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

Which statement correctly compares the transfer of genetic material during mitosis and meiosis?
guajiro [1.7K]

<span>d. During mitosis daughter cells receive an exact copy of the parent cells and during meiosis it only receives half of the genetic material.

</span><span>Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. Meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. </span>

Which two statements summarize a way that an other-feeder gets food?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

B. Sphagnum moss takes in energy from sunlight.

D. Euglenas carry out photosynthesis.

Explanation:

According to the question, "a self-feeder" means an autotrophic organism i.e. an organism that produces or obtains food by itself. The process by which an autotrophic organism obtains food is referred to as PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis entails the synthesis of food in form of organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.

Based on this, Euglenas, which is a plant-like protist, carrying out photosynthesis and Sphagnum moss, which is a lower plant (bryophyte) taking in energy from sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis are two examples that describes a "self-feeder"

Can I have brainliest please? :)
