DNA consists of four nitrogenous bases: A, T, C, and G. Because A and T form a pair and C and G form a pair, the percentage composition of A is equal to T and the percentage composition of C is equal to G. This is called Chargaff's Rule.

In this sample, 20% is T. Because the percent composition of A is equal to T, we can expect 20% to also be A. That means that A and T make up 40% of the sample. That leaves 60% of the sample as C and G. The percentage composition of C must be equal to G, so divide 60% by 2 to get 30% G and 30% C.

So the answer is 30%.

Explanation:

The Electrically initiated Improvised Explosive Device (IED) generally consist of four component with the acronym PIES, the P stands for power sources which supplies electrical charge to the I; initiator contains a small amount of explosives such TNT or PETN which triggers the remaining amount of explosive, E is the explosive itself  which is triggered into explosion by the initiator and finally the S, Swtich, example clock or a cell phone which determine the device explodes

The carbon cycle is one of earths natural resources that enables all living organisms to inhabit the planet. For example, with out this vital resource we would run out of oxygen. Flora (plants and trees) use the carbon that is a by product of cellular respiration by fauna (humans and animals) to reproduce oxygen and this cycle continues. which is what keeps all living organisms in harmony and alive.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) block the actions of the COX enzymes and their production of eicosanoids from ___
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Arachidonic acids

Explanation:

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are drugs used due to their analgesic, anti-inflammatory effects.

It inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme that takes part in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX) and the production of eicosanoids.

Eicosanoids are made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or from other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are close to arachidonic acid which are 20 carbon units in length.

They are important cell signaling molecules that inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever,regulate abortion of pregnancy and normal childbirth, regulating cell growth.
