An organism's genomic dna is analyzed and found to contain 22% thymine. what percentage of that organism's dna is guanine?

Biology

abruzzese [7]3 years ago

In an organism's genomic data, 100 percent is made up of adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. Adenine and thymine are complementary pairs in a DNA so they should have the same concentration in the DNA. This would also be the case for Cytosine and Guanine. We are given 22 percent of thymine so we also have 22% of adenine. This would leave us with only 100-22 = 78 percent for both guanine and cytosine. And since they are present in equal amounts, we simply divide the remaining percentage by two to determine the amount of each. Therefore, there would be 78 / 2 = 39 percent of guanine present in that certain DNA.

How did early humans survive without clothes?
blsea [12.9K]
Of course we can survive without clothes. We evolved a hairless body because our ancestor was an ape that was forced to live in the hot, open savanna, where fur is not needed. In fact, many people around the world did not wear any clothes. Native Hawaiians, for example, wore no clothes when the first European explorers arrived. Amazonians and Africans also did not wear clothes. Humans evolved in Africa about 150,000 years ago, and the early humans wore no clothes. Humans started migrating out of Africa about 60,000 to 70,000 years ago. They followed the coast line and went all the way to Australia. These early migrants ended up in places that required no clothes. Only when humans migrated to places like ice age Europe and northern parts of Asia (northern parts of China, Japan and Korea) did they need to wear clothes or animal skins to stay warm. Wearing clothes blocks out the sun and these people were in danger of vitamin D deficiency, which leads to rickets. Rickets can result in muscle cramps, broken or deformed bones and even death. In order to absorb enough UV light to synthesize vitamin D, there was strong selection pressure to evolve lighter skin tones.

The habit of wearing clothes, even in places that do not require them, was spread by European Christians. Basically they forced and/or shamed the natives to wear clothes wherever they went.Of course, not wearing clothes means that humans will no longer be able to live in temperate areas around the world, at least not during the fall and winter months.
