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.

irinina [24]

When faced with a complex engineering problem, the best strategy usually involves( A ) Breaking the problem down into smaller problems and solving them individually.

Explanation:

Th first step of solving a complex problem involves problem identification-it means what exactly is the problem then we try to determine the possible sub-groups in which the problem can be further divided  and then numbering the sub groups.

The process of sub-grouping means that we are sub dividing the problems and then working upon the problem that needs the attention first and then according solving the other sub categories of the problem.

This method helps in breaking the complex problem into a series of small task that can be easily solved in a sequential manner .Thus the complexity of the problem gets reduced when it is divided into a number of small problems.
