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.

Distinguishing the Domains of Life
vitfil [10]

Answer:

1) Organisms in this domain can be unicellular or multicellular - Eukarya

2) Organisms in this domain are unicellular and are often found in extreme environments - Archaea

3) Organisms in this domain have cells that contain a nucleus - Eukarya

Explanation:

All living organisms were classified into a large group consisting of three types of organisms called DOMAIN. It is the highest taxonomic rank of organisms. The three domains that life was classified into are: Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya.

The domain Archaea contains organisms that are unicellular and prokaryotic i.e. they do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. The organisms in this domain are characterized by their ability to survive in harsh environmental conditions e.g hot temperatures etc

The domain Bacteria also consists of unicellular and prokaryotic organisms. They contain cell walls in their cells made up of peptidoglycan unlike domain Archaea and Eukarya.

The domain Eukarya consists of organisms that are both unicellular and multicellular and strictly eukaryotic i.e. possess a membrane bound nucleus that houses their genetic material. They are divided into Kingdoms: Protista, Plantae, Animalia and Fungi.

1.<br> Describe two advantages of genetic engineering.
Novay_Z [31]
One advantage of genetic engineering is the production of valuable proteins: recombinant DNA made possible the use of bacteria to produce proteins of medical importance such as genetically engineered human insulin which is of great importance.
Another advantage is the production of vaccines. Vaccines produced by genetic engineering offer an advantage that the microbial strains from which proteins are extracted do not contain complete viruses and thus there is no risk of accidental inoculation with live virus.
