What percent of guanine would it contain if thymine is 42%

aliina [53]3 years ago

You can also calculate the percentage of adenine when given the percentage of guanine or cytosine. Since you know there are only four bases in DNA, all four bases together must equal 100 percent of the sample. If given the information that the sample is 20 percent guanine, you can surmise it is also 20 percent cytosine since guanine and cytosine pair with each other. Together, that is 40 percent of the total sample. You can subtract that 40 percent from 100 percent and determine 60 percent of the sample must be adenine and thymine together. Since those two bases always exist in equal concentrations, you know the DNA sample is 30 percent adenine.

What happens to the tension in the xylem when the stomata close and evaporation stops? It remains constant the moment the stomat
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurs when the stomata close and evaporation stops is that, the tension in the xylem continues to increase until the living cells of the leaf are fully hydrated. This happens according to the cohesion-tension theory of sap ascent.

This happens at night. Transpiration stops immediately when the stomata is closed. There is a cohesion between each water molecule and adhesion between the water molecules and the stem walls; water is held in the leaves ad stems when the stomata is closed this hereby increases the tension.

sattari [20]
The answer to the question stated above is: letter C.Traits acquired during a lifetime are not passed on to offspring.

>Lamark had doubts too. He cited the animal's neck as an example. He said that animal's neck<span> could get a bit longer when its owner often stretched it,  trying to reach higher leaves in the trees for example. But, t</span>hat's actually not stretching. The truth was too far beyond belief. 
However, merely because a physical change has been achieved by an individual, it doesn't mean that those changes can be inherited by their descendants.

What would happen if we didn't have photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
gayaneshka [121]
1)Without photosynthesis: If we didn't have plants, algae and bacteria  to do the photosynthesis, CO2, a air pollutant wouldn't be converted in to glucose for those organisms and there would be no more Oxygen released to the atmosphere. Less photosynthesis  means less oxygen production and many organisms, like us, would die.
2)Without cellular respiration: Without this process we couldn't convert our food into the energy, ATP, necessary for the cells to function properly. Plus, this process also forms water, and without it, it would be another reason for the death of the cells.
Ultimately, will cause the death of the aerobic organism.
