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

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.

Question 6 of 10
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is D viruses that enter a lysogenic cycle do not immediately kill a host cell.

Explanation:

Lysogenic  cycle is carried out by lambda phage which integrate its DNA with the genome of bacteria resulting in the formation of prophage.

    The phage DNA replicate along with bacterial DNA and exist in this form for a period of time until the phage DNA recognizes any type of mutation such as exposure to ultraviolet ray which helps the lambda phage to enter the lytic cycle.

Can someone help me with facts about rainforests? I have to do a project and I'm stumped.
jeka57 [31]
Rainforest cover only 2 % of the total surface area of the Earth but in spite of that about 50 % of plants and animals that live on the Earth live there.

By definition rainforests are forests that recieve high amounts of rainfall so you can actually find rainforests in Alaska for example (other examples: Canada, Asia, Africa, Latin and South-America)

About 1/4 of natural medicines are found in rainforests. 70 % or more of the plants that are used to treat cancer are found only in tropical rainforest on the planet.

Trees in tropical rainforests are so dense that it takes approximately 10 min for the rainfall to reach the ground from canopy.

HELP PLEASE!!!!What are the different types of limiting factors found in nature?
balu736 [363]
There are both physical and biological limiting factors found in nature.

-Physical factors (abiotic factors) include temperature, water availability, oxygen, salinity, light, food and nutrients.

-Biological factors (biotic factors) involve interactions between organisms such as predation, competition, parasitism and 
herbivory.

Despite the high-level of biodiversity, this biome has infertile soils, principally oxisols, to which the vegetation has roots s
irina [24]
The biome that has infertile soil, principally oxisols, to which the vegetation <span>has roots systems that capture nutrients from litter decay, is the tropical rainforest.

Soil types are highly variable in the tropics and are the result of a combination of several elements or variables which includes climate, vegetation, topographic position, parent material and also the soil age. Most of the tropical soils are described by leaching and poor nutrients. It also has two classifications: namely the ultisols and oxisols. Ultisols are known as well-weathered, acidic red clays soils. They are deficient primarily in major nutrients such as potassium and calcium. Oxisols are also an acidic type of tropical soil. However, they are well drained compared to the ultisols.
