The amount of Adenine always equals the amount of Thymine, and The amount of Cytosine always equals the amount of Guanine. (Chargaff's Rule)

So, Adenine is 36, therefore Thymine is 36.
Cytosine is 24, therefore Guanine is 24

That should add up to 100 base pairs if you add all 4 types together.

How did fossil<br> fuels form, and how<br> are they obtained<br> and used?
Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are important energy sources for our every day activities.

  Formation of fossil fuels

Fossil fuels forms from the accumulation and burial of organisms in a basin of deposition. Instead of the organisms decaying, they preserve their carbon content. To be worthy of becoming fossil fuels, organisms must be buried in an environment where there is little to no oxygen to fast-track decomposition of the buried organic matter. Increase in temperature and pressure causes the organic matter to transform into fossil fuels.

How are they obtained

First, different fossil fuels have their extraction techniques because they occur in different physical state of matter.

For the solids e.g coal: exploration is carried out first and if a prospect is delineated, mining engineers design the best way to extract the coal from nature. Coal is usually found laid in sedimentary beds in nature. Top layers of sediments can be removed to extract the coal.

For fluids such as crude oil and natural gas, after a prospect is identified, a rig is usually constructed to extract the fluid and gas. The natural pressure allows for the fluids the rise within the drill used in extraction.

How are they used

Coal and gas are used to power electrical generating plants. They are used to heat steams which drives turbines and produce electricity.

Natural gas is used as a domestic fuel for cooking and so also coal.

When crude is processed a lot of product is obtained. Gasoline is used to power most internal combustion engines. Some chemicals useful for manufacturing plastics, drugs e.t.c are also derived from the processed crude.

The presence of which organelle indicates that eukaryotic cells have evolved from prokaryotic cells
mixer [17]

The presence of a membrane bound nucleus describes the evolution of eukaryotes from prokaryotic organisms. The endosymbiotic theory describes the same, the large cells engulfed the smaller ones, and the engulfed cells were not digested but started living in mutual cooperation with the engulfing cell. Mitochondria and chloroplast are thought to be the engulfed cell

Lipids form the membranes surrounding the cell and various internal compartments within an organism. Which property of lipids ma
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Hydrophobic Properties

Explanation:

Lipids and water do not mix. The contents of cells in the larger proportion is the cytoplasm, this is made up mostly of water. The lipids serve as a barrier; the contents that are distributed in a watery medium will not be able to mix. This is due to the hydro-phobic or water "hating" capacity of lipids.
