Answer:

36 thymine and 24 guanine.

Explanation:

A DNA is a double helix structure in which each helix consists of complementary bases.

The complementary bases are -

a) Adenine and thymine

b) guanine and cytosine

Thus above two pairs of nucleotide bases pair with each other in equal amount .

Thus , if 36 bases of adenine has to form a pair with thymine there must be 36 bases of thymine

Like wise, if 24 bases of cytosine has to form a pair with guanine there must be 24 bases of guanine

Thus , the correct answer is option 36 thymine and 24 guanine.

The binding of a compound to an enzyme is observed to slow down or stop the rate of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. Increa
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is A the compound is a competitive inhibitor

Explanation:

Competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate to bind to the active site of the target enzyme and after binding to the active site the inhibitor slow down or stop the reaction catalyzed by that enzyme.

          Competitive inhibitor basically effects the Km value of the enzyme thus decreasing the activity of the later.

           Increasing the substrate concentration displace the inhibitor from the enzyme"s active site thus reducing the inhibitory effects of the later thus increasing the activity of the enzyme.

Which is an example of positive gravitropism?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

c. the plant root growing down into the soil

Explanation:

The plant root going down deep into the soil is an example of positive gravitropism. Gravity pulls everything towards the center of earth i.e. downwards and roots follow the direction of gravity automatically by growing downward towards soil that is why it is known as positive gravitropism. In short we can say that root favors the direction of gravity.

Shoot on the other hand show negative geotropism/gravitropism i.e. it grows towards the opposite direction of gravity. Shoot grow towards upside direction i.e. away from the surface towards sky.
