Dna has unique properties that allow it to accurately retain genetic information, even after multiple rounds of replication. one

aspect of dna that allows it to accurately store genetic information is the base pairing from chargaff\'s first rule of the four nucleotide bases. if the a content of a dna molecule is 16%, what are the percentages of the remaining bases?

There are four different bases that make the DNA molecule:
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine.
Due to chemical properties of the bases, there are two pairs of bases that are complementary, Adenine and Thymine and Guanine and Cytosine.
So, if we have 16% of Adenine, there must be the same amount of Thymine, since they only appear in a pair.
16% of Adenine + 16% of Thymine - 32 %
the rest of the abundance of the bases can be calculated by subtracting the 32% out of the 100%: 100-32 = 68
So, Guanine and Cytosine make up 68% of the bases, and a half of that number is the amount each of the bases has in the total amount. 68/2= 34
16% Adenine -  16% Thymine
34% Guanine - 34% Cytosine

astraxan [27]

Complete question:

17. In the 1950’s a young woman sued film star/director Charlie Chaplin for parental support of  her illegitimate child. Charlie Chaplin’s blood type was already on record as type  AB. The mother of the child had type A (AO) and her son had type O blood (OO).

a. Complete a Punnett square for the possible  cross of Charlie and the mother.

b. The judge ruled in favor of the mother and ordered Charlie Chaplin to pay child  support costs of the child. Was the judge correct in his decision based on blood typing  evidence? Explain why or why not. *refer to any Punnett squares to support your answer.

Answer:

The judge committed a mistake in his decision. There are <u>no chances</u> for this couple to have a child who has 0 blood type.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Charlie Chaplin’s blood type was AB
  • The mother of the child had type A (AO)
  • The son had type O blood (OO).

Cross: Charlie Chaplin x The Woman

Parental)    IAIB    x    IAi

Gametes) IA   IB       IA     i

Punnett square)    IA          IB

                      IA   IAIA      IAIB

                        i    IAi        IBi

F1)  1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAIA genotype, blood type A

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAi genotype, blood type A

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAIB genotype, blood type AB

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny wouldl have IBi genotype, blood type B

According to the results of the cross observed in the Punnett square, there are no chances for this couple to have a child who has 0 blood type.

Blood type 0 can only be produced by two recessive alleles i, one inherited from each parent. The mother could provide the recessive allele because she is IBi, but Chaplin could not pass to his progeny any recessive allele.

The judge committed a mistake in his decision.

Your classmate has indicated that she wants to experiment with growing tomatoes hydroponically. She is planning to grow the plan
goblinko [34]

The hydroponic method involves growing the tomatoes in a nutrient solution which contains all of the essential elements.

The practise of growing plants without the need for soil is known as hydroponics. Flowers, herbs, and vegetables grown hydroponically are planted in inert growing material and are then given nutrient-rich solutions, oxygen, and water throughout the growing process. The use of this technique results in accelerated growth increased yields, and improved quality. When a plant is growing in soil, the roots of the plant are always looking for the nutrients it needs to survive in order to provide for the plant's needs. If the root system of a plant is provided with direct access to water and nutrients, the plant does not need to expend any energy in order to maintain its own life. It is possible to focus the energy that the plant's roots would have spent obtaining food and water toward the growth of the plant instead. As a direct consequence of this, the development of new leaves and the blossoming of fruits and flowers are both stimulated.

If someone were to load a firearm with the wrong-sized ammunition, what would likely be the end result? A, The shot would have a
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C "There could be damage done to the firearm, and serious injury to the shooter".

Explanation:

There could be serious consequences of using the wrong ammunition when a firearm is being loaded. There could be damage done to the firearm, because the cartridge of the firearm could become lodged and could even explode. However, the most serious situation is the injury that the shooter could receive as result of the explosion. The data stamp of the ammunition must be checked to avoid this situation.
