Now can you predict nucleotide quantities in a hypothetical scenario with more than four different types of nucleotides? An alie

n species was discovered that has DNA comprised of 6 different bases: G binds to C; A binds to T: and X binds to Y. Approximately 16% of this alien genome is comprised of nucleotides containing C, and 22% is comprised of nucleotides containing Y. Given this information, calculate the percentage of the alien genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing G, T, A, and X. (a) _____% of the alien genome is comprised of G. (b) _____% of the alien genome is comprised of T. (c) _____% of the alien genome is comprised of A. (d) _____% of the alien genome is comprised of X.

Answer:

16% is G

12% is T

12%is A

22% is X

Explanation:

Given that each nucleotide is complimentary to another nucleotide, there cannot be more of one than the other. For example, C bonds to G, so there cannot be more C than G, because there would be nothing for it to bond to.

So if there is approximately 16% of the genome composed of C, that would mean that approximately 16% is composed of G (for it to bond to).

The same logic can be used to determine the amount of nucleotide X is present. If Y binds to X, and approximately 22% is composed of nucleotide Y, then the same percentage can be given to nucleotide X, and say the amount of X is 22%.

Now all of the nucleotides have to add up to 100%, so:

A + T + G + C + X + Y = 100%

A + T + (16%) + (16%) + (22%) + (22%) = 100%

A + T = 24%

Given that A binds to T, they must be equal to each other, hence we can say that the concentration of A, equals the concentration of T.

Therefore, the concentration of A is 12%, and the concentration of T is also 12%.

Which of these are true regarding eukaryotes? (choose all that apply)
OleMash [197]

Answer:

b. During replication there is both a leading strand and a lagging strand .

c. Each replication bubble has two replication forks.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication to replicate the long chromosomes at a higher rate.

The two DNA strands have opposite polarity, that is, 5' end of the one DNA strand is present opposite to the 3' end of the other DNA strand. DNA replication occurs only in 5' to 3' direction and the direction of the movement of the replication fork is also 5' to 3' direction.

To allow the DNA replication in 5' to 3' direction on both strands, one strand is replicated discontinuously in the direction opposite to the movement of the replication fork.

The discontinuously replicated strand is lagging strand while the other one is the leading strand.

DNA replication in eukaryotes occurs bidirectionally as two replication forks are formed at each replication bubble, one at each end of the replication bubble.

The presence of multiple origins of replication and the bidirectional process allows the replication of large eukaryotic DNA at a considerable fast speed.

In the United States, which climate types appear to be most affected by air masses
ivolga24 [154]
In the winter, cold, dry air masses tend to dominate the central and eastern United States as cold winds blow from the northwestern Canadian prairies. In summer, the warm southern winds blow moist, hot air into the eastern and central US, leading to days of high humidity and sultry conditions. In spring and fall, moving low and high pressure areas pull alternating warm and cold air masses across a given area, leading to a lot of variability in day-to-day weather.

Here are two types of rabbits: those that strictly eat grass and those that strictly eat berries and flowers. A drought occurs o
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Rabbit's population will reduce drastically

Explanation:

As it is clear from the given description, that drought adversely affects the production of flower and berries and hence the population of rabbits depending on berries and flowers will be adversely affected. Therefore, there are high chances of rabbits dying because of insufficient food during drought

Also, the foxes and hawks feed on the babies of rabbit. This further reduces the population of rabbits as the new ones are killed before attaining fertility.

Overall due to both predation (by foxes and hawks) and the drought the  population will reduce drastically.
