Answer: The viral nucleic acid is most likely Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Explanation:
Unlike ribonucleic acid (RNA) where uracil can be found, thymine alongside adenine, cytosine and guanine are only found in DNA.
Thus, the presence of 10% thymine in the newly discovered virus makes its analyzed nucleic acid to be deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Answer:
21 minutes or 0.35 hours
Explanation:
The formula for exponential population growth is

where
initial population of E.coli i.e 100
k is the rate of population growth i.e 2 as the population doubles
t is the time period i.e 20 minutes
Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

Generation time
minutes
or 0.35 hours
Plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells.
