A sample of DNA contains 120 nucleotides, if 35 nucleotides are Guanine, how many nucleotides are Thymine?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

25

Explanation:

In DNA, Guanine pairs with Cytosine, and Thymine pairs with Adenine. This tells us that there are equal numbers for each Guanine and Cytosine, and Thymine and Adenine. When there's 35 Guanine, there should be 35 Cytosine that goes with it. 120 - 2(35) = 50. The remaining 50 nucleotides are Thymine and Adenine, and since they are the same number, divide 50 by 2. 50 ÷ 2 = 25. There are 25 thymine in the sample of DNA.

Which are the three main types of lipids
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The three main types of lipids are - triglycerides, diglycerides, and steroids.

Explanation:

Lipids are organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents (alcohol, ether). The three common lipids are triglycerides, diglycerides, and steroids.

An ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids is a triglyceride. These are the main component of body fat in the vertebrates as well as the vegetable fat.

A Glyceride consisting of 2 fatty acid chains bonded to a glycerol molecule covalently through ester linkages is a diglyceride.

Biologically active organic compounds with four rings arranged in a specific molecular configuration are steroids.
