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

Answer:

<h2>a.  1000 X 2^8</h2>

Explanation:

As given;

Initial population of bacteria= 1000;

Log phase growth is exponential phase, period in which bacteria gets double.

Generation time= 15 minutes;

it means, bacteria get double in every 15 minute,

so after 2 hours, bacteria will have 8 generation times;

so the final generation of bacteria is =1000 X 2^8.

Final bacterial generation after two hours = 256,000(1000 X 2^8)

As a project manager, sarah uses many different tools and techniques. which tool or technique should sarah use to hold a kickoff
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: teleconferencing

Explanation:

    Using peer-to-peer collaboration will not work if the members work at many different locations.

    While instant messaging may work, it can be hard to have a meeting this way.

     Templates do not apply to this situation.

     This leaves us with the answer of "teleconferencing" as you can have a meeting with people online, even when they are far apart.

Select all that apply. Factors that can increase mutation rates are _____. high temperatureslow temperaturesfood additivesUV ray
Artemon [7]
<span>Factors that can increase mutation rates are high and low temperatures, food additives, and UV rays. All of these answers are correct. Mutation rates in genes vary depending on many environmental effects. UV rays, along with varying temperatures, can cause mutations during cell division due to the damage they impart on the cells that are dividing. Dangerous food additives are believed to cause mutations, as seen in animal studies (ie. aspartame causing cancer in rats).</span>
