Answer:

Thymine= 60 ng

Guanine= 20 ng

The complementary base pairing occurs between adenine and thymine and guanine and cytosine bases.

Explanation:

According to the Chargaff rule, a double-helical DNA molecule has an equal number or equal amount of adenine and thymine bases since adenine always pairs with thymine. Similarly, the amount of guanine base is equal to that of the cytosine base.

Chargaff rule is based on the complementary base pairing between purine and pyrimidine bases. According to the given information, the amount of adenine is 60 ng. Therefore, the cell would have 60 ng thymine. Similarly, the amount of the cytosine base in the cell is 20 ng which means that the cell would have 20 ng of guanine base.

ira [324]

Answer:

Resistance = 30 Ω

Explanation:

The resistance of an electric circuit = \frac{Voltage}{current}

voltage = 24V

current (I) = 0.80A

Therefore, R = \frac{24}{0.8}  = 30

R = 30 ohms

What are the different steps to cellular respiration?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Steps to cellular respiration:

1) In the first step of respiration, glycolysis occurs in which glucose molecule is converted into pyruvate molecule.

2) Krebs cycle is also called citric acidity cycle. In this cycle, hydrogen and electron are produced from the oxidation of pyruvate molecule and provides to electron transport chain.

3) Electrons carried by NADH + H and FADH2 are converted into oxygen through a series of electron carriers, and production of ATP occurs.
