Answer:

(a) 21% of the human genome is comprised of G.

(b) 29% of the human genome is comprised of T.

(c) 29% of the human genome is comprised of A.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule, a DNA molecule has the same amount of pyrimidines (T and C) as purines (A and G), and G pairs with C and A pairs with T.

If 21% of the genome contains C, then 21% also contains G.

Therefore 21% + 21% = 42% of the genome is comprised of G+C.

The other 58% is comprised of A+T, and because they pair with each other, 29% will correspond to A and 29% will correspond to T,

Which statement BEST characterizes the general relationship between air pressure and elevation?
Ad libitum [116K]

Both have an inverse relationship.


Explanation:

The two have an inverse relationship, that is, when elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.

This is due to the amount of air on top of you at your current elevation.

At lower elevations, you have more air above you, and thus more pressure.

At higher elevations, you have less air above you, and thus less pressure.


At high elevation food takes longer time too cook due to low pressure, so at high altitude pressure cooker is used to cook food.


OK, :)
