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

¿Como se sintetiza una proteína?
Arisa [49]
La síntesis de proteínas se realiza en los ribosomas situados en el citoplasma celular. En el proceso de síntesis, los aminoácidos son transportados por ARN de transferencia correspondiente para cada aminoácido hasta el ARN mensajero donde se unen en la posición adecuada para formar las nuevas proteínas.

mixer [17]

Answer:

1. asexual, mitosis  2. sexual  3. gametes, meiosis  4. haploid 5. sex cells

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is the form of reproduction that occurs whereby there is no fusion of gametes or a change in the number of chromosomes. The produced daughter cells are genetically similar to the parent. the form of cell division that occurs here is through a process of mitosis.

Different organisms adopt different type of asexual reproduction including binary fission, spore formation, fragmentation etc.

Sexual reproduction in contrast generates genetically unique organism through the fusion of two different organisms sex cells. To accomplish sexual reproduction, gametes that are haploid through a process of meiosis must be produced which are the egg cell and the sperm cells (the sex cells). These haploid cells are produced only in the germ cells to ensure the production of a diploid zygote.
