If a dna molecule were known to be 22% thymine (t), what would be the percentage of guanine (g) present?

Biology

Viktor [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Erwin Chargff's rule, he stated that, adenine (a purine) always forms base pairs with thymine (a pyrimidine) and that guanine (a purine) always forms base pairs with cytosine (a pyrimidine). an adenine does not form base pairs with cytosine despite it being a pyrimidine.

thus the amount of adenine will always be equal to that of thymine while

the amount of guanine will always be equal to that of cytosine. Therefore, since we have 22% of adenine, the amount of thymine will also be 22% making a total of 44%. thus to find the amount of guanine and cytosine = 100-44= 56%.

the amount of guanine will thus be 56/2= 28%, since guanine and cytosine are of equal amount.

Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Their function is
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is that the neural reflex arc becomes slow by the hormones involved.

Explanation:

A neural pathway that controls a reflex is known as a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, the sensory neuron transmits a signal to the interneuron and stimulates it. The interneuron then transmits or passes the signal to the next neuron, that is, a motor neuron. The motor neuron associates with the interneurons in the spinal cord, which transmits messages from the CNS to the body. Thus, a reflex arc comprises the elements, that is, the receptor, integrating center, and the effector. Their main activity is to protect the body from external events.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E) "The presence of one or more introns".

Explanation:

Introns are non coding sequences located within genetic sequences that are removed during RNA maturation by a process known as RNA splicing. A gene that has 2000 nucleotide pairs but is translated into a mRNA molecule with 1200 nucleotides most likely have one or more introns that in conjunction are of 800 nucleotides in size. Once the intros are removed from the mRNA molecule the coding sequence is ready to be translated into a protein.
