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.

Prokaryotes divide by binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction in which
evablogger [386]

Prokaryotes divide by binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction in which a cell divides into two cells with identical genetic information.

Explanation:

Binary fission and mitosis can be viewed as the same principle of  asexual reproduction to give out two identical cells. However, the major difference between the two is that binary fission is to prokaryotes and mitosis is to eukaryotes. Remember that prokaryotes do not have a true nucleus (they have a nucleoid) hence binary fission does not involve the dividing of the nucleus. Mitosis does.

Sexual reproduction is responsible for creating variation in offspring especially due to the process of meiosis in gamete development and subsequent fertilization of two gametes from different parents.
