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

xeze [42]

Answer:

No, it wouldn't provide all the elements needed to assemble lipids, nucleic acids or proteins.

Explanation:

As it can be seen from the diagram, the breakdown of glucose molecules will release hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. All these elements are needed to make lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. But apart from these elements, other elements are also required for the making of these compounds. For example, nucleic acid would require the elements nitrogen and phosphorus apart from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen for its making. Proteins would need nitrogen, sulphur and selenium apart from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

I hope this works

A cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells? How many daughter cells are
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Four daughter cells are produced each with 40 chromosomes. The daughter cells would exhibit genetic variations and would not be genetically identical to each other.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division that forms four daughter cells from one parent cell as two sequential division meiosis I and meiosis II do not include any DNA replication between them. Crossing over during prophase-I of meiosis-I includes the exchange of genetic segments and occurs between the homologous chromosomes. It produces new gene combinations in the daughter cells which were otherwise not present in the parent cell.

Since there is no DNA replication between meiosis I and meiosis II, the daughter cells have half the number of the chromosomes compared to the parent cell. This occurs as homologous chromosomes move towards the opposite pole during anaphase I.

Therefore, a parent cell with 80 chromosomes will make a total of 4 daughter cells by meiosis. Each daughter cell would have 40 chromosomes. These daughter cells would have some new gene combinations and would be genetically dissimilar among themselves.
