria. Phagocytosis is a function of specialized immunological system cells. They are capable of removing strange bodies from the immune system as a first natural defense line. The phagocyte membrane invaginates and surrounds the strange body, which is traped and included in an endocytic vesicle called a phagosome. This vesicle often fusses a lysosome which releases its enzymes into the phagosome. These enzymes are in charge of digesting or destroying the strange content. After that, the produced wastes are removed from the cell.

Vilka [71]
The correct option is C.
Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move from the region of lower salt concentration to the region of higher salt concentration, through a semi permeable membrane. 
When the thin slice of potato was put inside the salt water, it shrivels because water move out of its cells into the salt solution. When the potato slice was placed in ordinary water, it regained its normal shape because water molecules enter into its cells.
