Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form

terry physics pushes a 75kg lab cart so that is accelerates from rest with a velocity of 4.4m/s in 3.1 secounds. what is the for
svetlana [45]

106.5N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of cart = 75kg

Velocity = 4.4m/s

time taken = 3.1s

Unknown:

Force = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply newton's second law of motion. The law states that "the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force on the body and inversely proportional to the mass".

      F = m  x   a

F = force on body

m = mass of body

a = acceleration of the body

 But we know that acceleration is the change in velocity with time of a body;

     a  = \frac{change in velocity }{time}

  F = m x \frac{V}{t}

V is the velocity

t is the time taken

   F = \frac{75  x  4.4}{3.1}   = 106.5N
