Answer:

When analyzing data on the nitrogenous base content of the DNA of various species, the claims are supported by the data:

  • <em>In any one species, the amount of adenine closely approximates that of thymine.  </em>
  • <em>In any one species, the amount of guanine closely approximates that of cytosine.  </em>
  • <em>The amounts of A, T, G, and C in DNA varies from species to species. </em>

<em>(options A, B and D)</em>

Explanation:

Organizing the data has to:

<u>Source of DNA      A            T            G            C </u>

Streptococcus    29.8       31.6        20.5       18.0

Yeast                   31.3        32.9       18.7         17.1

Herring                27.8       27.5       22.2       22.6

Human                30.9       29.4       19.9        19.8

E. Coli                  24.7       23.6        26.0      25.7

DNA is the molecule that contains the genetic information of each species, formed by sequences of nitrogenous bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.

Since Adenine and Thymine -as well as Cytosine and Guanina- are complementary, the percentage of them will be very similar in each DNA molecule.

The genetic information -which determines the physical and functional characteristics of each organism- is encoded in the DNA and is different for each species, so the percentages of nitrogenous bases vary from species to species.

What was antoine lavesters results for after his series of experiments
FinnZ [79.3K]
In experiments with phosphorus and sulfur, both of which burned readily, Lavoisier showed that they gained weight by combining with air. With lead calx, he was able to capture a large amount of air that was liberated when the calx was heated. To a suspicious Lavoisier, these results were not explained by phlogiston

What determines the structure and function of a proteins?
mote1985 [20]

The function of a protein is determined by its shape. The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids). The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
