By definition, an expression does not contain AN EQUALS SIGN (=).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4:12= 1:3
We have the equation of the line as follows:
y = 0.5x + 79
We want to calculate the melting point (the y value) of DNA with 50% gc content (the x value).
The gc content represents the value of x in the equation, so to calculate the melting point (y), we will simply substitute the x with 50 in the equation of the line as follows:
melting point = 0.5(50) + 79 = 25 + 79 = 104 degrees
