Answer:

AACGTGC

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid composed of long polynucleotide chains made up of four types of nucleotide subunits viz: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T). Each of these chains is known as a DNA strand.

Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotide subunits hold the chains together to form a double-helical structure that the DNA is found. The holding together of these bases in the DNA molecule follows the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that an Adenine base always hydrogen bond with Thymine base (A-T) and Guanine base always hydrogen bonds with Cytosine base (G-C).

Based on this principle, in a DNA molecule with one of the strands called a template strand has sequence: TTGCACG, the complementary base sequence of this sequence on the template strand will be AACGTGC

So there are four types of nucleotides in DNA:

Adenine
Cytosine
Guanine
Thymine

And the complements are:

Adenine ⇄ Thymine
Cytosine ⇄ Guanine

<u>Using this information, the complementary base of TTGCACG is AACGTGC.</u>

A plastic bottle contains 32.5 L of gas at a pressure of 45.7 kPa and

Monica [59]

Answer:

Final pressure, P2 = 362.26 kPa

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 32.5 Liters

Initial pressure = 45.7 kPa

Final volume = 4.1 Liters

To find the final pressure, we would use Boyle's law;

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$45.7 * 32.5 = P_{2} * 4.1$

$1485.25 = 4.1P_{2}$

$P_{2} = \frac {1485.25}{4.1}$

$P_{2} = 362.26$

Final pressure, P2 = 362.26 kPa

Determine whether each of the following is a characteristic of the life cycle of a seed plant, a seedless plant, or both. Double

Gnoma [55]

Double fertilization-plants with seeds (flowering plants), two male gametes joining with female gametophyte

Gametophyte generation-both (haploid, sexual stage stage-gametophyte, and the diploid stage that produces spores – sporophyte)

Endosperm formed-plants with seed because it is a tissue formed inside the seed which surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition

Mitosis-both (mitosis occurres in spores)

Spores develop into gametophytes-both but, in seedless plants sporophyte produces spores that will develop into a new organism (multicellular gametophyte) using mitosis, while spores of seed plants are produced internally and develop into more complex structures.

egoroff_w [7]

The most likely meaning of this world would be c - ancient. This is probably true because when you think about it, when you're talking about an archetype, you're not talking about something dead nor extinct, neither about ruins, but you might be talking about something ancient - and the same goes for archaeology.
