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

An electrician is carrying out some repairs in your house. He wants to replace a fuse by a piece of wire. Would you agree? Give
DerKrebs [107]

Answer: No

Explanation:

The electrician just cannot replace any piece of wire to fuse because the ceramic that is used in case of fuse has a wire attached in it.

This wire is of  low resistance so that when there is higher voltage the wire just cannot tolerate the high voltage and wire breaks down.

Any wire just cannot be replace by the fuse because the there are some calculations which has to be made.

The wire if used should be of low resistance and more properties then only it is eligible to be replaced by fuse.
