Oxana [17]3 years ago

Answer:

32%

Explanation:

According to Chargaff in his complementary base pairing rule, he stated that the proportion of purine and pyrimidine bases is equal to 100%

That is, A + T + G + C = 100%

Where A=T and G=C i.e the proportion of each base pair is equal.

Hence, if the Guanine content is 18%, it means the Cytosine content of that DNA molecule must also be 18%. Therefore:

18 + 18 + A + T = 100

A + T = 100 - 36

A + T = 64

If the sum proportion of Adenine and Thymine is 64% and each must contain equal proportions, A or T = 64/2 = 32

Hence, Adenine contains 32%, likewise Thymine.

Of cells is one of the processes that help multicellular organisms maintain homeostasis
lord [1]

Answer:

<u><em>Reproduction</em></u> of cells is one of the processes that help multicellular organisms maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

In biology, homeostasis can be described as the capability of an organism to maintain its constant internal environment despite the changes in the external environment.

External factors like pathogens in the environment tend to kill cells in our body like the skin cells and the immune cells. Through the process of cell division, our cells can reproduce and hence, maintain an equilibrium of the internal conditions.

Reproduction of cells also causes growth. Hence, the process of reproduction of cells maintains homeostasis.

Explain why transboundary environmental threats like pollution are a problem for both parties, even if one community is principa
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Due to its spreading nature.

Explanation:

Transboundary environmental threats like pollution is a problem for both parties i. e. one that is producing pollution and the other which is not producing it, because pollution can't remain at one place and spread from one part to another part of the earth due to open environment. So due to its spreading, it affected both the producing and non-producing parties.
