The sample that is being discussed in the problem can be either DNA or RNA.

DNA and RNA are both very important molecules. Both of these hold immense value in biology since they store all the vital information required for living. The basic structures of the two are quite similar; the only difference is that DNA is double-stranded while RNA has a single strand.

DNA and RNA molecules both contain a five-carbon sugar (ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Except for cytosine, guanine, and adenine, the fourth part is the phosphate group that exists in both. RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine.

Since it has not been mentioned here what the fourth part might be, the sample might be a DNA or an RNA molecule.

Darya [45]

Whales use their lower jawbone to the middle ear. whereby they can ear clearly while they are in the water. Human ears and dolphins ears they work the same . They receive sound directly from the air.

In similar way dolphins and human ears are placed in basic anatomical location which is same as on the head. Without a medium hearing is not possible.

The medium sound for human is air. Sound travels 343 meters per second in air and 147 meters per second in water. The most effective way of transmitting sound waves is through water.

We can say that the sound will be fast to travel in medium if the molecules are closer.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

16 pg at the end of S

16 pg at the end of G2

Explanation:

A cell has 8 pg of DNA per nucleus in G1.

During S phase the DNA replicates, so every nucleus will contain double the normal amount of DNA that was present in G1. Therefore, at the end of S each nucleus would have 16 pg of DNA.

During G2 the cell continues growing and preparing for mitosis, but DNA content does not change: there are still 16 pg per nucleus.
