Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA,

can you use it to predict the amounts of all four nucleotide bases when you only know the amount of one type of base? Approximately 21% of the human genome is comprised of nucleotides containing C. Given this information, calculate the percentage of the human genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing G, T, and A.
a. _____% of the human genome is comprised of G.
b. _____% of the human genome is comprised of T.
c. _____% of the human genome is comprised of A.

Answer:

a. 21% G

b. 29% T

c. 29% A

Explanation:

Based on Chargaff's rule, we know that A = T and C = G.

.21 C => .21 G

.21 + .21 = .42

So we know all the C and G is .42. So what's left must be the A and T.

1 - .42 = .58

There's .58 A and T, so divide that in half, because they're equal amounts.

.58/2 = .29

.29 A => .29 T

Which of the following is a trait that links modern primates into a single taxonomic group?
swat32

Answer:a. Retention of five functional digits on the tore and hindimbs

Explanation:

The presence of five digits or pentadactyly on the fingers as well as on the toes makes the primates distinct from other mammals. Also the keratin nails are present on each digit makes these organisms distinct from other mammals.

The five digits on the hindlimbs helps in grip of objects and on toes helps in climbing.

A client has been diagnosed with aplastic anemia. the nurse is aware that the client’s lab results will identify:
shutvik [7]
In aplastic anemia, then lab result will be decreased in all blood component( white blood cells, red blood cells, and thrombocyte). 
Aplastic anemia is caused by the bone marrow failure. Bone marrow is the place that produces blood cells, so the decrease wouldn't be in the red blood cell only, but in other blood cells too. There shouldn't be any iron deficiency or decreases in the mean corpuscular volume

A geologist is studying two different rhyolite flows to determine if they were erupted at the same time.
ss7ja [257]
Q1. The answer is 1.

It can be calculated using the equation:

 (1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining, 

n - a number of half-lives.


x = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.5

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.5)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.5)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.5)

n = log(0.5)/log(0.5)

n = 1


Q10. The answer is 2.


It can be calculated using the equation:

 (1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining, 

n - a number of half-lives.


Rhyolite #2 has 25% of the parent H remaining:

x = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.25

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.25)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.25)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.25)

n = log(0.25)/log(0.5)

n = -0.602 / - 0.301

n = 2



Q3. The answer is 100 million years.


A number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (t) and length of half-life (H):

n = t/H

n = 1

t = ?

H = 100 000 000 years


n = t/H

t = n * H

t = 1 * 100 000 000 years

t = 100 000 000 years<span>

What can be said about the diversity of life in the high tide zone compared to that of the low tide zone?
Airida [17]

Answer:

B. There is less biodiversity in the high tide zone because the tidal changes make survival difficult.

Explanation:

The high tide and low tide zones are located on the seashore as the ocean water merges with land.

High tide zones are usually covered with water during high ocean tide while low tide zones are always submerged in water.

There is low biodiversity in the high tide zone because the tide here changes rapidly and organisms find it difficult to adapt. Organisms that inhabit here must be welll adapted to withstand peroids of high tides.
